Good Beer Week 2016 Good Times Stream Act Focus: Briefcase Full Of Beers - Blues Brothers Show

Answered by: James Grim (Elwood) and Ben Wicks

What will make your set stand out from all of the rest on offer at Good Beer Week? Jake gets out of gaol on the monday. That gives us six days to put the band back together. We plan to save an orphanage and put on the best damn ten-piece blues extravaganza the Catfish has ever seen!

Will you only do your set on the day, or will you head out and check out what else is on offer during Good Beer Week? If so, what? Only place we tend to go after our show is straight back to gaol or falling alseep under the bar stools at Catfish!

If you could have any beer on your rider, what would you ask for and why? Our Blues Brothers spectacle will be soaked in any Cavalier Beer we can get our criminal paws on! For some reason this beer improves the sex appeal of every musician in this band by 35%!

Why do beer and music seem to go together so well? Blues and beers have always shared the same space. Whether gathering at juke joints of the '20s to the jive joints of today, one bourbon, and one scotch and one beer is all it takes to get the party dancing.

When and where can people catch your set at Good Beer Week? Briefcase Full of Beers will be unleashed at The Catfish, 14 May.
