Hi,
Sorry to put a damper on this but I'm not sure if they're including the NEC in the venues- they're mainly trying to promote the Broad St area Venues. Their web site says "The criteria for nomination is the star(s) must have made a recognisable impact in their specialist category, performed, played or attended in an official capacity, one of Birmingham's major venues, including the International Convention Centre (ICC), National Indoor Arena (NIA), Symphony Hall and Brindleyplace or be originally from the Midlands area."
Meat hasn't played at these venues only the NEC and the old Birmingham Odeon ( many moons ago!) & technically the NEC is in Solihull.
