As you know, I pretty much missed out on the weekend, but thanks to the internet I get to see what happened all the same. I get to see pictures of pretty Irish dancers by Very Quiet via Created in Birmingham:
And I get to see the parade on YouTube.
The crowd awaits expectantly and here it comes! St Patrick on a bus:
St Patrick ditches his bus for a tractor:
How do the dancing girls curl their hair like that?:
Possibly the most bored looking carnival queens I’ve ever seen:
The idiot, bum-baring element, and probably the reason for the street drinking ban the Big Cat Group were so disappointed with. The Doyenne of Digbeth is not impressed with the King of Stourbridge:
These guys were probably some of the people who made Digbeth High street look like a zombie film set later that night. It was like 28 Days Later, with the infected blindly chasing after taxis.
Also check out Midge Diabolik’s Flickr set of the St PatROCKS stage on Bradford Street, which has some photos of The Destroyers in full force.
Happy St Patrick’s Day everyone!
