Description: Was it only yesterday? Well, first of all you have to convince yourself that the seventies actually started over thirty years ago. Then you have to work out exactly what you were doing at the time. Personally, I have a big hole in my Birmingham-seventies-consciousness as Jo and I started the decade by getting married in Weston-Super-Mare and then, as a professional comedian, I appeared in long summer seasons in Blackpool, Weston, Bexhill-on-Sea and Shanklin, pantomimes, cabaret, television, radio and lengthy theatre tours all over this sceptred isle. As far as our city is concerned a lot of the rebuilding had been done but there was plenty still to do. Life was fast and constantly changing so let's rewind to the seventies to see if you can find the YOU that used to be.
