The award-winning spectacular is Europe’s
biggest and best-loved production of the
Blues Brothers.
The show is a high-octane, adrenaline-
pumping musical mash-up that presents
the best material from the original Blues
Brothers movies and is jam-packed full of
songs by legends such as Aretha Franklin,
James Brown, Otis Redding, Ray Charles and
Tina Turner. Capturing the sound, energy
and persona that propelled the film to a cult
status that still thrills audiences worldwide
today.
Back with a brand new production for 2017
with an all new elaborate set, the Chicago
Blues Brothers are taking you back to 1980
to finish the concert at the Palace ballroom
hotel. This show is a powerhouse two-hour
song-fest with over 40 hits performed live
on stage in the concert that never finished.

Counselled Out
28 OCT · 7.30PM · £10/£8
CUMNOCK TOWN HALL
The 10-piece revivalist soul band makes a
welcome return to Cumnock Town Hall
where it last appeared as guests of 60’s
legends, The Marmalade, 4 years ago. The
vocal powerhouse duo of Drew Robertson
and Katrina Fitzsimmons, combined with the
four-piece Reservoir Horns, is hard to beat
and the band is renowned for creating a
party atmosphere no matter where it plays.
Counselled Out was massive in Ayrshire in
the 1990’s and early 2000’s with their 1,000+
sell-out gigs at Kilmarnock’s Grand Hall
and they still hold the record for the most
attendees at a live music event at Glasgow’s
Renfrew Ferry.
Plus special guests (to be announced).
"Counselled Out - a tight and raunchy outfit
who play soul with attitude and R&B with a
cutting edge...” EVENING TIMES, GLASGOW
