The
Chicago Hit Squad featuring Terry Nash From ITV's "STARS IN THEIR
EYES"
are the definitive Blues Brothers Tribute Act.
Here, Terry augments his vocal range, style and power, and physical appearance to that of either John Bellushi from the original film (1980), or of John Goodman from the sequel
The Blues Brothers 2000. Observing the desire amongst many audience members at his Meet Loaf tributes to dance and carry on partying, Terry began to experiment with alternatives
to extend the final sets in his shows to accommodate this. With only ‘106 miles to Chicago’ Rock London, when it was ‘dark’ and he was ‘wearing sunglasses’, Terry donned the black suit and Trilby, and Jake Blues 2 was born. He searched high and low ‘…on a mission from God’ for the ‘lost brother’ “Elwood”, whom he found in John Iles, an entertainer in his own right who had recently returned from a ‘tour of Europe, Scandinavia and the sub-continent.’ Between them in 1997 they formed the CHICAGO HIT SQUAD; a truly energetic and vocally
authentic tribute to the Blues Brothers. In recent times, guest vocalists have joined the line-up to accommodate the logistics of extensive touring: John Pease, a superb vocal impressionist who has played “Elwood Blues” in the USA and Canada, and Hugh Budden - ex The Producers band, voted “Blues Band of the Year” three times running by the readers of Blueprint Magazine, who brings his “No 1” harmonica playing skills to the line-up.This show combines the very, very best of The Blues Brothers extensive catalogue from both films, and albums such as A Briefcase full of Blues. Whichever ‘brother’ Terry performs with, the aims of the show are; to start the party with a bang, get the audience singing along and ultimately dancing the night away to:
*
GIMME SOME LOVING * RAW HIDE *
* MINNIE THE MOOCHER * STAND BY YOUR MAN *
* SOUL MAN * 6345789 * MIDNIGHT HOUR * MUSTANG SALLY * I FEEL GOOD *
* DO YOU LOVE ME? *
* EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEBODY * SWEET HOME CHICAGO *
and many more!!
To compliment the duo, the option of a live band was felt to be
essential. The best of South Coast professional musicians were selected. Members include; Band Leader Tim Wedlake (lead
guitar) who has played all over Europe with Jimmy Page and
Robert Plant and supported Oasis on tour, Paul Gill (drums) -
ex Mott the Hoople, Dexy’s Midnight Runners and Alvin Stardust tours, Martin Holloway (bass guitar) who has played in theatre and music venues in Blues Brothers productions across the world, Bobby Burke (keyboards) who has toured with Robbie Williams and The Verve, having also played in West End Theatre
productions of The Blues Brothers and The Rocky Horror Show. Furthermore, within the last two years, two Sexy Soul Sisters have been recruited as an optional addition to the line-up, as have fully costumed (or if required, scantily clad!!) female dancers.
Available as Self-Contained Duo and if required Full LIVE BAND
