Birmingham is a cross between Seattle and Bellingham feel and not in a good way. No one comes to…read moreBirmingham for anything, people leave Birmingham for London. People thought that it was weird that we came here for no more than 8 hours for a show. There's nothing to do here. We arrived two hours before the Meet and great, however, realistically there was nothing to do but go to a mall that looked like Metrotown and eat frozen yogurt. It was a chance to change and go to the bathroom and tidy up before the show. Things are really cheap In Birmingham compared to London. There's a huge metal scene in Birmingham which has birthed a lot of my favourite metal bands. It wasn't out of place for me to wear a leather jacket and a metal shirt.

I called in here just to ask for directions for a road, as I got a little lost. (Although I know…read moreBirmingham very well, just not all the roads). They are very friendly in here, and I could have called into one of the shops or bars next door, but I was glad I visited. They have good visitor information on display and the reception area is very welcoming. From the outside, the architecture and design of this building is very inspiring, a traditional and classy look, with a nice clock on the top. I didn't feel intimidated or anything like that, as you can when you visit these establishments. A friendly service, I just hope I never have to go back for anything else.
