How it all started

Committed to the Blues Brothers was originally born in 2003 after Richard Alcock and Ritchie Hicks joined forces to put the songs of The Commitments to their Blues Brothers tribute. Fast-forward to 2017 and after thousands of shows the men joined forces with some of the finest musicians and vocalists in the South East, to produce this excellent stage show.

Since then, having gained critical acclaim around the UK, the show has developed in a trip along memory lane. The 2020 pandemic saw some minor changes to the line up with the talented Shaun taking the riegns from Ritchie for the roles of Deco and Jake in 2022.

Hear all the iconic songs from The Commitments and Blues Brothers films in two action-packed sets as this big-band style experience immerses you with the authentic sounds of soul, rhythm and blues; all backed up with stunning audio-visual displays and authentic vocals.
