Brother Andy
Andy cut his musical teeth at the tender age of 7, performing in Northern clubs with his little brother! Boasting a strong theatrical background, performing alongside the likes of Kate Winslet, Christian Bale and Claudie Blakely, music always remained his first love. Over the last 30 years he has performed in numerous Wedding, Function and Corporate Event covers bands and has appeared with the Sam Brown Band, Clarence Tex Walker (The Drifters), Oddjob, Jonny Bravo and as Frankenfurter in the Rocky Horror Show (with Richard O'Brien and Patricia Quinn) to name but a few. An accomplished Live Music Producer, DJ and Sound Engineer, Andy produced his first Blues Brothers tribute in 1993, and has continued his mission to spread Soul, Blues and Rhythm'n Blues to the masses ever since.
Brother Chris
Chris has been with the show from the very start and brings his experience as a professional musician along with a comedy background to the stage, offering a unique blend of performance and entertainment.
Chris started his career writing and playing original music before breaking in to the comedy scene, managing his own Comedy Club. Acting, Performing and Singing has always been at the forefront of his work and he has appeared in various C4 comedy shows (The Mogana Show, Greg Davies Man Down) and can also be seen in Hollywood blockbuster, Tom Cruise's, "Edge of Tomorrow" in which he featured in the worldwide trailer.
The Brothers like to keep busy and 'variety being the spice of life' - this brother is certainly full of "spice"!
Delivering hit after hit to keep everyone dancing, laughing and entertained throughout the show, he will be showing everyone the dance routines and getting them clapping and singing along to all those great tracks.

We can supply our own PA, lighting, backdrops and DJ equipment if required. All equipment carries a current PAT certificate and we have £10 Million Public Liability Insurance cover through the Musicians Union
For Duo performances, we will need parking for one van, a suitable electrical supply and secure changing area.
For larger shows, requirements will change on a show by show basis, so please contact us.
Set up time varies depending on PA/Lighting requirements. Generally, a duo with PA for an audience of up to 100 or so would take an hour to set up, for an audience of up to 350 would be around 2 hours, and a little more for an audience of up to 500. If you book us to also DJ your event, please allow another half an hour to set up the DJ equipment. If in doubt, please discuss your specific requirements with us - we always aim to be as flexible as possible and will do what we can to accommodate.
Performance is generally either a 1 hour set or 2 x 45 minute sets, although again, please discuss your specific requirements with us - nothing is set in stone and we are happy to work with you and be as flexible as we can.
