So glad you made it!

Hello to all and welcome to the all new blog site for the CBB’s .
I would like to start with 'what the hell are you doing here?' or 'once upon a time there was a man'…. but it’s been bloody well done to death!
In plain and simple terms, you are all very welcome to visit and read about the lunacy & shenanigans that we all get up to on the road, and from venue to venue.
Now, you might at this point think, ‘what the hell do I want to know what a Tandoori Tart and 8 aging punks & hippies get up to in theatres?’ And to that, I not only applaud you but also have no visible means of response!
However, as an active participant in on & off stage tomfoolery for some 12 years, and now in my official guise as - fanfare please- stage sweeper (no really, I need to make sure the stage is clean before the show goes on) I, with the rest of the reprobates, have experienced every single emotion known to mankind whilst spreading the word of The Chicago Blues Brothers all around Europe and I would not swap one moment of our lunacy for a ton of gold – what the hell am I saying!
By visiting this page regularly, you will be an accomplice to our experiences and, via the editorial talents of our G-string thrasher– Leigh O’Guitar– we will leave you in no doubt that the majority of the cast & crew need to be institutionalised.
A note to the cast, beware of the monthly caption competition! This features members of your beloved show in what might only be described as altruistic situations and positions…. enough said!
Contributions from you, our beloved readers, will also be included in the hallowed pages of this here blog – obviously once your piece has been thoroughly scrutinised and sanitised by the cast member to draw the shortest straw. Just send them in via the e-mail address on the 'profile' page and we'll do the rest!
And so, I gratefully hand over to Monsieur O’Guitar, his incomparable wit and his mighty quill to take control of these insertions and regular updates and look forward to encountering one or two of you at our forthcoming dates.

Finally, don’t forget, CBeeBies aren’t just for Christmas!

Cheers!

Pete Tobit
