Anyone who saw Steve Ajao and his Blues Giants at Thimblemill Library during the Birmingham Jazz and Blues Festival a few months ago will want to be at The Silvershine Jazz Club at Corks next Thursday.

Steve has played Corks on lots of occasions – but usually in his other guise as a bebop saxophonist. This time, it's Ajao the Axeman who will be strutting his guitar blues, and as those who rocked along at the Library will know, he's something special and the man can play the blues!

The doors open at 8.30, and the Giants should be on around 9pm, and if there are a few people there, it will be a special night.
