- If you're a fan of Duran Duran or the new Romantics era chances are you've heard of the Rum Runner club. The Rum Runner is referred to as the legendary Rum Runner and it was created by Paul and Michael Berrow in Birmingham in the mid-60s and by the early' 70s their house band was Black Sabbath.
A few weeks ago I was down in Birmingham for work and I wondered exactly where the Rum Runner would have been in relation to where I was and it ended up being across the road.

Nice video, my sisters were regulars there in the 70s and onwards.They knew the Berrows and Duran Duran.
Now you're talking! I'll bet they had some fantastic memories of the time.
Hello Elaine! As already mentioned before, I didn't know The Rum Runner at all until you named this club. However, it really has a very interesting story.😯😃 Big names emerged, but somehow that wasn't really made public at the time. Or maybe I just didn't notice that in my small provincial hometown.😒 Anyway, I never knew much about many musicians and bands - like Duran Duran in this case. Of course I knew this or that song from the radio. But shame on me I have to admit that I was rarely directly interested in the musicians/bands, I never collected records, and from the mid-80s onwards I preferred to spend my pocket money on my new hobby at the time, which I still pursue today...😇 It's interesting that you mention that many musicians couldn't do anything with the emerging videos - 1979 The Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star".😁 In our family we hardly watched any music videos on TV, my parents didn't have much to do with MTV (nor did their German "competitor" VIVA), nor did I. I still haven't seen many of the original videos...🙄 I did listen to the radio a lot from the about the early 80s onwards (the time when I got the first radio of my own), but often more casually. At some point I was able to do homework or study for school better with my radio on in the background, and this continued until the end of my apprenticeship (and actually beyond). However, this has now completely reversed. The fact that I don't actually listen to the radio anymore and prefer to be left alone when I'm doing delicate and tricky things is another story... But nowadays we have internet.😎 Every now and then I come across a piece of music from my youth that I have almost forgotten and that I really liked back then. Of course I can now search and find a lot of it on the internet, which has advantages over before.🤓 But sometimes I also realize what I've missed over those younger years...😶 Many thanks for this video and all the information, a lot of this is not mentioned in Wikipedia.😁 Have a great time and take care! Cheers - Ralf🍀👋🏻
I know a lot of people who can't bear the sound of anything when they're concentrating on work, so you're definitely not alone! I really enjoy your take on these subjects and I seem to have had the opposite experience in growing up - lots of tv and music everywhere clearly had an influence on me 😃. It's a nice trip down memory lane when a song provokes a memory in you and I'm intrigued to hear in future videos which bands or songs might have had an influence on your taste (when you hear songs you remember liking originally). Glad you found this interesting & look forward to hearing from you! 😁
Once again I'm very late, I apologize🙏🏻🙇🏻♂️ (I'm currently doing the math and thinking, I have one last chance to get back to "my" good old glass engraving, but the material/tools are insanely expensive, I I'm afraid it won't work again - but that doesn't belong here...). Yes, it's always interesting for me too what memories come up with some music.😏 But I'm not sure any music really influenced me. A lot has come and gone, my tastes have changed a bit from time to time (I shouldn't say it out loud, but "Woodpeckers from Space" by Video Kids is one of the few vinyl singles that I was very happy to buy back then🙈🤣). Well, let's wait and see what happens next here...😊🍀👋🏻
@@PolLight3000 Yet another string to your bow - glass engraving! I just searched on UA-cam for that song - it's peak 80s and I am loving it! 😆You've introduced me to music I'd not heard before and that's what I love about this platform. Looking forward to more new discoveries 👍
between the rum runner and blitz club id have rather hung out in the rum runner.
It seems more welcoming. I imagine Steve Strange would've been tough to get past at the Blitz Club door (we'd have to bring our A-Game outfits that night!)
@@PopMonkeyPodcast in that area where the blitz was u kinda had to be picky.there were many Ted boys around that could have caused trouble once on the inside.
@@shanehester5317 They don't tell you that in the documentaries! Rum Runner it is then 👍
