Henry’s Blueshouse originally saw light of day in the city centre back in 1968, presenting such bands as Status Quo, Ten Years After, Jethro Tull, Judas Priest, Rory Gallagher and Thin Lizzy in its small upstairs room, but Henry’s gained immortality when it became the first home of Black Sabbath.

When Henry’s Blueshouse re-opened after a short space of some fifty years, again in Birmingham Tuesdays Is Bluesdays, with leading local, UK, American and Italian blues attractions featuring every week.

Tony Iommi, guitar hero of Black Sabbath, said this week: “I’m so pleased that Henry’s Blueshouse reopened – good memories for me. Thanks Jim”.

Henry’s Blueshouse at The Bull’s Head on Bishopsgate Street opens every Tuesday from 7pm, with a live interview that is filmed for Youtube called Blues Talkin’, before the featured band hits at 8pm – and thanks to the support of Davenports brewery, admission is free.
