True. It was possibly corporation street. Don’t remember exactly where.
I recollect going up stairs, row of seats across the window,
Turntables fed headphones for each one. Counter across the back.
these places are no more than a few hundred metres from each other,and the rotunda, site of the bomb, so I can’t see what point you are trying to make: indeed close too is Birmingham odeon, scene of many epic concerts. No idea what road that is on either. Saw gong and steve hillage play there, some of Branson’s early protégés. They were weird.
Did you know that area then?
Used to go into a place called oasis, as well , an upstairs gloomy indoor market, same group of people drifted Between the two. It wasn’t far from the station, which was new street. No idea if it is still there. Full of the smell of joysticks covering over weed. Days of afghan coats and loons. But then, I’m old enough to remember the dying days of the old snow hill station and the Hare Krishna lot handing out flowers. That is a long time ago. Over 50 years.
And I wasn’t supporting any views other than having been served by Branson, and mooching round central brum as a teenager.
It was “hip” to go there, even if you couldn’t afford the records.
I did indeed go there many times.
