We have been very fortunate to be able to do a job that we love, providing professional shows of which we are very proud, for many years now. Sadly, we have also had a number of bad experiences with regards to late cancellations and non payment. Consequently, we now look to take a 20% deposit with booking and the balance of payment on or by the day of the show, unless specifically agreed otherwise in writing. Bookings are subject to a signed contract.

About / Biography

106 Miles to Chicago is a full throttle, high octane Blues Brothers Tribute, blending the greatest songs from The Blues Brothers, Soul, Motown and Northern Soul to give you an outstanding evening of entertainment.
Now in its 3rd decade, the show can be supplied as a Duo with full playback, a stunning 4 piece act with live brass section or with the full 8 piece Live Showband! (we also supply a 10 piece Showband with the addition of 2 female vocalists). All options are available as a fully self contained show with P.A. and Lighting tailored to suit your venue, and to complete the ensemble, we can also supply you with a party DJ.

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.

If you book us to also DJ your event, please allow another half an hour to set up the DJ equipment.
