	Birmingham Six - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Birmingham 6 is also a Danish industrial music band, named after the Birmingham Six.
		The Birmingham bombings were attributed to the Provisional IRA, although the group denied this two days later (they eventually conceded that they were responsible).
		The devices were placed in two central Birmingham pubs: the Mulberry Bush (later renamed, then redeveloped in 2003 as a tourist information office), at the foot of the Rotunda, and the Tavern in the Town, a basement pub on New Street (later renamed the Yard of Ale).

		If we accept that in the case of the Birmingham Six and the Guildford Four that there are at least ten people, not all of them Irish, serving sentences in Britain for offences that they most manifestly did not commit, then a very serious matter of relationships between this country and Britain arises.
		If the six men win it, it will mean that the police were guilty of perjury, violence and threats, that the confessions were involuntary and were improperly admitted and that the convictions were erroneous.
