The Kings Theatre in Glasgow was transformed last night with
the arrival of the Blues Brothers, the Bluettes and the rest of the band.
Brad
Henshaw’s Jake was worthy of a failed ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ audition, but his
flicks, kicks and somersaults were hugely entertaining, although medically
worrying, and his soulful rendition of Joe Cocker’s ‘With a Little Help from my
Friends’ was uncanny.
Chris Chandler’s Elwood had his ‘briefcase full of blues’
and a harmonica which could melt tablet and included a vocally sumptuous
‘Under the Boardwalk’.
As for the Bluettes, they were scarily good, and dance? There
was a helluva lot going on under those sequins. And the music from the drums, two
guitars, one sax and one trumpet sounded a whole lot bigger – and nearly as
good as a BDA in high speed gurry mode. I wonder if I can get more tickets for
tonight?
