Midnight City
Digbeth
Midnight City, was situated underneath
an even more famous venue, The Moat House
It attempted to provide bands on the same lines as
the famous Mother's with bands such as
The Who, Cream, Family
It staged allnighters, but was only open for a few months.
Here is a piece from
berniew
on the Birmingham History Forum
The problem was that it didn't have a drinks licence ,although the owner or his dad owned The Moat House which was directley above it. It seems that the club had a reputed drugs problem and the police took to waiting until the headline band opened up and raided the place ,this soon led to closure ,pity
I visited there a couple of times,
and as beniew said, it's a pity it didn't last longer
