Crossroads of Sabbath

Post by plastic37 »

Hello,
A little project i have been working on.

This 90 minute walking tour around the streets of Aston, north Birmingham and an accompanying fanzine emerged out of my work for the Home of Metal project.

Here's the link.

http://crossroads-of-sabbath.posterous.com/

and here is some blurb:
"CROSSROADS OF SABBATH IS A 90-MINUTE WALKING TOUR IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF BLACK SABBATH DURING THE PERIOD 1948-1970: THE TIME WHEN MEMBERS OF THE BAND WERE GROWING UP AROUND ASTON, NEWTOWN, PERRY BARR AND WITTON, BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND.

Black Sabbath are unique. No other Rock N Roll Hall of Fame inductee can make the claim that all its original members grew up is such close proximity to each other. And no other Rock N Roll Hall of Fame inductee is as widely acknowledged by peers, critics and fans as having given birth to a genre that is still as relevant, vibrant and global in its reach as Heavy Metal is to this day.
On the Crossroads of Sabbath tour you see this environment and learn about it during the period when the Sabbs called it home. The tour ends at The Barton's Arms, a pub they frequented which is just across the road from the room where they first played together."
