I seem to recall that the Yew Tree was a venue for a friday and sunday night dj night called Sabbath Rock. I attended up to about 1984 ish and I cant find out much about it now
It isnt listed on your site and Idont remember the DJ name- maybe someone knows.
Blimey, blast from my past. Used to do the Rio, the Costers, Mr Bills and the grapes. Following Tony Craig everywhere. What memories. Born and bred in Yardley. Used to have to get Tony a pint and a fat Cigar to play Urgent for us. Happy days.x
