The initiative, supported by Birmingham City Council under the New Deal is set to make the local man very rich indeed.<\/p>\n<p>When interviewed he explained how the strange encounter was arranged. &#8220;Well I went to the job centre and told them I wanted to sing and play the guitar and make lots of money. They told me I could sell my soul in return for some musical ability.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even though it was arranged by the job centre the meeting nearly didn&#8217;t happen. The devil  was told to meet outside the Hogshead pub and accidently went to Newhall Street in town.

Thank God for the 50 that&#8217;s all I can say.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The deal was struck at around 12:30 so now one lucky resident can look forward to an eternity of purgatory.
