Show Up. Play. Belong.

a room for music, built by the people in it.

What we do

Since 2017, NBHD has been supporting and championing Birmingham's grassroots music scene. Through open jams, live shows and creative projects, we create spaces where artists can perform, meet new collaborators and help push the city's music culture forward.

Our events

NBHD events are built around live music and real collaboration. From our open jam nights to curated shows and special one-off projects, we create space for musicians to step on stage, try things out and play with people they might never have met before. Every night is different — new sounds, new link-ups, and moments that only happen when the right people end up in the same room.

Our community

NBHD is where Birmingham's creatives collide. Musicians, rappers, singers, DJs, producers and artists all end up in the same room — and you never quite know who you might be standing next to. A future bandmate, a collaborator, or someone who ends up on your next track. A lot of the collaborations and projects in the scene today started with a simple conversation at NBHD.

a brum collectiveAboutNBHD

A Birmingham music collective started in 2017 to build the kind of nights we wanted to play at — open, loud, collaborative and rooted in the city. Eight years later, we're still doing exactly that.

Our Story

NBHD started in 2017 with a simple idea: Birmingham's grassroots musicians needed a room of their own. A regular night where you could turn up, plug in, play, and find the people you'd been looking for.

What began as a monthly open jam grew into a collective — running curated live shows, supporting artists with their first releases, and turning The Night Owl in Digbeth into a fixture on the city's music calendar.

We're not a label. We're not a promoter. We're the room.

The Night Owl

17–18 lower trinity st — digbeth, b9 4ag.

NBHD's home is The Night Owl in Digbeth — Birmingham's beloved Northern Soul & Motown venue. Low ceilings, sticky floors, and a soundsystem that earns its keep.
