106 Miles to Chicago DUO and DJ

Hi Andy
Thanks for such an amazing evening last night! You and Rob were absolutely brilliant , everyone had a fantastic night. I would recommend to anyone wanting a rocking party to book "106 Miles To Chicago" ..!

Ric, Julie, Hannah and Jamie

Second time round for 106 Miles to Chicago at Mill Green, and they were just as good as the first time! Professional, reliable and a Great show, and Andy DJ'd as well this time. Complete package! Will be booking again.

Thanks Andy, hope you weren’t too exhausted Sunday. You guys were amazing (you are obviously at the high end of professional) I have had very positive feedback from all the members who attended and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a very professional and entertaining show, complete with DJ.

Andy & Chris made our wedding evening a brilliant night that non of our guests will ever forget in a hurry. I would also recommend that you include the saxophones as they add something special to the show. Andy & Chris looked after our whole evening starting and ending with their amazing disco to get the party rocking before and after their show. They are unbelievably accommodating and will plan the evening with you to ensure that you have a great time.
Every single one of our guests thought that they were excellent, with many asking us how on earth we managed to find them. If you need first rate entertainment then you should certainly get in quick and book these guys before the secret is out and they become too busy. They drove all the way down to Hampshire from the Ipswich area for our wedding and we can't praise them enough.................................Thank you guys.

Wow - what a night :) Had 106 Miles to Madness do us a Blues Brothers and then a Madness set. Brilliant! All danced our feet off, and what a trip down memory lane! The guys DJ'd the party too and did a great job. Can't recommend them enough - Total entertainment.

Wow - what a night! Andy and Chris did an amazing job and got everyone up and dancing. For the first set, we had the Blues Brothers tribute and for the second set we had the Ska tribute - really took me back! Danced until my feet hurt but loved every second of it. And when they had finished singing, Andy DJ'd the rest of the night. Really excellent job Andy and Chris. Can highly recommend these guys. Very entertaining and very professional. Our party guests haven't stopped talking about what a great night they had and it made Hubby's Birthday. Thanks again.

We booked the 106 Miles to Chicago duo plus DJ act for my husband’s 50th birthday party 17th November 2018. We were totally delighted with everything from start to finish. Communication throughout the booking process was great – emails were responded to really quickly and everything was set out clearly. They responded quickly to any questions we had.
On the day the guys arrived in plenty of time to set up and were really friendly and professional. They got the party started quickly and were so energetic throughout the evening – we had so many comments from guests about how great the entertainment was. It really made the evening for us.
We can’t recommend 106 Miles to Chicago enough – a real crowd pleaser! Thanks for all your efforts on Saturday night!
Best wishes
Miranda and Stephen

Great night - thanks so much. It put us back in the map and our customers haven't stopped talking about it! We had new repeat customers come back last Saturday

Great night tonight at Mill Green Golf Club in Hertfordshire- great act! Thoroughly recommend them! Thanks for a great night guys - "giggles" x

Booked these guys for my Captains Dance at Nuneaton Golf Club last Saturday, absolutely brilliant night, if you’re looking for a great party atmosphere I can certainly recommend them

My new wife and I booked 106 miles to Chicago for our wedding. We were looking for a band with a set list of songs that people were going to know and dance to… and with 106 Miles to Chicago we got all that and more! Very professional, great interaction with the audience and a set list that kept us and our guests dancing and singing from the first song to the last. Andy finished off the evening with a DJ set that picked up exactly where the live performance finished, with everyone dancing and singing along until it was time to go home. 106 Miles to Chicago are excellent - They definitely helped make our day memorable. Richard and Louise Hill

Had 106 Miles to Chicago play our annual weekender. They are a very good energetic duo, bringing laughs and some great moves on the dance floor and the audience loved the interaction with them. Bognorphenia would happily book these guys again in the future as they are reliable, competent and great fun. We danced all night

Always loved the Blues Brothers, so hired 106 Miles to Chicago for my 40th. They were amazing, great vocals, dance routines and audience involvement, they got everyone going and up on the dance floor. My Dad even shook his tailfeather :) Andy and Chris DJ'd the party too, so worked out cheaper than if I'd hired a DJ as well, which I was planning on doing. Andy was great to deal with, easygoing and very professional (obviously knows his stuff). Very happy customer. Very happy to recommend 106 Miles to Chicago.

Lost count of the number of friends who have called to tell me that was the best party they've been to in years, and that the Blues Brothers tribute made it! Thanks guys - you made me look really good :) lol Seriously, I was really impressed with your professionalism, equipment set up and organisation, and the show itself was awesome. Great songs, great vocals and as Chris said, "we're here for a good time, not a long time" Well, a very good time was had by all. Would definitely 100% recommend 106 Miles to Chicago.

What a fantastic evening. 106 Miles to Chicago were Brilliant. Loved it.

We booked 106 Miles to Chicago DUO and DJ's for one of our Christmas parties (6 weeks of parties with a different theme for each) and it sold out quicker than all the others. I couldn't believe the gear that they bought with them. Most bands just turn up and play, but Andy and Chris bought backdrops, props, a DJ booth and lights and made it look brilliant! Our guests were up and dancing almost immediately, and stayed up and dancing all night! Never seen that before! A fantastic night and a brilliant act.

Andy and Chris did my partners 50th last year and were so good I booked them for my 50th. They were even better this time and they DJed the party too. Absolutely brilliant night. Looking forward to my next excuse to book them!

We had a fantastic night of entertainment by 106 Miles to Chicago. They are a two piece act full of energy, action packed, crowd partaking and great music all through out the evening. The dance floor was bursting to the tunes of Soul Motown, and the like and the floor was packed all night.
The evening went extremely well and even three weeks on, people are still talking about the entertainment, we will definitely recommend these guys for future functions.

106 Miles to Chicago Blues Brothers Tribute and 106 DJ's
Hi Andy. Big thanks to you and Chris for a brilliant night. You seem to have the balance dead right. Everyone had a great time and you will be highly recommended. Cheers. Rach and Al

Whether you are a Blues Brothers fan or not, these guys will give you a brilliant night's entertainment. Slick, polished and professional. They had all my guests up dancing and singing along, and had to do 3 encores! All that, and then they DJ'd the rest of the night too - can't fault them - excellent.

I wanted something different from our usual 'Dinner Dance' format for St Patrick's Night and 106 Miles to Chicago certainly didn't disappoint. From the first song to the last, Andy & Chris really got the place rocking. The dance-floor was packed all night and the feedback I've received from members has been universally positive. Great Night, great guys! If you're looking for a fun band for your function, look no further!

Andy and Chris made every effort to make the event a special one, nothing was too much trouble. The performance was outstanding, the brothers’ professionalism and enthusiasm had the whole place bouncing, making the whole event one to remember.

Communications with me was excellent, keeping me informed on any progress. Responses to any questions I had were mostly answered within the hour and was never longer than 24 hrs.

Overall a very professional, friendly and talented organisation.

I would definitely recommend 106 Miles to Chicago for any event, you will not be disappointed.

Been a Blues Brothers fan for years and had Andy and Chris play my 50th Birthday Party. They were absolutely brilliant - loved it! Thanks boys.

106 Miles to Chicago performed for my Husband's surprise 50th Birthday party and were amazing. So much fun, and had all the guests up dancing and doing the moves... and even singing! The 'stage' looked great too, with the american flags and pictures of the boys either side - Wife, Family and guests all very happy. Husband elated. Very successful night. Thank you Andy and Chris for making it such a good one!

Hi Andy,
A huge thank you to you and Chris for your fantastic performance last week.
Everyone had a great evening and enjoyed getting up on the dance floor!
We hope you enjoyed yourselves too!
Have a great weekend.
Best wishes,
Natalie

A great night!! Fantastic! Thank you so much Andy & Chris!

I wanted a Blues Tribute Band for my 50th birthday celebrations and my party theme was always going to be a Toga party. The film “Animal House” made a lasting impression at a young age. I searched online and found the group “106 miles to Chicago”, viewed the home page, read the reviews; I liked what I had seen and I decided to mail Andy. The whole experience has been totally flawless; any questions I had were answered within 24 hours by email and we did not verbally communicate or meet until the party. The guys turned up on set, on time, fixed up, dressed up and gave it their all from start to finish. Every party guest wanted to know who they were, where they were from and whether they were available in the future. Andy, Chris, the Sax players and the crew were fantastic and they made a memorable evening; everyone loved it and the event could not have gone better, I was totally thrilled. Can’t wait until my 60th……

Fantastic. Can't remember the last time I had so much fun, and actually danced all night! 106 Miles to Chicago are a brilliant act and get the whole audience involved and up on their feet. Visually and audibly superb - If you're looking for a full on night of non-stop entertainment, these guys are just the ticket.

Lucy and I wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you and the band for your excellent work at our wedding. Honestly, you were all amazing and even better than we were expecting. It was great to sit back at one point to see the whole room dancing to your music. Thank you! All our regards.

What an amazing duo these two are! Andy and Chris just performed a show for us on 30 April to a paying audience and there was not one person sitting down for most of the night. The music they performed was amazing along with their professionalism during the course of the night and I have to say, their choice of music when DJ'ing was absolutely brilliant. Took me back a few years to some great memories. Well done you guys, you're absolutely amazing and I'll be having you back again at some point soon!

These guys are absolutely amazing!! Andy and Chris performed at my Chicago Blues evening on 30 April and not a person was left sitting for the majority of the night. The music they performed, the way they interacted with the audience and the professionalism of these two is second to none. I would most definitely book them again with no hesitation and wish I could do a Blues Brothers night every month! If you're looking for this kind of act, then I really don't think you'd find much better than 106 Miles to Chicago.

What a fantastic night we had with 106 Miles to Chicago entertaining us all evening.
They created a fun, party atmosphere and integrated with the audience at all times, getting them singing, dancing and generally joining in.
We will definitely be booking them again – by popular demand!

Great night - u guys were so good... defo got 2 come back!!

Brilliant night at the legion last night. Can't wait for you to come back!

Was an absolutely brilliant night! Not an inch of space left on the dance floor with so many people up dancing! Thanks guys! Xx

Absolutely brilliant night at The Hilton, St Annes Manor with 106 miles to Chicago. Thanks boys. You gave us a fantastic evening. Hope you had fun too!

I would like to thank you for a brilliant Performance at our wedding blessing. The way you surprised my wife with your Blues Brothers routine was excellent and I would recommend you to anybody. Will be looking to book you again in the future.

Once again - thank you!

Brilliant! These guys really know how to entertain! Andy is polite, professional and easy to deal with, and then the show - wow! Full on, high energy, in your face Blues Brothers - everyone was up and dancing, and even on the stage singing with the boys - excellent! Can't recommend highly enough - will be booking Andy and Chris again without a doubt.

I can't believe that Malachy Salmon actually got up and danced -I haven't been away that long! Sure sign of a great band! Well done guys. Excellent.

The band was fantastic - you guys Rocked!

Hi guys, Just had to say thank you once again for your show on Saturday night you were so good and you made the party so much better than anything we had hoped for. All the guests loved you and they haven’t stopped telling us how good you were!! Have supplied a well earned review for you;

Having booked 106 Miles to Chicago for my wife's 50th birthday party we were looking forward to them getting our party going! They were so professional from their arrival and set up and when they started the party really got going. They were absolutely fantastic and they gave 100% and everyone loved them!! We would recommend them to everyone.

Thank you so much for making our party one of the best ever!

Alan & Pauly,

Once again many many thanks!

Hi Andy,

I wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the guys for an amazing night on saturday at Hamble River Sailing Club. You were extremely professional, both in the run up to our event and on the evening. Thank you for embracing our crazy theme (dress as a John) - the way you interacted with the crowd was really personal and went a long way towards creating such a brilliant and fun atmosphere. I can safely say that a good time was had by all and lots of our friends have remarked that you guys helped make the night. Thanks again and we'll be in touch next time we have a big birthday to celebrate!

Very professional act. We had the 4 piece with live sax and trumpet. Sounded great. Excellent night, and they even waited until the Rugby had finished before they started so we could watch the game! Dance floor packed, everyone danced their feet off. Couldn't ask for more.

I had this duo for my partners 50th on the 24/10/15. They were absolutely outstanding I would recommend them to anyone, great blokes who got everyone joining in, they made the night fantastic. If your looking for a group get these guys you will not be disappointed, they were brilliant.

We had Andy and Chris do a combination of their shows for our wedding. We had 'Those Singing Waiters' in the afternoon, which was hilarious and really got people in the mood. For the evening entertainment, we had a set of the Blues Brothers, which was slick and professional, and a set of 'That 80s Show' , which took us right back to our youth and was immensely entertaining. They provided the DJ service too! Everyone had a great time and commented on how amazing the entertainment was! First class - thank you so much - you made our day!

Thank you so much for your wonderful set - everyone remarked on how good you were and it really did make our Wedding day memorable. Never seen an act that worked so hard! You were amazing.

Outstanding!

Just a quick note to convey my thanks and gratitude for all your hard work and the amazing show you put on for my wedding. You really went 'above and beyond the call of duty' and made my special day even more special. Thank you so much.

Thank you both so much for the wonderful performance you gave at our party in the garden last Saturday. The music was great, good fun and hugely enjoyable. All feedback has been wholly complimentary!
Well done and thank you!

We were delighted to have a special secret act turn up for our daughters wedding at The Woolacombe Bay Hotel. Our future son-in-law mentioned about two days before the wedding that he would love a “Blues Brothers” tribute band for the wedding music, but knew he’d left it too late to book. We decided to try our hardest to accommodate this request. After contacting Chris from "Those Singing Waiters and 106 Miles to Chicago", we were delighted to find they could travel down to us for the day, and surprise the happy couple. They came into the afray, just as the desserts were being served, and everyone thought it was a couple of the hotel staff trying to entertain the wedding party off the cuff. But it soon became apparent that these two were very professional, and were extremely funny. The event got livelier later when in the second set, they took to the stage as the “Blues Brothers”, and our daughters were invited to do a turn, with “Shout” and “Rescue Me”. We have had a long association within the singing entertainment circuit, with two of our daughters doing solo performing, one of our son-in-laws playing guitar in a band and one of our relatives and a guest at the function is Benny Gallagher of “Gallagher and Lyle” fame. He agreed the afternoon and evening was a total success.
We wouldn’t hesitate to re-book this act in the future, when we’ve got over the shock of this years wedding!!

106 Miles to Chicago - what a great night!

Thank you - Brilliant evening. Gerry and myself really enjoyed the show - a very professional act, the venue was rocking and all our guests said you were great. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you.

Hope you got some well deserved R&R on Sunday! Thanks again for an absolutely wonderful night. Everyone had a great time. Hopefully we will get to do something together again in the not too distant future.

Fantastic performance tonight at Halesowen Town FC. We really enjoyed your act and would recommend you to anyone. Thank you.

Booked these guys for my Dads 50th Birthday and they were amazing! I'm not unfamiliar with booking entertainment as dealing with our Companies events is part of my job, but these guys were by far the easiest and most confidence inspiring I've ever dealt with. Their professionalism and obvious experience had me totally relaxed about my choice from the start, and I was expecting a really good show. They didn't disappoint! My dad and his guests were just blown away - Andy and Chris had them all singing along and doing the dance moves - just brilliant! I've already booked the Blues Brothers Duo for our Company Christmas party this year, and their 80's show for my Mums 50th next year! Highly recommended. Thanks again guys. Hooooowdeeee :)
