After a gap of two years, the legendary Bavarian Blues Brothers return to Ireland and make their Drogheda debut at McHugh’s Barrel Venue, on Easter Sunday, 20th April. The band were very well received on their last Irish tour and since their first trip here in 2019, they have played storming shows to excited audiences in Galway, Cork, Limerick and other Irish cities.

The original Blues Brothers film is a 1980 American musical comedy starring John Belushi as "Joliet" Jake Blues and Dan Ackroyd as his brother Elwood, characters developed from the legendary American TV series, Saturday Night Live. It features musical numbers by singers such as Solomon Burke, Cab Calloway, Taj Mahal, Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker and others. 

Those who have seen the film will be familiar with a great night of dark suits, Ray-ban sunglasses and Fedora hats which recall previous Blues Brothers gatherings in legendary Drogheda venues like the Boxing Club, Fusion Niteclub and Walkers Hotel, back in the ‘80s and ‘90s.  Well, the wait is over, and the night everyone has been waiting for, the legendary Blues Brothers Night, is back up and running again.

Headlining the show at McHugh’s Barrel Venue are none other than Europe’s No. 1 Blues Brothers tribute band, the legendary “Bavarian Blues Brothers” from Bavaria in Germany.  Founded in 2004, the band have performed a multitude of shows around Germany, Austria and Switzerland, playing songs not only of the Blues Brothers but also from legends such as Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Commitments, and so on.

With eleven musicians on stage a unique high energy performance is guaranteed. The "Bavarian Blues Brothers" love the music they’re playing and that’s what people feel. When they start playing you can’t help but join in singing, clapping and dancing. Experience a vibrant soul show that generates enthusiasm and excitement like Jake and Elwood did in the famous movie - catch up with them, before the Gardai do!

Doors on Easter Sunday open at 8pm, the band will be on stage around about 9pm and tickets are available from the Ticketstop web-site.
