Do you have old concert tickets, photos, autographs, or tour memorabilia from events at Town Hall?

We’re collating and expanding archives from around the city and beyond to preserve and share the rich musical history of this iconic venue - but we need your help!

Whether it’s a cherished photo, a signed programme, or a ticket stub from a night you’ll never forget, your memories matter. We are looking to preserve these items for years to come, where they will be accessible to be viewed and enjoyed from around the world.

“I’m thrilled that Birmingham Music Archive has been asked to support with this truly incredible project. We’re passionate about celebrating Town Hall’s wonderful heritage and protecting its future. Sadly, much of the material relating to the building’s past is currently at risk of being lost or forgotten. Very little is known or visible about the heritage of this very special venue and we want to change that.” Jez Collins, Founder and Director of Birmingham Music Archive
