The Moseley Folk Festival has been set for 1st - 2nd of September this year. Stick it in your diary now. You don't want to miss this.

After the success of the Birmingham Flickrmeets where photographers in the area get together to take photos and chat, there are plans to do one in the Black Country starting with a meet in Walsall on Feb 18th.

Cheeky Monkey Comedy Club runs regular events at the Station pub in Kings Heath. By all accounts it's an established and quality night out and only a fiver in.

Mullaney TV: This week Martin details the improvement to a local park.

A short BBC news item about police leafletting kerb crawlers reveals that Small Heath is "Birmingham's largest red light area" which is news to me. I thought it was along the Hagley Road in Edgbaston having previously been moved on from Balsall Heath after a campaign by the predominately Muslim community there.

There's a volunteer evening for the Moseley Festival on Tuesday 30th January at 8pm at the Epic Skatepark for anyone interested in organizing or helping out with events for this years festivities including the two day Music In The Park gig.

Things We Love is a new music fanzine that should be available in West Midlands venues soon.

Comic Strip is a club night at the Sunflower Lounge every five weeks on a Thurday. "DeeJay Ben Drummond transmits Bugged-Out sounds from the Mid-Late 60s. Psyche Rock, French Pop, Groovy Soundtracks & Library Music, Fuzzed-Up Garage & Freakbeat. A back drop of oil projections & handpicked Psychedelic Cinema create a party atmosphere to be enjoyed by all!" The next one is on Feb 22nd.

Three posts on Created in Birmingham, my other blog, that might be of interest.

• Plans to expand the Ikon Gallery into a new building housing a museum of modern art are intriguing.


• The Flatpack Film Festival starts on Feb 1st and has more events that you could possible conceive of. Looks to be really excellent.
