Their 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.
