Originally written by Jim Allen, Bob Smith, John Prince and Neil Burnett (The Pilgrim Folk Group) around 1967.

This version I probably did for fun in the late 1980s.

New Birmingham Blues

Don't You Worry2

A view on the way Birmingham city centre was changing in the mid to late 1960s from the perspective of a few teenagers who grew up in it and loved the place. It mentions some things that might have disappeared since, like the Bullring Centre, the Schweppes neon advertising and the Elmdon airport (now B'ham International) runway extension.

The teenagers were Bob Smith, John Prince, Jim Allen and Neil Burnett. This live recording is from the concert they gave at Yardley Grammar School in 1967 to raise money for the blind.


The picture is of the Old Crown, Deritend, the oldest building in Birmingham. The teenagers performed this song there every week as the Pilgrim Folk Four.
