Genuinely asking…

We’ve put together a retro event at the NEC in May and thought it would do alright. 80s/90s/00s vibes, arcade games, live stage stuff… basically a nostalgia overload for anyone who remembers life before WiFi.

There’s actually a solid line-up as well:

• Pat Sharp hosting (and doing a DJ set)
• Matt Goss performing
• Heather Locklear
• Jason Priestley & Gabrielle Carteris (90210)
• Holly Marie Combs & Brian Krause (Charmed)
• Leigh Francis, Toyah Wilcox, Chesney Hawkes, Nick Heyward
• Bobby G & Cheryl Baker from Bucks Fizz

And for reasons no one fully understands, we’ve also recreated the Fun House setup… which could either be incredible or absolute chaos. Possibly both.

But getting traction online? Feels like shouting into the void unless you’ve got a massive budget behind you.

Anyway, if this sounds like your kind of thing (or you just want something different to do), I’ve got a discount code:

No pressure. Just putting it out there.

Also genuinely curious… where do people actually find out about events in Birmingham these days? Or do we all just hear about things after they’ve already happened? 😅
