Hi guy's,

Just after a bit of local info from the past.

Does anyone remember the Mayfair suite in Birmingham (part of the old Bull Ring Just by New Street Station) in the 60's & 70's?? - I think it later changed names to Kinetic Circus.

It was used as a dance / live music venue - does anyone have any memories of seeing any gigs there?

The reason I'm asking is that it's now been converted to office space and the company I work for are taking it over early next year - and thought it would be interesting to find out who played there - so we have a bit of history behind the building.

I have info that the likes of Alice Cooper, AC/DC, The Buzzcocks, The Faces and Black Sabbath all played there - but what I'm trying to find is if Led Zeppelin ever played there (theres a bloke at work who swears he saw them) I only have info relating to Kinetic Circus for Led Zepp - and am not entirely sure if Kinetic Circus is the same place as the Mayfair Suite.

Sorry for the long post guy!!

Chris

Yes Led Zep were on I think it was 1971, they had just released the 4th album. The place was rammed, Planty had to stop the set halfway through because drummer John Bonham wanted to go for a wee . Great night .
