Mothers

Mothers was a music venue located in a building on High Street with a stage for live performances. The room held several hundred spectators and specialized in rock and other popular music genres.

The venue was originally known as Carlton Ballroom and became an important performance location in the late 1960s. Between 1968 and 1971, it hosted several major music recordings by well-known bands.

The venue drew musicians from different genres and became known for presenting both local and touring acts. Bands like Deep Purple and Judas Priest performed here, contributing to the city's music scene.

The venue was located in the Erdington area of Birmingham and operated several evenings per week. Visitors should plan to arrive early since the limited capacity filled up quickly.

The building originally had a furniture shop on the ground floor with the music hall above it. This unusual combination made it a notable example of how spaces were repurposed in urban neighborhoods.
