When somewhere goes to such efforts to get their message heard it is always impressive. However Digbeth, in Birmingham has gone a little bit further and created a petition site aptly named ‘Keep Digbeth Vibrant…’ and their mission is to do just that inspiring. As you would expect from this indie quarter of the city their efforts are second to none and score top marks in the imagination stakes.

Keep Digbeth Vibrant is petitioning to save a local pub from having its famous outside music silenced. The Spotted Dog is a real community hub and the potential loss of the live music is causing great concern - understandably. However these locals are not ones to sit around feeling glum – oh no, they are taking action and getting themselves a lot of attention. They have re-created their own spoof of the Stella Artois Advert, and I think that their re-make came out really well considering that they used only a digital camera and ‘a few bottles of Keep Digbeth Noisy wine’ to create their masterpiece.

I was sure that I had even seen the original advert when Dan pointed this site out to me, but after watching the video, it was such good quality that it reminded me that I had seen the original (good filming skills). Digbeth has done a great job of catching people’s attention and their community’s passion is fantastic!

Enjoy!
