The All New Blues and Soul Revue professional live band line-up

Practical answers before you enquire

Live Band Booking Questions

Straight answers about prices, timings, production, travel, band formats and building the right experience for your event.

What is included when I book the show?

Your written quote and agreed booking terms set out the line-up, performance schedule and production for your event. The show combines Blues Brothers-inspired blues and soul music, character performances, comedy and audience participation. Confirm PA, lighting, venue access, travel and any optional after-show playlist or Bluesmobile appearance when planning the booking. Read how booking works and find technical documents.

Can we book you for a wedding, corporate event or festival?

Yes. The All New Blues and Soul Revue is available for wedding entertainment, corporate events and festivals, as well as theatres, private parties, pubs and clubs. The format and production are planned around the venue, audience and timings.

Where is the band based, and how far can you travel?

The band is based in Bedford, Bedfordshire and takes bookings throughout the UK and internationally. Travel is planned from Bedford and depends on the destination and line-up. Read about Bedford and Bedfordshire bookings or plan an international event.

Do you perform soul music as well as Blues Brothers material?

Yes. Blues, rhythm and blues and soul classics are part of the show, alongside the Jake and Elwood character performances. The larger showband includes additional featured vocals and an Aretha experience. Read about the band and its formats.

How much does the band cost?

Pricing depends on band size, date, event type, distance from Bedford, arrival time and any experience options. Use the online price estimator for an initial guide, then send the event details for a tailored written quote.

How long is the show?

The booking estimator allows approximately two hours for the live show and interval together. This is a planning allowance, not two uninterrupted hours of music. Performance length and set structure are agreed around the event; tell us your guest schedule, start time and required finish time when you enquire.

Which band size should we choose?

The Jake and Elwood duo uses professionally produced playback. The four-piece adds live saxophone and guitar over that foundation. The six-piece introduces a live rhythm-section production; the eight-piece adds live brass; and the 11-piece is the complete showband with expanded brass and vocals. Compare every format.

Do you provide PA and lighting?

PA and stage lighting can be provided for suitable UK bookings without a separate PA surcharge in the estimator. We can also work with a venue or production company system. International fly-in bookings normally require local PA, backline and drums.

Can you perform internationally?

Yes. The band has performed regularly in Germany, elsewhere in Europe and further afield. Travel, accommodation, local transport and technical provision are planned for each engagement. Read about international bookings.

Can you perform outdoors?

Yes, provided the organiser supplies a safe covered stage, weather protection, suitable power and appropriate sound facilities. Outdoor contingency arrangements should be agreed before the event.

Can we book the Bluesmobile?

Yes, for selected events. The 1974 Dodge Monaco replica is normally considered within approximately 100 miles of Bedford. Longer journeys or specialist transport are assessed individually. Explore the Bluesmobile.

What happens if a band member is ill?

The production uses experienced professional musicians and maintains a network of suitable deputies. Any unavoidable material change is managed and communicated professionally, with the priority of delivering the contracted performance.

Can we choose the set list?

You are welcome to share favourites and important exclusions. The final running order is designed around the booked production, audience and timings so the show keeps its pace and impact.

Can you provide music after the live show?

Yes. An optional playlist disco can continue through the existing PA and lighting after the live set. It is not presented as a separate DJ performance and is priced by the additional running time.
