Welcome to Season 548 Second City Songs
The past couple of weeks have seen athletes from all over the Globe gather in my old home town of Birmingham, England’s Second City, for the Commonwealth Games, although the games closed a few days ago. So a simple one this week, bring me songs from artists who hail from Birmingham ( this can also be any city or town in the world called Birmingham- even though I only know of my home town and the Alabama one), or songs that mention Birmingham or famous Brummies. Basically any song with a Birmingham connection is fine by me.
Originals are welcome, on any topic so long as it mentions Birmingham, or a person who hails from Brum, in the lyrics or title. Do with that information what you will.
Usual Season rules apply, ukulele main instrument, collabs welcome etc etc and so on. Oh, forgot to say, no song limit.
There might be a prize there might not.
As the late great Bamber Gascoigne might say, your starter for 10…., here’s a list of Brummie artists…

And don’t wander away from the Baggage Carousel yet as there’s a day or two left of Brian’s Season 547.
