The club, located in Kent Street, opened in 1969 and was a significant step forward for Birmingham’s gay community, who, until that time, lacked a venue that they could call their own. It operated as a members-only cooperative, working as a not for profit organisation which invested back into the venue and the local gay community. Following a period of recent cash flow difficulties, Nightingale entered administration.
The club will continue to operate during the marketing process, seeing a continuation of its Big Saturday Night Out, which, apart from attracting sell-out attendances, also features some of the best live acts available on the circuit today, including the likes of The Wanted, JLS, The Saturdays and this year’s X-Factor finalists.
Jon Patrick, Director and Head of Leisure at Christie + Co says: “Nightingale is an iconic nightspot in Birmingham which should attract a great deal of interest. We will be seeking to sell it as a going concern as soon as possible, in order for it to continue to make its own unique history.”
Ryan Grant, Partner and one of the Joint Administrators at Zolfo Cooper, adds: “Nightingale is a well established business with a loyal customer base and we are confident of finding a purchaser quickly. We are considering all possible options for the future of the business and we would welcome enquiries from any interested parties as soon as possible.”
