Steve Ajao makes a welcome return to Joe Joe Jims on Thursday 12th September bringing his jazz Quartet for an evening of be-bop tinged classics.

Backed by drums, double bass and piano, the Steve Ajao Quartet are all highly experienced musicians who will be presenting two sets of bebop jazz. Although we don’t know the set Steve will choose for the gig, the Quartet have previously included Dizzy Gillespie’s bebop number ‘A Night in Tunisia’ to the ballad ‘The Things we did last summer’ and the bluesy inflections of Charlie Parker’s ‘Chi-Chi’ along with Dexter Gordon’s ‘Cheesecake’ … just to give you a flavour (no pun intended) of what to expect.

For blues-rock aficionados, Maz Mitrenko will need no introduction – but for the uninitiated, after many years working alongside the legendary Trevor Burton, guitarist/vocalist Maz formed The Maz Mitrenko Band in 2006 and they have gone from strength-to-strength, providing “a mixture of finely honed original songs alongside a range of classic blues and rock covers from the likes of Rory Gallagher and Jimi Hendrix”.

The Band, also featuring bassist Pete Vickers (Tony McPhee, Andy Hart) and drummer Phil Brittle (The Band Of Joy, Quill), are currently working on a fourth album for release in 2019 but are taking time-out for a few gigs and this will definitely be a show not to miss.

We are very excited to have secured the services of two stalwarts of the British R&B scene – two great voices, two great reputations – for a wonderful evening of acoustic blues, soul and good times, and no doubt a little humour.

Maggie Bell – Scotland’s Queen of Soul, founder member of Stone the Crows, later had an incredibly successful solo career on both sides of the Atlantic, now once again back on the music scene after a 20 year lay off. She was a resounding hit at the Led Zeppelin reunion concert in 2008.

Dave Kelly – London’s slide guitar king, having learned his trade in the backing bands of, and recording with, Son House, Howlin Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells to name but five blues legends, a founder member of The Blues Band, still wowing audiences after nearly 30 years.

This is no slick show wheeled out with any predictability. Indeed when Maggie and Dave take to the stage ‘anything can happen’ (and often does)!

The Delray Rockets are a three-piece Rockabilly band that deliver one hell of a live punch with their energetic, fast-paced show – “putting the ‘Rock’ into Rockabilly” – and we are delighted to welcome them back to Joe Joe Jims on Sunday 22nd September.

As the band themselves point out, “don’t be fooled by the onstage setup of a double bass, Gretsch guitar and stripped down drum kit, looks can be deceiving. Once the amps are flicked on and the first beat is struck, hold onto your hats cos’ you’re in for a hell of a ride.”

Whatever style of music floats your boat, we can guarantee you’ll have a job sitting still to the Delray Rockets and your foot will be tapping in no time … maybe even experiencing the undeniable urge to dance!

Wednesday 25th September sees the return to Joe Joe Jims of legendary singer-songwriter Dave Onions for what will be a great night of acoustic music.

Dave’s currently working as a solo acoustic player and performs live with both guitars and mandolins playing original music written by himself and his wife plus “a little frivolity/humour and a number of instrumentals” that also showcase his distinctive, percussive guitar style.

So, come along and enjoy an evening of Dave’s rootsy blend of folky blues (or bluesy folk … whichever you prefer!).
