Bedford, MK41 0JS
The All New Blues and Soul Revue is a professional Blues Brothers tribute act established in Bedford in 2002, with over 1,500 performances across the UK, Europe and worldwide. The act brings the comedy, character and rhythm-and-blues energy of Jake and Elwood to events of every scale, from private parties and weddings to theatres, festivals and international engagements. Five scalable line-ups — duo to 11-piece showband — let bookers match the production precisely to their venue, audience size and budget.
Packages
- Duo — Price on application The smallest configuration, featuring Jake and Elwood with character, comedy, crowd interaction and the biggest Blues Brothers songs. This playback-led format prioritises minimal setup while maintaining full audience engagement, making it ideal for smaller spaces and events where a compact footprint is essential.
- 4-Piece Band — Price on application Adds live saxophone and guitar to the duo, delivering more musical punch and stage movement while retaining a fast, flexible setup. A strong balance between live instrumentation and practical logistics, well suited to mid-sized events and venues.
- 6-Piece Band — Price on application The step into genuine live-band energy, introducing rhythm-driven musicianship that feels fundamentally bigger, more spontaneous and more musical than the playback formats. Suited to larger events where a fuller live-band feel is required.
- 8-Piece Band — Price on application A premium full live-band option featuring live brass, a broader sound palette and greater stage presence, suited to major events and larger audiences. Expands significantly on the 6-piece with additional brass players and increased stage impact.
- 11-Piece Showband — Price on application The complete production — expanded brass, additional vocals, the Aretha experience and maximum headline scale. Described by the act as the full revue, not simply the eight-piece with three extra musicians, and suited to theatres, major festivals and headline corporate events.
