Testimonials
The Birmingham Blues Brothers performed at The British Club Bahrain on 7th October 2004. The show was one of the best seen in Bahrain in a very long time. The guys were totally professional at all times and delivered not only an excellently put together show, but were also extremely entertaining. The entire audience participated in their show and their performance made the entire night very special and very memorable. Having booked many acts from the UK, The Birmingham Blues Brothers put in so much more effort and personality than any other performance I have seen. Their energy and enthusiasm far surpassed any expectations. I would highly recommend The Birmingham Blues Brothers and would happily book them again here in Bahrain.
Joanne Elkington, Operations Manager, The British Club, Bahrain
The Birmingham Blues Brothers have clearly given more thought and practiced a good deal more than most of those spoofing the now legendary film characters. The dance routines are slick, the singing sharp, and their timing was pretty much spot-on, the result being a guaranteed crowd-pleaser given the right type of venues. When they ask for audience participation, you would predict this act would have to fight audience members off with a stick.
Derek Smith, Band Showcase, Exmouth Pavilion
Jake and Elwood were funnier and more polished than many similar acts I have seen lately. Love the stunt with the chair guys. Brilliant. Energetic, and thoroughly entertaining. Anyone looking for a Blues Brothers act really should look no further in my view.
