A trio of one night shows are set to hit the city this week and we've teamed up with Sunderland Empire to give one lucky winner the chance to win a weekend of entertainment.

The Blues Brothers.

First up is T.Rextasy, on Thursday, February 16, who have been performing all over the world for 25 years, a career that ironically out-lives Marc’s very own T.Rex.

This year, the band returns to venues across the UK to transport audiences back to the ‘70s for the Marc Bolan 40th commemorative anniversary tour.

Marc Bolan, with his band T.Rex, was one of the most flamboyant and charismatic stars of the original glam rock era who had hits throughout the ‘70s including Telegram Sam, Jeepster and I Love to Boogie.

The following night, on Friday, February 17, The Chicago Blues Brothers, will take to the stage. The musical features material from the original Blues Brothers movies including tracks by Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Ray Charles, Tina Turner, Cab Calloway as well as other blues, soul, Motown and funk classics. Donning their suits as The Blues Brothers are Chris Hindle as Jake and Gareth Davey as Elwood.
