Where to Go for the Best Live Music in Birmingham, Birmingham, England

Birmingham may not have the musical history of a city like Liverpool, spawned a whole scene like Manchester or produced a production line of great bands like Sheffield. But there’s no denying that we have our fair share of music royalty from right here in the Midlands. UB40. Duran Duran. ELO. Black Sabbath. The Streets. The Moody Blues. The Move. The Beat. The Spencer Davis Group. Musical Youth.

And we have our fair share of live music venues too, attracting tours by established music acts and top-notch tribute bands whilst also supporting local up-and-coming talent. Of course we have the big hitters. Two O2 Venues. The centrally located Arena Birmingham,and the Resorts World Arena out at the National Exhibition Centre. The wonderful Symphony Hall. But what if you want something a little more low-key? Something that won’t break the bank to see a good band and have a drink or two at the same time? One of my resolutions for 2019 is get out and see more live music so here are some of the best places to visit right here in Brum.

The Jam House manages to combine a bar and restaurant with a great live music venue. You can expect to find plenty of famous jazz and soul artists on the bill, as you’d expect from a venue which was conceived by Mr Hootenanny himself, Jools Holland. There are also nights dedicated to funk, gospel, blues and salsa with live bands providing the soundtrack if you want to boogie all night long! Familiar names appearing at the Jam House in 2019 include Alexander O’Neal, The Christians, Omar, Imagination and The Real Thing. ......
