A few of us were chatting on Twitter. One thing led to another, and we decided to declare June to be Brum Music Month - a month-long celebration of all things Birmingham music.
Do with that what you will. We're just trying to encourage activities, events, t-shirts, media coverage, free compilation releases, film screenings, photography exhibitions - anything you can think of that will help commemorate Brum Music Month.
Keep an eye on the site for developments, music videos, announcements and more... but most importantly - get involved!
We're not organising Brum Music Month - YOU ARE!
Donate
Help us raise money for promotional banners stickers etc, that you can use to promote Brum Music Month at your event!
Brum Music Month on Twitter
If you're interested in being involved or keeping an eye on the conversation make sure you follow @brummusicmonth.
If you're writing about Brum Music Month, please use the hashtag #brummusicmonth - that'd be ace.
On The Big Paws we asked people to help build a composite Birmingham Music Venue — one place for music with all their favourite bits of real Brum venues (still there or closed).

THE ORGAN and the damn awesome proscenium arch type goings on from the Sanctuary. Ditch the rest, frankly, I want to see all medium-sized gigs in the Sanctuary.

Mirror ball from the Hare and Hounds. (I’, not 100% sure it’s still there but was certainly a key feature before the boho makeover.)

I can confirm that – as of last night – the H&H mirrorball is present and correct.

John Matie should be lurking around there somewhere.

The little square wooden stools by the stairs at Bar Academy which if you were lucky you could stand on and actually see the fucking band playing.

The church pews from The Foundry were pretty cool, too.
