Sunday XPress in Digbeth, Birmingham: April 30th 2pm


This is Jimmy Fantastik, performing at the Sunday XPress in Digbeth, Birmingham.

Yes, it's the fourth Sunday XPress this coming weekend at the Market Tavern in Digbeth, Birmingham. Not a venue for the shy or retiring, this one delivers Music, Poetry, Stories and Comedy in a boisterous and rollicking mixture that takes place upstairs in a corner pub near enough to the Bullring for you to be able to slip out and go shopping between sets!

This afternoon of Open Mic kicks off at 2pm but most people seemed to arrive last time nearer the 3pm mark, which is sensible as it's quite a long haul through to 6pm when it finishes. There are free roast potatoes on offer - and they are delicious! - and a different Guest MC every month.

Entry is free, the beer isn't, but there's plenty of parking; the Market Tavern is located in a sort of semi-industrial area and the streets are quite empty there, it being a Sunday afternoon.

If you want to know more, you can contact Lizzie on 0121 4713445, or just turn up on Sunday April 30th, clutching some poems or other offerings in your sweaty palm. The Market Tavern is on the corner of Birchall & Moseley Street, Digbeth.

The next Sunday XPress date after this will be 28th May.
