WE FINISHED THE MONTH OFF WITH A BANG, WITH THE BEST DUO IN CLUBLAND, BROTHERHOOD. THE CLUB WAS FULL AND ANYONE WHO HAS SEEN THEM WILL KNOW WHY. EVERY SONG THEY SING THEY PUT EVERYTHING INTO IT, THIS TIME AROUND I THINK THEY DID MORE ACOUSTIC NUMBERS WHICH SOUND ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. MATT AND ANT REALLY KNOW HOW TO PUT A SHOW ON. WITH COVERS FROM THE KAISER CHEIFS TO BON JOVI AND EVERYTHING INBETWEEN THEY ARE GREAT, AND ALSO HAVE A FANTASTIC LIGHT SHOW. THEY ARE TWO OF THE GREATEST LADS YOU COULD MEET, THEY TAKE THE TIME TO GO OUT INTO THE AUDIENCE TO CHAT. I THINK THEY WILL BE BACK AT OUR CLUB SOMETIME, HOPEFULLY SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.

I AM SURE SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE WRITING A REVIEW TO GIVE THEIR VIEWS ON THE EVENT BROTHERHOOD ORGANISED AT BOOTHY'S ON WED 16 MAY, BUT HERE IS MINE ANYWAY. BRILLIANT, FANTASTIC, GREAT!!!
PEOPLE CAN SAY MANY THINGS ABOUT ANT & MATT BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PUTTING A SHOW ON, THEY DO IT, WITH BELLS ON!! I HAD NO IDEA WHEN WE FIRST TALKED BACK IN JANUARY ABOUT A LITTLE FAREWELL SHOW BEFORE THE BOYS LEFT FOR THE IBIZA TOUR THAT IT WOULD GROW INTO THE EXTRAVAGANZA THAT I WAS PRIVILEDGED TO WITNESS HERE AT BOOTHYS. ALL THE ACTS INVOLVED WORKED SO HARD. CAPRICORN, A YOUNG LIVELY 3 PIECE WERE FIRST ON THE BILL, WARMING THE AUDIENCE WITH THEIR ENTHUSIASM AND PROFESSIONALISM. MATT BYRNES WAS THE BEST ROBBIE WILLIAMS TRIBUTE I HAVE EVER SEEN AND IF YOU GO TO BLACKPOOL, CHECK HIM OUT IN THE LEGENDS SHOW. YES, HES A CHEEKY CHAPPY, BUT NO ONE DOING ROBBIE IS GOING TO BE A SHRINKING VIOLET NOW ARE THEY?
VERITY RUSHWORTH (THATS DONNA DINGLE TO US EMMERDALE FANS) WAS SIMPLY GREAT. NO AIRS OR GRACES, SHE MUCKED IN WITH EVERYONE ELSE AND WAS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR COMPARED TO SOME OF THE PRIMA DONNAS WE SEE ON TV. SHE SIGNED AUTOGRAPHS AND HAD HER PHOTO TAKEN WITH ANYONE WHO ASKED HER. SHE WORKED THE AUDIENCE WITH HER CHARM AND GIRL NEXT DOOR ATTITUDE.
NOW MY VIEWS ON THE STARS OF THE SHOW - BROTHERHOOD! IVE SAID IT BEFORE, BUT I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, GREAT, FANTASTIC, MARVELLOUS!! THE BOYS AND THEIR BAND PUT ON A GREAT SHOW. NOT THE DANCE SET THAT SOME WERE EXPECTING, BUT A ROCK SHOW THAT TOOK ANT & MATT BACK TO THEIR ROOTS. THE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION THE BOYS PUT INTO THIS EVENT HAD TO BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED. FROM THE STAGE ARRIVING ON TUESDAY MORNING TO THE LAST PIECE OF EQUIPMENT LEAVING THURSDAY NIGHT, NOT TO MENTION THE REHEARSALS IN THE MONTHS BEFORE, WAS ALL DONE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR AUDIENCE HAD A SHOW THAT THEY WILL REMEMBER, AND I AM SURE WE ALL WILL!! THANKS LADS FOR A GREAT NIGHT AND THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING BOOTHYS TO HOLD SUCH A BRILLIANT PARTY!

AS AN ENTERTAINER WITH OVER 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE I AM WRITING A REPORT ABOUT A SHOW I HAD THE PRIVILEDGE AND PLEASURE TO BE INVOLVED WITH ON WED 16 MAY WITH 2 GUYS I AM PROUD TO KNOW, ANT & MATT GREEN OF BROTHERHOOD. I BECAME AN AVID FAN OF THEIR RAW TALENT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND SINCE THEN HAVE BECOME A FIRM FRIEND AS WELL. TO ME THEY ARE SIMPLY THE MOST EXCITING ACT ON THE SCENE TODAY.
ANYWAY, ABOUT THE SHOW, THE VENUE WAS BOOTHYS AT MANSFIELD AND BY 7.15 OVER 200 EAGER CLUBBERS WERE SEATED AWAITING THE SHOW. THIS SHOW WAS BILLED AS THE SHOW OF THE YEAR, AND THERE WAS NO EXAGGERATION THERE. OUR HOST FOR THE EVENING WAS THE LOVELY VERITY RUSHWORTH WHO IS BETTER KNOWN AS DONNA IN EMMERDALE AND I MUST SAY WHAT A LOVELY AND SUPER LADY SHE IS. I RECKON SHE HAD PICTURES TAKEN WITH EVERYONE IN THE CLUB, SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS AS SHE HAD NEVER COMPARED BEFORE, BUT THAT WAS SOON CHANGED BY THE WELCOME SHE RECEIVED FROM THOSE PRESENT. THE FIRST ACT WAS 3 VERY TALENTED GIRLS FROM LEEDS CALLED CAPRICORN, GREAT HARMONIES AND PRESENTATION THROUGHOUT THEIR SET. FOLLOWING THEM WAS A GUY FROM BLACKPOOLS LEGENDS SHOW, MATT BYRNES A TASTE OF ROBBIE, AND HE WAS. REAL LOOK AND SOUND-ALIKE AND HE WOWED THE AUDIENCE WITH HIS TRIBUTE SHOW. AFTER A VERY SHORT INTERVAL WE WERE TREATED TO A VOCAL NUMBER FROM VERITY RUSHWORTH WITH MATT GREEN ACCOMPANYING ON GUITAR AND IT SHOWED WHAT A GOOD VOICE SHE HAS GOT TO ADD TO HER ACTING SKILLS THAT WE ALREADY KNEW ABOUT. THEN CAME THE BOYS THEMSELVES. WHAT WAS DOWN AS A 1 HOUR 10 MINUTE SET WAS NEARER 2 HOURS. THE ADULATION FROM THE AUDIENCE WAS COMPLETELY OVERPOWERING. I MUST ALSO MENTION THE BAND BEHIND BROTHERHOOD ON THE NIGHT, KEV BEAL, JAMIE THACKERAY, GRAHAM ALEXANDER & J.D HAMMOND AS THEY ARE 4 FABULOUS MUSICIANS WITH A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE. FINALLY I THANK BOOTYS PROPRIETORS JEFF & JENNY FOR THEIR HOSPITALITY, THANK GOD VARIETY IS STILL AVAILABLE IN OUR CLUBS.

THE 2 GUY DUO BROTHERHOOD PUT ON AN ABSOLUTLY SPELLBINDING SHOW. ANT & MATT ARE JUST ABOUT THE PERFECT COMBINATION AND THE SHOW HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. I AM FULL OF PRAISE FOR THIS ACT, FOR THE PROFESSIONALISM AND THE WAY THE SHOW IS PRESENTED. THERE CANNOT BE MANY BETTER MALE DUOS THAN THIS, THEY ARE AMAZING.

IT'S NOT VERY OFTEN THAT I PUT PEN TO PAPER, BUT I FELT IT WAS ONLY RIGHT TO MENTION THE EFFORTS OF A FANTASTIC DUO CALLED BROTHERHOOD WHO APPEARED HERE IN MARCH. THEY TOTALLY LIT THE PLACE UP WITH A SUPER ENERGETIC SHOW THAT HAD THE ENTIRE CLUB ON THEIR FEET AND ON THE DANCEFLOOR. THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF ACTS THAT WOULD MAKE ME GET ON THE PHONE TO OUR BOOKING AGENT THE VERY NEXT MORNING TO RE-BOOK THEM AGAIN LATER IN THE YEAR, BUT THESE TWO CERTAINLY DID. MY THANKS TO ANT & MATT FOR A BRILLIANT NIGHT. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEM I STRONGLY ADVISE YOU LOOK AT THERE ADVERTS IN THE ENTERAINER MAGAZINE OR CHECK OUT THEIR WEBSITE AND GET YOURSELF TO ONE OF THEIR SHOWS, I GUARANTEE YOU WILL ENJOY THEM.

ANT & MATT GREEN FROM THE DUO BROTHERHOOD ARE, IN MY OPINION, THE MOST EXCITING DUO AROUND IN THE U.K TODAY. HAVING SEEN THEM DURING THEIR IBIZA TOUR IN THE SUMMER OF 2006 AND AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES THESE LAST FEW WEEKS BACK HOME IN THE U.K, I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE THE RECEPTION THEY RECEIVE AS FAN ADULATION, SOMETHING LIKE THE TYPE OF RESPONSE USUALLY ONLY AFFORDED TO BIG ROCK STARS. LAST WEEK SOME FANS EVEN TRAVELLED ALL THE WAY FROM TORQUAY TO WATCH THEM PERFORM IN CHESTERFIELD. THE AMICABLE AND MODEST WAY THAT THE LADS MIX WITH THEIR AUDIENCE IS A CREDIT TO THEM AND GAINS THEM MORE FANS EVERY SHOW THEY PERFORM.

BROTHERHOOD - THE END OF SUMMER SHOW, THE GREAT NORTHERN, LANGLEY MILL, NOTTS.

AS AN OLD HAT IN CLUBLAND I WAS INVITED TO AN OUTDOOR GIG AT LANGLEY MILL ON TUESDAY 31ST AUGUST, SO I WENT ALONG TAKING MY BETTER HALF AND MY DAUGHTER. ON ARRIVAL I WAS PLEASENTLY SURPRISED TO FIND THE CAR PARK FULL OF PEOPLE. ONSTAGE WAS ANT & MATT, BETTER KNOWN TO CLUBLAND AS BROTHERHOOD. THEIR SONGS AND MOVEMENT DEFINATELY GOT THE YOUNGER GIRLS IN THE AUDIENCE SCREAMING AND SHOUTING, INCLUDING MY DAUGHTER. THEY DID A FULL NON-STOP TWO AND A HALF HOUR SHOW, PERFORMING ALL TYPES OF MUSIC TO SUIT ALL MUSICAL TASTES. THEY DID FOUR SONGS WITH ANT PLAYING ACOUSTIC GUITAR WITH MATT SINGING ALONG TO IT, THIS WAS REALLY TOP STUFF AND GOT THE CROWD SINGING AND SWAYING ALONG. ON FINISHING I HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO BOTH LADS, ANT TOLD ME THEY HAD RECORDED THREE CD'S, ONE OF ANT'S THAT SOLD 50 COPYS, YET THE OTHER TWO WERE A SELL OUT. FINALLY, ON A SERIOUS NOTE, I DON'T KNOW WHY THESE LADS HAVEN'T GOT A RECORD DEAL. THEY ARE SO TALENTED IN EVERY WAY, SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEM YET GO NOW BEFORE THEY GET TOOK OUT OF THE CLUB SCENE FOR A BIG RECORD DEAL!!!

BROTHERHOOD ARE TWO EXTREMELY TALENTED AND ENTHUSIASTIC ENTERTAINERS, THEY PERFORM A WARM AND GENUINELY ENTERTAINING ACT, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY HAVE QUALITIES OF WHICH A MAJORITY OF YOUNG ENTERTAINERS OF TODAY DO NOT POSSESS, IT IS CALLED COMMUNICATING TALENT. MIX THAT WITH BROTHERHOODS SELECTED PROGRAMME AND THE CHEMISTRY IS THERE FOR AN OUTSTANDING YOUNG ACT.

ANOTHER LOCAL ACT, THE HEANOR BASED TWO BOY DUO BROTHERHOOD CERTAINLY HAVE EVERYTHING GOING FOR THEM. THEY ARE HUGELY TALENTED AND PUT TOGETHER A GREAT PROGRAMME OF SONGS WHICH IS ENJOYED BY ONE AND ALL. ANT AND MATT ARE ALSO TWO LIVELY CHARACTERS AND I BELIEVE THEY WILL BECOME ONE OF THE HOTTEST ACTS ON THE CLUB CIRCUIT OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. THANKS FOR A TERRIFIC NIGHT LADS.
PAUL BARKER, THE ENTERTAINER & ALFRETON TOWN S.C.

WE HAVE ENTERTAINERS HERE ON WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAYS. THE ONLY ACT WORTHY OF A MENTION IN JANUARY WERE TWO YOUNG MEN CALLED BROTHERHOOD, WHO HAVE A LOT OF POTENTIAL, GOOD VOCALS, EXCELLENT STAGE PRESENTATION AND ARE CERTAINLY ONE DUO TO LOOK OUT FOR.
MICK BINGHAM, BASFORD HALL M.W.

SATURDAY, ANOTHER SUCCESS STORY FROM TWO FABULOUS ENTERTAINERS CALLED BROTHERHOOD, OFFERING UP-TO-THE-MINUTE VOCALS, INSTRUMENTALS, PLUS A GREAT LIGHT SHOW THAT GETS THEM REGULAR RE-BOOKINGS EVERYWHERE THEY GO. CERTAINLY AN ACT THATS GOING PLACES. WELL WORTH SEEING.
