Moseley was left quaking in it’s collective boots two weeks ago, when it was announced that Beelzebub himself would be paying us a visit. The big guy had arranged to meet a local resident at Moseley crossroads at around midnight. The initiative, supported by Birmingham City Council under the New Deal is set to make the local man very rich indeed.
When interviewed he explained how the strange encounter was arranged. “Well I went to the job centre and told them I wanted to sing and play the guitar and make lots of money. They told me I could sell my soul in return for some musical ability.”
Even though it was arranged by the job centre the meeting nearly didn’t happen. The devil was told to meet outside the Hogshead pub and accidently went to Newhall Street in town. He told us after the deal was struck “I arrived early so I could get some food and then I noticed the reasonably priced beer, well one thing led to another and then someone pointed out I was in fact in town. Thank God for the 50 that’s all I can say.”
The deal was struck at around 12:30 so now one lucky resident can look forward to an eternity of purgatory. Though on the plus side we can all look forward to some top class music in Pat Kavanagh’s on a Tuesday night.
