The Blues Brothers – Live: 4 star review by Frodo Allan

It’s a pretty short drive to Stockbridge, I’ve got a full tank of gas, no cigarettes whatsoever, it’s dark... and I’m wearing sunglasses. Hit it.

They may not be on a mission from God, but it was definitely heavenly.

After I take my sunglasses off (safe driving, y’know), I make it safely to C Scala where the joint is rocking. Tribute shows can be a bit hit or miss but The Blues Brothers - Live is performed with such panache and professionalism that it’s likely as close as I’ll ever get to experiencing Jake, Elwood and their supergroup, The Blues Brothers Band.

All the hits that you want to hear are there and our two leads are perfectly in character. The band is spectacular – although a little swamped by the scale of the venue – but the energy is kept up throughout and they do a great job of filling the space. The audience is packed out with fans that want to dance along from the opening number to the excellent finale that literally has us dancing in the aisles.

This is the official Blues Brothers tribute approved by both John Belushi’s estate and Dan Aykroyd so it’s fair to expect a top notch show; Blues Brothers - Live delivers in spades. They may not be on a mission from God, but it was definitely heavenly.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
