The meeting point is the big brass bull outside the Bullring shopping centre at 4am. Please be on time, and don’t forget your camera! We shall be joined by Birmingham: It’s Not Shit host Mr Jon Bounds who will be interviewing willing participants for his and Julia Gilbert’s radio show, The Big Paws, on...
