Some recent comments:

"Had such an enjoyable & informative evening at the ‘Birmingham’s Rock History’ talk, hosted by Des Tong of Sad Café with Bev Bevan, best known as drummer with ELO as well as Denny Laine and the Diplomats, The Move, Black Sabbath, ELO Part II and Quill. I’d wanted to see this talk for ages after catching their great documentary a few years ago, all about Brum’s rich music heritage. Give them a watch, they’re a must see for anyone into music."

"Superb evening very informative and a trip down memory lane for me.“

"Fabulous show, thoroughly enjoyed it.”
