Barbarella's was a nightclub in the centre of Birmingham, UK. The name of the club was taken from the film Barbarella (1968).
This club was one of Eddie Fewtrell's clubs.[1] Fewtrell promoted known rock bands that time, such as AC/DC, Dire Straits, Queen, Sex Pistols, The Clash.
Duran Duran's drummer Roger Taylor played there with punk bands in 1970s.
Both The Prefects and The Photos recorded a song called Barbarella's, the latter mourning the turning of the club into another disco.
