"Debris Road"[edit]

Can anyone find a reference for this Ocean Colour Scene song truly being about a road in Ladywood? I tried doing a Google search for an interview or even a review about the song but haven't come up with anything yet. -Eekerz 23:26, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Meuross[edit]

I recenltly removed Birmingham Hotel by Reg Meuross because of concerns about notability, but it's been retuned. We don't have an article about Meuross, so there's no indication that either he or his song are notable.

As the person who put it in originally, and put it back in, I suggest you do a check on Reg Mueross and you will see that he is probably one of the leading UK folk singer song writers and no I haven't yet got around to putting a page up for him. You would also know that he actually mentions in his shows that he wrote this song about Birmingham England because he discovered there were so many songs about Birmingham Alabama

If you wish to restore something removed for notability concerns, then it is you, not I, who should demonstrate that notability, by citing verifiable third-party sources. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 16:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

awful![edit]

why have all the songs that mention B'ham been removed, only to be replaced with a bunch of songs that aren't even about the English B'ham?!!? I will improve this article when I have time; at the moment it's not even worth keeping as an article. Sdrawkcab (talk) 03:08, 28 January 2011 (UTC)sdrawkcab[reply]

update[edit]

I've updated this page, removing the Alabama songs and re-adding the old songs. Most other songs pages include all songs that mention their town. Sdrawkcab (talk) 10:14, 19 February 2011 (UTC)sdrawkcab[reply]

NB: have updated page now Sdrawkcab

"About Birmingham"[edit]

Yes, these songs mention Birmingham. But how many, if any, of them are "about Birmingham"? Martinevans123 (talk) 14:30, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
