Club we aim to bring you some of the best Jazz from the
West Midlands, the UK and overseas, whilst also using
our Jazz nights to bring on new talent from in and

At the Silvershine Jazz Club we are delighted to be welcoming a hot new talent to play with The Blue Notes. Classically trained on piano and flute, Alex now plays saxophone, clarinet and flute in her Jazz performances. Known for her versatility and open-minded attitude towards jazz, Alex enjoys performing a variety of genres from New Orleans to bebop, whilst, outside of Jazz she plays everything from Ska and Northern Soul to Prog Rock.
Alex has played with a lot of big names (Roy Williams, Bruce Adams, Enrico Tomasso, Gilad Atzmon...) and held the tenor sax chair in the Greater Manchester Jazz Orchestra last year.We think she will blend in perfectly with The Blue Notes.

Johnny Hoo, long-standing and much loved dummer of Andy Hamilton and the Blue Notes died on 5th April 2019 and was put to nrest in a wonderful and well attended send off on 3rd June. John played on both of Andys albums, Jamaica By Night and the classic Silvershine (alongside a galaxy of star names), best selling Jazz album of 1990. John’s wonderfully effervescent personality came through in his music as well as in everything else he did.
In recent years John has been fighting prostate cancer, but a late diagnosis meant the that it eventually got the better of him. During this period John launched and became the driving force behind...
...a campaign to raise awareness of prostate cancer among Afro-Caribbean males and encourage people to get tested. This campaign drew in Jazz musician, Courtney Pine and leading cancer specialist Professor Nick James.
The Voice newspaper published a couple of articles on the campaign:
