We are trying to put a page together on the Birmingham Punk festival that took place at the "Barbarellas Night Club" on the August Bank Holliday of 1977.
It was rumoured that the whole festival was recorded by 'Phonogram Records' for a scheduled 14 track album release called "PUNK '77". As to this day, no recordings have surfaced but we have found out that the below bands were reported to have played.
