Songs about Brum

There aren't that many songs about Brum, but listening to the new Brumcast where Johnny Foreigner sing 'Sometimes, In The Bullring' had me a thinking – how many songs about (and named for a place in) Birmingham could I put together.

Thinking about putting together a real compilation album, but this interweb streaming mix – 8 songs, 8 different artists – might be a start. The comments here might be a good place to leave and fave Brum songs you could name… [link]

    It says they’re Belgian, would they be writing about Birmingham?
