Audience Reviews

David Edmiston's rating

Could appreciate the original film but was not totally seduced by the music until we saw these geniuses on Friday night. Virtuosity in each member of the band but mostly the sheer versatilty of great music, humour and great comic timing made this a great night out.  From someone who wanted to take in some stand-up (often see one you've seen em' all - sorry stand-up acts!) but gave in and went with his partner to keep her happy I was the guy who wanted to go back the following night.. Fabulous night out and such great value. for a show with a decent length

The PA was loud but mixing was perfect. You could hear every note, every single word.

Great facial expressions from the two leads - great artists all round.

Who should go see it.
If I (aging folkie/fogie) can enjoy this this much there can't  be many who could fail to enjoy it

BLUES BROTHERS BANNED

This is no mere tribute band - This is of the moment, music alive and kicking as it should be and of the very highest order. Jake and Elwood would be proud of these guys for they are carrying on where J&E left off - and some!!!  Could Britain at last be out of the musical doldrums? I now think so. My only regret is the limit of five stars. For this eleven piece superslick powerhouse I would award 55.

I urge everyone to see this phenominal show.

Who should go see it.
Why who else but.........You, me , them, everybody!!!!
