Congratulations to civic sax-god Brian Travers – Birmingham It’s Not Shit’s 2009 Brummie of the Year. I spoke to him on our radio show The Big Paws and this is what he said: Brian Travers Brummie of the Year 2009 on The Big Paws UB40 / Brian Travers, originally uploaded by Sebastian Gerhard. See how the voting went…
With voting now open for Brummie of the Year we’re taking a look at all the candidates. Not blowing his own trumpet, it’s UB40′s saxophonist Brian Travers: UB40 / Brian Travers, originally uploaded by Sebastian Gerhard. Brian (or B-TUB as he might be known to Twitterers) is a founder member of UB40 and is still honking, squeaking and winking at the girls in the front row (that’s what all sax players do isn’t it?) some thirty years later. Not only that he’s still speaking up for Brum, and he’s been very vocal in the fight to save The Rainbow.
