pAST EVENTS
The final Black Sabbath performance on Saturday 5th July was a hugely momentous occasion, not only for Sabbath fans, not only for Birmingham, but mostly for the bands, musicians and audiences that, since the 1960s, have established Birmingham as THE UK HOME OF ROCK & ROLL!
And so we had to celebrate and reward Birmingham’s rock fans – the best in the UK – with an extravaganza of live music.
Over the 4 days of July 3rd to 6th, we held 20 performances, 18 of them free admission, in 14 venues.
The venues included pubs and bars, a music instrument store, libraries – and a canal boat! The music covered a wide spectrum of styles, ranging from Black Sabbath’s very first interest, The Blues, through to bands that play straight-ahead Sabbath, to others that have been influenced by them in some way.
See below for some photographs from the event.
