Birmingham: It's Not Shit - 50 Things That Delight About Brum (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

You know that Birmingham isn't shit. Sometimes, though, you can't articulate exactly why...

In this funny, revelatory and occasionally even nostalgic collection, the team behind Paradise Circus explore the places, people and Brummie ephemera that delight us about the second city. It lays out the ineffable reasons why we say 'Birmingham: it's not shit', and then effs them.

Meet at the ramp and Jon Bounds, Jon Hickman and Danny Smith will dally down Dale End and take you up The Ackers. Discover Aston Villa's sarcastic advertising hoarding, learn why Snobs could literally be magical, and dig up what might or might not be buried under Spaghetti Junction.

"If you think it's looking dark over Nechells Green and your face is as long as Livery Street and, if you can forgive me for getting all kippers and curtains, this book will hearten you." Stephen Duffy of The Lilac Time

"Birmingham is a mythical city, like Jerusalem once was before it became a place you could just go to. For me Birmingham has more in common with Camelot than it has with Coventry." Bill Drummond

Autorenporträt

Jon was voted the '14th Most Influential Person in the West Midlands' in 2008. Subsequently he has not been placed. He's been a football referee, venetian blind maker, cellar man, and a losing Labour council candidate: "No, no chance.

A complete no-hoper" said a spoilt ballot. Jon wrote and directed the first ever piece of drama performed on Twitter when he persuaded a cast including MPs and journalists to give over their timelines to perform Twitpanto. But all that is behind him.
