“My daughter got me this for a Christmas present. When I heard it was a kind of tribute act and not a proper musical I was a bit skeptical but what a surprise, fantastic from start to finish so much more than I expected well done lads would Deffo recommend to others and would attend again. I even managed to get on the vid waving like a nutter. The songs were great the singing was great and the rendition of all I want for Christmas and respect by the girl singer was absolutely brilliant. Once again well done”

“‘The Chicago Blues Brothers are on a mission to make your Christmas start on a festive roller-coaster that will have you clapping until your hands hurt, singing until your voice is hoarse and dancing until your feet ache with an on-stage party you can’t afford to miss.’ What a fabulous entertaining show, featuring Chris Hindle – Joilet Jake Blues, Gareth Davey – Elwood Blues, not forgetting the soul sisters, and the rest of the band members On entering the theatre, we noticed that they had left some freebies out for the audience sat near to the stage, Santa hats, cd’s and some inflatable guitars. The stage was all set up looking very Christmassy with Christmas trees, snowballs, extra-large (Blues Brothers) snowmen placed either side of the stage and a large backdrop screen showing mini video clips and scenery to fit in with the show. The vocals from all were fantastic, the band featuring drums, guitars, keyboard, saxophone, trumpet and trombone sounded immense and loved that they were not just placed in the back ground but were included within the show. As well as the music, singing, and dancing there was the Blues Brothers cheeky banter comedy element. Had us crying with laughter. Right from the start they had the audience clapping, and singing ending not with just everyone up on their feet dancing but some fake snowball throwing and two extremely large inflatable balls thrown with in the crowd getting bopped and bounced around all adding to the fun and hype of the show. We would definitely go see one of there shows again. If you want to get into the Christmas spirit and you enjoy the blues, soul, Motown and funky classics then this is the show for you! Rating: 5/5”

A stunning two hour set of blues, Motown and soul music.
Jamie C booked Blues Brothers Live for their event
“A stunning two hour set of blues, Motown and soul music rocked the stage of the Bristol Hippodrome on Sunday 19 July 2015. Taking its groovy riffs and vibes of effortless cool from the 1980 movie The Blues Brothers, directed by John Landis and starring comedy actors Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, pork pie hats and shades were the du jour attire for much of the crowd, who were from the outset clearly in a rambunctious, boisterous mood to have a good time. The Blues Brothers themselves were given spirited, energetic reincarnations in the form of Chris Hindle as Jake and Gareth Davey as Elwood. Backed by a seven-piece live band and two singers, the evening was a relentless cavalcade of classic tunes including She Caught The Katy, Sweet Home Chicago, Minnie the Moocher, Everybody Needs Some Lovin', Jailhouse Rock and Shake a Tail Feather. This was a high-octane, adrenaline pumping musical mash-up and the songs were belted out with incredible emotion and passion. Also refreshing was the fact that each of the individual instrumentalists and singers were given their own opportunity to shine in the spotlight, showcasing their cracking vocal skills and musical barnstorming. The occasional bit of on-stage comedy banter and intermittent slapstick were hit-and-miss, but the audience interaction was a real hoot and got everyone standing up, grooving the groove and hitting those moves. My palms are still red raw and blistered from the majority of the evening which was spent clapping vigorously along with the band. The Chicago Blues Brothers has taken the iconic, cult icons of Jake and Elwood and jump-started it for a new generation with an energy that is indisputably infectious and a dazzling, riotous, exuberant spirit and heart that is impossible to resist. A vibrant, animated evening in the company of sensational performers lending their impeccable talents to the songs of Ray Charles, James Brown, Otis Reading, Aretha Franklin and a dizzying slew of legendary others. Overflowing with heart and brimming with soul (man). Without doubt, you'll want to shake your tail feather. 5/5 Reviewed by Jamie Caddick for The Bristol Website”
