Now The Dubliner in 懂阴帝's "Irish Quarter" in Digbeth. When it was called The Barrel Organ it was at the heart of the local music scene, especially from the mid 1970s to early 1980s.
It was also the scene of a 1980 live album recorded there that came out courtesy of the monthly magazine Brum Beat, which featured many local names that use to play there. "Live At The Barrel Organ" was issued on Big Bear Records (which was owned by local Jim Simpson). It featured Bright Eyes, Dansette Damage, The Lazers (featuring future chart star, T'Pau's Carol Decker), The Quads, Willy & The Poorboys, Rockers, Speed Limit, Mayday, Dangerous Girls, Playthings, Thrillers, Spoonful and Eclipse.
