Bearwood Corks Club

Bearwood Corks Club is perhaps best known for it’s connections to the Birmingham jazz scene and in particular as the home venue of Andy Hamilton’s band the Blue Notes — Andy Hamilton sadly died recently but their website confirms that gigs will continue. It’s based on the main Bearwood Road High Street and served by the Number 11. Lots of incredible people have played here — perhaps most notably Soweto Kinch who is another Birmingham based musician doing rather lovely things at the moment is a member’s only (including the Hockley Flyover show) and they will also be running gigs as part of the Birmingham International Jazz and Blues festival in July. It is a member’s only social club so you may need to be signed in and the décor is perhaps a little faded but this is definitely a place to visit if you like jazz.
