    What a building. Sad part is, you can almost be sure that the pipe organ is one of its last type. They won't spend the time, money, or space on building anything like it again. The same sound effects can now be generated on a laptop computer. I can't play a musical instrument but I can appreciate the resources and effort that went into building and maintaining that pipe organ. Great explore. Thanks for taking us along with you for these things.

      At least they care more about history in the UK (but not enough apparently). In the US, we would take a wrecking ball to the Mona Lisa if it was in the way of a new fast food joint or apartment building for people with gov benifits. No body cares. All these people protesting to abort their children or protest for civil rights for terrorists in Palestine, but absolutely no one protesting to preserve history. A big chunk of the country is more worried about their new and bizarre selfish wants and needs, they never think of anyone else or the future for their children.

    I was fortunate enough to experience the Q-club in the mid to late nineties. The rave scene was massive at the time. I remember that they had the turntables on a huge platform that was suspend from the ceiling. There was also a scaffold platform in the middle of the main room, right where one of those wooden huts are in the vid where the lighting controller sat. One of my favourite memories is of me sat right at the top/back, completely wasted with friends, looking down on one of the most amazing light/laser shows ever. Was epic. ❤️

    This was an amazing explore for me - I spent most of my late teens early twenties here most weekends! Best times. Cubby hole at the beginning is where you left your coats. The big frames on the stairs had the headliners for the month advertised. I remember coming out 4am in the mornings and you could hear the call to prayer from the mosque all over the city, eerily beautiful. We would make our way to an abandoned warehouse just up from corporation street to carry on raving at the after party xxx

    So glad you explored this amazing building. Spent many weekends in the que club in the 90s. Quality venue for underground music. I've messaged many explorers including Sam and jess to get in here..spent many nights off my face In here with good music and good people. Till 6am There was no other venue like it. This video has allowed many memories to.come flooding back so for that I sincerly thank you Mathew 👊

    As you walked down the corridors to the main room all you could hear was the bass vibrating and rattling all the wooden door frames. Absolutely mind blowing walking into that room for the first time with all the strobes and laser lights and massive sound system stacked up at the sides of the pipe organ. ❤

  • @grahamfoster9404
    @grahamfoster9404 7 месяцев назад +9

    Bloody hell Matt that was a epic explore. You made a cracking job of that one !!
    That was so lucky taking those imodium before you went up that tower, you
    would surly have shite yourself at 56-27 when you opened that wooden door.
    I had to watch it three or four times. Epic epic epic. Thanks Matt take care and
    keep em coming.

    Qclub Birmingham, Flashback raves👌
    Soon as u walked in that main arena! Could hear & feel the vibe all us oldskool ravers know. Getting lost in corridors, £3 for an ice pole, bumping into fellow ravers u met last time u was there. Add on top the anticipation of waiting for your fav dj to don the main arena. Best times.

  • @BluenoseBeerReviews
    @BluenoseBeerReviews 7 месяцев назад +4

    I was hoping it was you who went in...saw some videos the other day somewhere. I went to the last Atomic Jam in there in 2012 just to experience the building...ended up loving Techno and well the rest is history. Went there again around 2014 and 2015 and only half the place was open. For me the best venue ever.

    @UseAnAdblocker 5 месяцев назад +3

    I fully expect you to come across a raver still lost and roaming the hallways. It was so easy to get turned around in there. Bear in mind you were seriously hammered trying t negotiate the stairways and that rabbit warren of backrooms and passageways.
    Birmingham has a whole subterranean network. That bank vault? It's also connected to the police station and both are connected to the crown court.

    What the clucking chicken, bloomin' heck guvnor, was all that! Such an impressive explore, well done guys. I wish I had the courage to do this, I practically fainted when you opened the "door" at the top of the ladders... Given how long it's been derelict I thought it would have accidentally, on purpose caught fire by now but fair play it looks like the block is being done up. There's a lot of real estate being left to rot in Birmingham at the moment, and it's great to have it recorded, thanks guys.

They are very sad individuals. But really it's free advertising for you & your channel. Please make more of these great videos :

    25:42 vividly recall sliding down that banister 06:00, sun blazing through the windows, birds tweeting away, end of the night, everyone still jostling, businessmen in their jags going to work on a Sunday morning scared shitless as 3500 ravers all emptied onto Corporation street! Mint! The memories!

  • @etdj909
    @etdj909 7 месяцев назад +2

    In my mind's eye I can still see Ginger Ben silhouetted and 'dancing' in the top left door (27min48) beyond the sound desk/lighting. Always looked like he was dancing to a different rhythm to everyone else. Back of the room was my fave spot for taking it all in. Green laser and strobes. Laser operators were always fully out of it - I think they got part paid in pills.

  • @dannyfletcher123

    Great explore! Sad to say it will all be torn down someday due to deterioration, too costly to fix such an obscure building. If everyone chipped in a pound or a dollar would that make you climb outside on the ledge or go up to the top of the tower? 😁
    The pigeon crap would be the thing to worry about, breathing it in or getting it all over your hands. Inside the metal ladder should be safer from erosion than if it was outside. 👍

    All the stuff that’s in use are separate buildings from the meeting hall. I think one is called the citadel. The terracotta building you thought was the council offices is the magistrate’s courts. When steelhouse lane police station was open there was a tunnel that went from the cell’s straight into the courts and up into court 1. The police cells are now the police museum
