PhotoTheir musicians and vocalists were recruited from the best soul, Motown, jazz and funk players in the business which is reflected in the bands live performances.

Past contracts and sponsors include, The Bulmers Cider Christmas Tour, A promotional two year tour for Southern Comfort , Carlsbro Sound, Heineken Big Top Tours, Apollo Theatres, RAF/Army UK and Europe, Appearances at all 1st Leisure Night Clubs, Euro 96, A ten date concert tour of Greece and in March 96 live in concert for the "100th Noel Edmonds House Party" going out to an audience of over 17 million viewers.

If you want to party seriously then this is the band for you with all the Blues Brothers hits, plus if required hits from Madness, Bad Manners, The Commitments and many other top named Soul & Motown Artistes.

We have seen other pretenders come and go with their tape backing and miming, but The Sounds of the Blues Brothers seven piece band is 100% LIVE, so experience the magic of Motown and the sensation of Soul as their contagious energy takes over the audience leaving them dancing from beginning to end.

SOUNDS OF THE
BLUES BROTHERS

 

PERSONNEL:

Richard Hill

Lead Vocalist.
One of the founder members of the band way back in 1988. Before joining, Richard was with Brian Poole & The Tremeloes where for a number of years he backed Brian on Bass Guitar and sang Lead Vocals on a number of tracks.

Fraser Cunningham

Lead / Rhythm Guitar & Backing Vocals.
Fraser's background with his degree in music and the performing arts proved to be the backbone of the band and his unique arrangements were to establish the band as simply the best in the music department.

Justin Dodsworth

Keys / Mouth Organ / Vocals.
Another founder member and a university graduate specialising in the piano / keyboards re-introduced the Hammond Organ to the band giving it the authentic sound of soul.

Andy Portas

Bass Guitar & Backing Vocals.
Andy is back after three years touring with the band Neverland who have been playing throughout Europe supporting top bands from around the world.

Nathan Bray

Trumpet & Vocals.
The youngest member of the band and probably the most accomplished, having won Junior Jazz Musician of Great Britain two years running. When we let him have a night off, he often guests for Sid Lawrence and some of the countries leading jazz outfits.

Ian Maclean

Saxophone & Vocals.
Ian is the philosopher of the outfit and along with his dry sense of humour always has a relevant message for the audience.
As well as the saxophone, Ian is an accomplished musician on Clarinet, Flute, Trumpet and Guitar.

Justin Monkton

Drums, Percussion & Vocals.
Justin is the newest member of the band and shows great enthusiasm and as a proven drummer and percussionist fitted in just right. Justin drives the band and after playing with Andy in Neverland, the pair of them keep the band in perfect time.
