Alternative Birmingham's Roots

I am here for Friends

About Me

Plz view the complete blog section above - there are now a number of Pubs/Clubs and not all places can be seen here

The friends list is randomly selected, so check back to see if you've been rotated in :-). I hope this meets with everyone's approval...if it doesn't..wellllllll...those that know me personally know the answer to that one ;-P

Your contributions are turning this into a talked about profile, and it's a really bloody busy one, so all I can say is "THANK YOU!!! PLEASE KEEP IT UP!!"

Peace. Donna


________________________________________________________

There are stories everywhere, Birmingham has people who are capable of passing their memories on, just like anywhere else, but these people are special...they are the people who have memories of times passed-by, people long since disappeared, and times well-spent.

This profile is dedicated to the venues that made a particular time in our lives; The Barrel Organ, Zig-zag, Wednesday nights at the Powerhouse and many more.

I want your stories, memories, pictures, scans of flyers for bands gigs, anything you have that can contribute to showing the youngsters exactly what an amazing time they missed.

Back then it wasn't too much about labels; The Barrel Organ in particular was a melting pot for goths, punks, rockers and anyone else who felt like dropping in.

It was unique and although people have tried to recreate the atmosphere, nothing will ever come close to the camaraderie of the Barrel Organ pub.

This is just a tribute - help me make it a good one please? If you have anything you would like to contribute then add it directly using the relevant blog section for pics, stories, ANYTHING you have.

Remember, an add to this profile has a price - we add you, you have to give us a story, or a pic, or anything, but something!
