A fun charity fundraising quiz night has been organised in support of charities nominated by Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi to take place on his birthday.
The event takes place in the heart of Aston at The Heart, 28 Grange Road on Friday 19th February 2016.
Tickets are £5 in advance from www.crossroadsofsabbath.com (£6 on the door) with all profits going to Macmillan Cancer Support and Wythall Animal Sanctuary.
A raffle with prizes donated by local businesses will also take place. Quiz questions will be a fun mix of general knowledge relating to the period 1948-1970 when members of Black Sabbath were growing up in the area. You don’t need to be a Black Sabbath expert to enjoy it. The music will be a mix of the influences that Sabbath drew on, those they influenced and, after a round of formal toasts, some loud and proud Black Sabbath tracks.
Crossroads of Sabbath is committed to bringing visitors from all over the world to experience Birmingham through its greatest story – that of Black Sabbath; a story that encompasses much more than music. It’s a story of post war Britain and its people, upheavals, triumphs and role in an uncertain world.
Crossroads of Sabbath tours of Aston take place on the third Saturday of the month during 2016.
Raffle prizes donated by local businesses include: A tour of Two Towers Brewery, A Milque & Muhle Record Shop t shirt, a family ticket for Think Tank, Brummagem magazines and diaries, a voucher for a private 2 hour recording session at Robanna’s Studios, a meal for two voucher from The Jam House, tickets for a gig at the Robin 2, Bilston and a framed original from Norman Hood Cartoons.
Further Sabbathology events coincide with the birthdays of the other members of the band at appropriate venues in Aston. A ‘Trophy’ has been produced and will be engraved with the winning team name at each Sabbathology event.
