Apologies for delay in replying. Yes it does help. Would you think any photos may exist from that night?

During the course of your research was there any mention of a private Dexy’s gig at Holy City Zoo nightclub in Birmingham in March 1980? Trying to find photos if any exist. Thanks

@nigetassell.bsky.social is it possible I might ask you a question about your book β€˜Searching for Dexys Midnight Runners’ and some information regarding one of their gigs in 1980. Thanks

Does anyone recall attending a Dexy’s Midnight Runners gig at Holy City Zoo #Birmingham in the early 1980’s? Trying to find proof that it actually happened! Any info or pictures will be gratefully received. Many Thanks

@birmingham81.bsky.social would it be possible to chat via email with you re Holy City Zoo in Birmingham. Trying to find pics of a specific gig there in early 1980’s. Thanks

I believe it was Birmingham City. I might be wrong but during the 1980’s their fans sang β€˜Blakey come back’ during a game between the two sides.

I’m old enough to be the grandfather of several leading Premier League footballers!

Same here. I’m guessing 1967?

You’d have thought the goalkeeper might have sussed out what SM might do after the first one?

You’re being very kind to them using the term β€˜interpolating’ when it’s just a really shit Christmas medley!

@bamberbridgefc.bsky.social Coaching staff, players, even ball boys and members of the Brindle Brass Band; Where are they now?

Don’t get footballers (or indeed many non-footballers) named Bernard these days. He sounds like a character from The Bill.

Gossip and mystery? British daily newspapers are the way forward.

Kids should be paying no more than a fiver. Ultimately all us adults know they’ll soon be addicted to the product served up and over their lifetimes squander thousands of pounds and waste endless hours attending meaningless football matches.

Congratulations to @mixmastermichelle.bsky.social on being my first @bsky.app block for her inability to remain fully dressed whilst making cocktails.

Ignoring the PR fluff, surely a little is better than nothing? As for covering a round, it’d be soft drinks all round for those involved.

Anyone got anything interesting to say? I’ll accept all replies no matter how mundane or uninteresting they are. Pictures also welcome.

Much warmer on the Po south side. πŸ˜‰

Is that pitch north or south of the Po?

I’ll be disappointed if someone on here doesn’t put together a compilation of Gregg Wallace’s horribly contrived one word shouty responses to Masterchef competitors when they tell
him what they are cooking.

β€˜Gravy!’
β€˜Trifle!’
β€˜Sausages!’
β€˜Mushrooms!’
β€˜Cauliflower!’
