What club was that, malumbu?

[malumbu]

Can't say precisely as you could work out who I am and I would get local villagers with burning torches outside my home. Small dodgy club in Brum where all the Birmingham bands of the time (early 60s) played, and pretty sure the Beetles in the early days. I've tried to get Bev Bevan of ELO to tell me more, and spoke to Steve Gibbons who also played there. Steve Winwood and Denny Laine were others. Oh and the 'N Betweens, who went onto become Ambrose Slade then Slade.

This part of the EDF. The lounge is dead, its passed on. This chat room is no more. It has ceased to be. It has expired and gone to meet its maker. 'Its a stiff, Bereft of life, it rests in peace. Its metabolic processes are now 'istory. Its kicked the bucket, Its shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible THIS IS AN EX-CHAT ROOM. With thanks to John Cleese and Graham Chapman.
