The Rum Runner nightclub was opened on Broad Street, Birmingham in the city centre in 1964. It was demolished in 1987 to make way for the Hyatt Hotel. One of the first 'house' bands, playing the cover versions of the day, became Magnum featuring Bob Catley and Tony Clarkin. They left the club in 1975 to play their own material of melodic rock. Occasionally other live acts played such as Quill and Jigsaw. Regular late night clientele were Black Sabbath, Roy Wood, Bandylegs, Quartz and other notable Birmingham bands calling in after local gigs before going on to the legendary 'greasy spoon', across the road in Broad Street 'The Tow Rope'. Also there were many visits from actors and staff from the close by Central TV studios where Crossroads and The Golden Shot series were recorded. Distributed By Tetlow.
