songs of joy and tears of laughter

John Read has pointed us in the direction of a song called A Brummie I’m Proud To Be by Holly Tooze. It’s not every day you get to hear a song that namechecks Kings Heath dog track.

Looking for something that referenced Kings Heath dog track, which I’d never heard, of I found the Birmingham History webring which has got loads of great stuff including these pics of the building of the rotunda.
