In 2025 B:Music joined forces with Birmingham Music Archive for an ambitious heritage project, Amplify Town Hall, which celebrated the past and supported the future of Birmingham’s oldest events venue.
At the heart of the project was the desire to compile a new and comprehensive archive that would showcase the venue’s unique heritage, sharing it with the public in a way that had never been possible before. Over 1,500 treasured items and memories were captured from music fans across the city, documenting decades of events and performances. A group of passionate volunteers painstakingly digitised and catalogued the materials.
The creation of this extensive digital archive was made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to collate and share the extraordinary history of the Town Hall, protecting these important items and stories for future generations.
