Midweek Snobbery

New live music evenings for up-and-coming artists at Snobs in Birmingham.

Snobs nightclub on Broad Street in Birmingham is launching a new live music event to host up-and-coming local artists.

Snobs Plugged In starts at 8pm on Wednesday 30th October and will be sponsored by Beavertown Brewery, with free Neck Oil beer for the first 100 fans and merchandise prizes all night. The new live music evening is the latest development that Snobs has launched since moving into its new premises at Cumberland House at 200 Broad Street earlier this year.

The Plugged In events will run monthly and come on top of Snobs’ regular live music nights, with more established acts at Henry’s Blueshouse every Tuesday, and Birmingham Rocks every Sunday. Wayne Tracey, the owner of Snobs, said: “Over the years, a number of bands and artists have joined us at Snobs, either to let their hair down or more formally for work, such as The Clause filming a music video with us.

“We’re now going back to our musical roots and, with some help from our friends over at Beavertown, launching Snobs Plugged in, a monthly live music event hosting local bands. This is in addition to the great work that promoter Jim Simpson at Big Bear Music organises for us on other nights with more established acts. Snobs Plugged In will see us once a month focusing on current up-and-coming artists, working hard to give them a home to show Birmingham their talent.”

The first Snobs Plugged In event on Wednesday 30th October will see the doors open at 8pm for a trio of live music performances from Jazzcat at 8.30pm, then Kate B’mand at 9.15pm and finally from Soul Love at 10pm. The live music will be followed by The Clause DJ set hosted by Snobs Wednesday later that evening. Tickets for Plugged In are free and include a free ticket to Snobs Wednesday afterwards.

Brian Hughes, chairman of Westside BID, said: “We’re so pleased to see how quickly Snobs has settled into its new home on Broad Street. It’s not only a tremendous nightclub but is also quickly getting known as the best place for live music. We can’t wait to see the new acts every month at Snobs Plugged In.”
