Illinois perform a musical tribute to the original 1980 cult classic movie:
'The Blues Brothers'
As well as performing all the big hit songs from the film, Illinois incorporate into their show, a variety of well-known soul classics and pop hits of the sixties era including James Brown, Sam & Dave, Wilson Picket, Eddie Floyd, Tommy James and Bruce Chanel to name but a few.
The combination of specially choreographed dancing, adapted from the original film to create that energetic 'Blues Brothers' atmosphere, along with great vocals, music, spectacular light show and slapstick comedy makes this show a great all round entertainment package for any type of venue, audience or occasion.
