Last weekend i was one of the lucky people who managed to get tickets to Beyonce’s sell out Mrs Carter Tour in Birmingham with 3 of my friends. I have been to many music concerts but i can honestly say this has topped them all, she was fantastic! Her energy on stage is amazing, she really does give her all and i would jump at the chance to see her again on future tours.

The Day Bob Marley Walked Through Birmingham:
The pictures were taken by photographer Ian Dickson, who was sent by the NME to photograph the Wailers when they played the Odeon on July 19 1975.
He remembers: “We arrived at their hotel and introduced ourselves. There was a bit of a nervous atmosphere – after all, this was the early days of two cultures meeting through music but they were friendly and gave short answers to the questions and then invited us to the sound check at the Odeon Theatre in the city centre. ‘Great, where are the limousines?’ we said. The answer: ‘We got no limousines, we walk!’ so there they were, traipsing along a Birmingham street, dreadlocks flying, all carrying their own gear. I went on ahead to get this shot as they came down the side alley. There are policemen in the background as there had been a fatal stabbing at a reggae club the previous night and the law wasn’t taking any chances.”
Bob Marley and the Wailers played the Odeon in 1975 for the Natty Dread Tour and on June 22, 1976 for the Rastaman Vibration Tour. They also came to Birmingham on April 26, 1972 and in May 28, 1973.

During the last year of the First World War, on the night of 17/18 May, over 70 leading members of Sinn Fein were arrested under the terms of the Defence of the Realm Act.
