The band and show are available to book for private events across the UK and the rest of the world. These include but are by no means limited to: weddings, corporate events, private parties, black-tie evenings, masonic ladies nights, birthdays, charity dinners, golf events, cruise ship fly-backs, festivals, theatre shows, clubs, pubs, holiday parks and any other event you can think of. You name it, we've played it!
We may not be the cheapest, but we believe that we are the very best at what we do having honed our craft and built our business and reputation over the past twenty years.
For private bookings we offer a choice of formats to suit events of any size and to accommodate all budgets. So whether you'd like to book Jake and Elwood as a duo for that extra special birthday surprise, or the full 11-piece showband for Glastonbury Festival - we can do it.

Our ever popular duo show has been the crux of our bookings since we first formed the band back in 2002. Bringing the party to you, this format is ideal for pubs, clubs, and all other events -in fact, we regularly perform as a duo in theatres and even at festivals.
The show is 100mph from start to finish and our characteristic banter, choreography and audience participation are guaranteed to make your event one that your guests will be talking about for many years to come.
Need a disco? We have it covered. For a small supplement you won't have to worry - we already have our PA and lights set up and ready to go, so why hire a DJ when we can do it for you?! We have a great selection of classic party songs for all generations at our fingertips, but equally we are happy to play your own playlist and choice of music should you prefer.

*playback = backing tracks
The 4-piece option is perfect for those who would like to retain the 'live band ' feel - -either you're after something a little more than the duo alone, or perhaps you're limited on space and need to find the perfect compromise. Either way, this is the ideal solution - all the feel of a full live band as our outstanding musicians will demonstrate, but at a more affordable budget!
The 4-piece option has proved a really popular choice throughout the years and has performed at many events including weddings and international shows in Dubai and Germany.
*playback = The 4-piece option uses custom backing tracks which omit the sax and guitar parts. These parts are played 100% live.

This is the small option for the big stage! The 6-piece lineup features Jake and Elwood, plus drums, guitar, keyboards and bass guitar. The brass parts are covered by the keyboards but there is absolutely no compromise on fun! You can expect the same, 100mph, fully interactive experience and some outstanding musicianshipo with a truly live feel. This option doesn't use any backing tracks whatsoever, we just emply some seriously good mujsicians to recreate the tunes made so famous by the likes of Donald 'Duck' Dunn, Steve 'The Colonel' Cropper, Willie 'Too-Big' Hall and Murphy Dunne. Our very own Jake and Elwood, as portrayed by Dave Wiggins and Christopher Parker, transform the music into a truly interactive experience; which is what sets us apart from other Blues Brothers (TM) tribute shows.

The 8-piece band is probably our most popular client choice - you can't beat the feel and sound of a live brass section, and it certainly adds that extra special something when our very own 'Mr Fabulous' belts out the opening of Minnie The Moocher on the trumpet. Often on sax you'll find none other than Sister Elizabeth - aka The Penguin - keeping the boys in order whilst simultaneously blowing out the big hitters such as Shake a Tailfeather and Flip, Flop and Fly! This format is suitable for larger events, theatres, festivals, weddings, corporate events and similar. We can offer the band fully self-contained where required, including a full lighting rig and PA with technician.

The full package is a spectacle to behold! The 11-piece showband is a full-blown reincarnation of the most memorable scenes from the original Blues Brothers (TM) movie, including a nostalgic journey through Bob's Country Country Bunker, to Aretha's (Mrs Matt 'guitar' Murphy) Soul Food Cafe on Maxwell Street with a quick pit-stop at Ray's Music Exchange along the way. Our very own Aretha Franklin Tribute belts out the huge hits including 'Think' and 'Respect' in a way that not many vocalists are capable of!
The 11-piece is the ideal family-friendly option for a festival band (particularly for a headline slot) or for a theatre show. We are currently programming theatre dates for 2023-4. That said, this format has been booked privately for corporate events, black-tie events, weddings and even lower key events - if we can, we will! The line-up of the 11-piece band consists of Jake, Elwood, Drums, Keys, trumpet, Sax, Trombone, 2 female vocalists (inc Aretha) and guitar. This package offers everything - the band, the show, the costumes, the characters, the interaction, the choreography, the comedy - you name it, this has it. For themed events we even have The Bluesmobile available!
