Venturing onto the scene
1995
"After gay youth group on Saturdays, we used to go to Peacocks. This was opposite New Street Station where Debenhams in the new Bullring is now, next to a club called Tin Tins. Peacocks was dark and dim, it had a reputation as it was next to Tin Tins, it was not too well kept, a bit seedy. We used to take over the top floor. Route 2 was another venue used. Early evenings it was used by younger people and older men would loiter around. The boys felt safe when they were in a group."
