40th Anniversary of The Blues Brothers Film

Forty years ago (to the day), a film was released and a cult started that changed soul & blues music forever…along with James Belushi & Dan Aykroyd, James Brown, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and John Lee Hooker, brought to the screen an all singing and dancing classic. MEMO will be celebrating the 40-year anniversary by screening the film followed by a cracking set by ‘Briefcase Full of Blues’ 11-piece Big Band. The best dressed will win a prize to be judged by Jake & Elwood. There are 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses”

After watching the film on the big screen with soundtrack pumping through our house PA, “Briefcase Full of Blues”, 11-piece big band will follow performing all the classic hits, plus many more of Jake & Elwood’s famous songs.

Be sure to dress up and not miss this night of nights.
