[peel] Re: Mother's Club, Birmingham

[Eddie Duffy]

The site of Mothers now the top floor of two very nondescript shops. And 
if you know Erdington, you'll know it's hardly a rock 'n roll Mecca 
these days. In fact, the High Street is only "the place to be" if you 
happen to be a fan of pound shops and Cash Converters. So it was the 
ideal location for that TV series 'Skint'.

Right opposite the old Mothers is The Roebuck, where Jasper Carrott 
recorded one of his live albums. The Roebuck's client�le these days 
comprises unshaven hardcore dunks with several teeth missing. (Insert 
obligatory "and the men aren't much better" punchline here.)

Erdington, there.
