Is Ozzy laughing at you Toby?
I didn't realise that Brummie was a music genre....silly me!

Toby, the story of the Birmingham groups is a tad fluid. Apparently they would meet in cafes and hostelries post gig, and personnel could change rapidly.
The following will undoubtedly be of little use to you, but you mentioned ELO. Jeff Lynne was in The Idle Race before ELO, as was Steve Gibbons (best known for Tulane. ) and Roy Wood was in The Move and Wizzard.
Similar era, Rockin' Berries, Fortunes, Traffic ( thus Steve Winwood )and Spencer Davis Group.
The Moody Blues started in Erdington, near Birmingham, so that lets in Justin Hayward, and later Bluejays. Denny Laine was a Moody before ending up in Wings, and Patrick Moraz was at one point a member, which lets you sneak in Yes.
You mentioned the Ozzmeister, well in a similar vein City Boy, Judas Priest, Magnum, and Napalm Death,
Of course, you cannot ignore the archetypal Brummie band, Slade.
And to round it off randomly, Musical Youth, Altern-8, The Beat, Duran Duran, and Steel Pulse.
Newcastle bands? The one and only Lindisfarne, The Animals, Biryani Ferret, Dire Straits, Sting, Tygers of Pan Tang, and Lighthouse Family.
That should hold you for a night Toby.

Don't forget Geordie with Brian Johnson (pre AC/DC)
"Slade" born to be wild is a real thrash metal track.
"Slade" In like a shot from my gun is a bit naughty.

You obviously haven't listened to all the way through.
Unless you didn't listen to the Slade Alive album - Born to be wild ?

I think this is more death metal, I don't really know the difference I just enjoy both:
