Midlands Music Network (MMN) was formed in 2006 by members of local band "James Deans Car", along with other musicians who had the idea of setting up a network for musicians and other live performers. This was to include a club evening at a local venue, meeting on a monthly basis.

The first venue chosen was the Merrivale on Langley/Smethwick border and the club was opened by well known Birmingham perfomer "Steve Gibbons".

Find out more about Steve Gibbons and his career.

Since then we have run club nights at the "Thimble Mill" pub in Smethwick before moving to our present location at "The Comedian, New Road, Tipton" run by our good friend and Australian comedian - Ray Crawford and his family.
The Comedian in Tipton
The club attracts performers from far and wide and has included poets,story tellers, folk and rock singers, with the only stipulation being that no performer can use backing tracks! We are always keen to give newcomers to the world of performance an opportunity to get on stage and try their hand in front of a real live audience - so even if you have never performed 'live' before but want to try your hand - just get in touch with us!
If you see yourself as simply an audience member you can use this website to find out more about our group and to keep in touch with our forthcoming events . If you are a new or upcoming local performer or are a member of a band that is just starting out you will find lots of useful advice and links on this site to help you on your way - try looking on our performers advice page to start with.
We are also always keen to hear from non-performers who want to be actively involved in the group - so please do get in touch!
We currently hold performance evenings on the first Wednesday of every month at the Comedian in Tipton (except in January and August) so please come along and join in the fun. We get going at about 8pm and go on until 11pm!

Here are our 2010 dates for "The Comedian" - put them on your calendar now and remember they all run from 8.00 p.m. to 11.00 p.m.
