THE CHICAGO Blues Brothers, following their massively successful international Sweet Home Chicago tour, are now returning to the UK with a brand-new action-packed show, and will be visiting Cheltenham Town Hall on Wednesday, September 16.
It was all the way back in 1978 that John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd (aka Joliet Jake Blues and Elwood J Blues) first unleashed the might that was to become The Blues Brothers on the NBC show ‘Saturday Night Live’ coast to coast in the United States of America. Did Belushi and Aykroyd realise they would initiate an abundance of folk wearing pork pie hats and dark glasses, all professing to be on a mission from God? Possibly… However what they did become were the ultimate ambassadors of the music they loved!
As well as featuring hits from both of The Blues Brothers movies including Everybody Needs Somebody, Raw Hide, Gimme Some Lovin, and Sweet Home Chicago, the show also includes unforgettable classics from James Brown, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Otis Reading, Cab ‘Minnie the Moocher’ Calloway and many more.
