What's on in Birmingham

The Black Country sits on a patch of concrete that punches well above its weight for things to do without leaving the city limits. The Actress & Bishop has been hosting gigs since before most of us were born, while the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery keeps history interesting enough to stop you from checking your phone. Not bad for a Tuesday. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting at places like the Fox and Chance. The Missing Bar usually has a jazz session that sounds better than it looks on a poster, and the Sunflower Lounge often turns out to be exactly what you need after a long shift. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you're not stuck wandering around trying to find where the fun is happening today.
