Members Cirrus Posted May 8, 2011 Members Share Posted May 8, 2011 I lived in erdington for a bit over two years. Not too pricey, not a great area but not bad and there are some nice bits. Also very close to the motorway - you're only ever a few mins from m6 j6. Oh, if you move to Birmingham, you have to come see my band. What's the job?

Joining the real world and getting a teaching job. Would love to come and see once i get sorted out that way I'm in Scarborough atm which is a musical wasteland...

Members andthenurse Posted May 9, 2011 Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 I worked in B'ham for years, and our bookshop used to deliver to most of the schools there. Still have friends there but I don't see as much of the city as I used to but I'd look at Moseley and Kings Heath, Bournville, Edgbaston, Harborne. Avoid Hockley, Handsworth, Balsall Heath, Yardley, Sheldon... I live down the coast from Scarborough and can't recall ever seeing bands there. However, the best deals I've ever had on gear were from Mancini's - Brian there is a top bloke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members joshp13589 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 9, 2011 Yeh i'm at the uni, well for the next month anyways, I have never been to Mancinis or even known of its existance (facepalm on that one...). Cheers for the advice guys looking at a few house in erdington this weekend when i'm going over to sort some stuff. Looking in stetchford too don't know if thats any good...?

I only went there a couple of times, but yeah he was a nice guy - both times he was in the corner setting up an electric, looking delighted.
