In this episode, I am joined by Dale Michelsohn who was a stage technician at The Birmingham Odeon from 1974 to 1988 when it stopped putting on live concerts.
The Birmingham Odeon was a major venue for rock concerts through the 1970s and 80s. I saw my first concert there when I was 15 which was Deep Purple. In this podcast, I talk to Dale about many of the bands that played there and what it was like to work behind the scenes.
Dale now lives in Stockholm where he works as a stage manager and also runs the Birmingham Odeon Memorial page on Facebook which is a great resource to share memories of concerts from this well-loved venue
A big thank you to my guest Dale Michelsohn for being on the show and to all our listeners.
