The launch day of the Birmingham Bullring Shopping Centre was a much anticipated event; which finally took place on 4th September 2003. It was really exciting as a host of different performers, Mardi Gras style, entertained visitors all around the venue. BJ witnessed the show in the company of Adanta, a London-based African dance performers, and sent in these pictures.
