SOUTH West favourites The Blues Others are heading to the Cheese and Grain on Friday 3rd November, bringing their unmistakable blues sound to Frome for the first time.
The 13-piece Bath band formed in 2008 and quickly become recognised as the number one Blues Brothers tribute band. They have since played prestigious venues in the south west, the UK and Europe but this November marks the band’s first time playing in Frome.
Blues Others frontmen, Mark and Steve said, “We are extremely proud to be one of the few Blues Brothers tribute acts in the country to pay homage to the film by faithfully reproducing all-time classics such as Everybody Needs Somebody, Soul Man, Gimme’ Some Lovin’, Shake a Tail Feather and Rawhide complete with a full horn section, driving rhythm section and backing singers.”
Everybody of a certain age remembers the lines, “It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, its dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses… Hit it!”, uttered by John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd as Jake and Elwood Blues in the 1980 all-time hit film The Blues Brothers. In addition to the blues and soul anthems you’d expect, there will also be floor-filling hits from the likes of The Commitments and Aretha Franklin.
The show is suitable for all the family and you are invited to come and shake your tail feather! Tickets are £17.50 advance (+ service charge) and are available from www.cheeseandgrain.com or the box office on 01373 455420.
