The Moody Blues, although Justin Hayward is actually from Swindon, Wilts.!!

Also music presenter Cat Deeley is from Sutton Coldfield, just north of Birmingham. It is her birthday tomorrow so happy birthday Cat!

Still some great up coming bands coming out from here, there's music studios/colleges/museums all over this gaff , Anyone that plays the NEC..sorry 'LG Arena'/NIA/Clubs on their tour or something usually love coming down here.

All you hear about in the media though is Madchester or Manchester when it really doesn't have a shade on the bands and artists that Birmingham and The Black Country have produced. (All due respect)
