Did you attend gigs upstairs at the Mermaid, Stratford Road, Birmingham in the 1980s?
Did you swap tapes? Collect hand-drawn flyers? Spend £1.50 to see a whole day of bands?
We want to hear from you.
If you attended/organised/performed at gigs at The Mermaid, we’d love to talk to you about your memories of the venue, bands, audiences and the DIY, underground scene. These interviews will then inform a publication and podcast to celebrate this important chapter in music history.
