Here's a few videos from The Hop Pole, Bromsgrove, Nov 2007.
We are a band that has one golden rule - 'make sure the audience have a great time!' We are three musos who have played in various pro bands in various countries around the world. We put together 'The Ritz Bros' 5 years ago mainly so that we could enjoy playing the music that we love and having a great time in the process.
The 3 of us or sometimes just 2 of us have all played together in various line-ups in the past 30 years or so and there's quite a bit of interesting history that would fill too much space here. There's been record contracts, singles and albums released, but rather than bore you with all that, just have a listen to our music, watch some videos and what we'd really like is to SEE YOU AT OUR GIGS!
WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR ALL LIVE VENUES OR PRIVATE FUNCTIONS. EMAIL ON: theritzbros@yahoo.co.uk or call 07734 149837 or 07910092672.
We can vary the music to suit your tastes, but mostly we cover 50s, 60s, 70s good time rock, blues, rockabilly and swing. We can provide background or disco music through our PA also.

Hey Robby It was great to see you last night. I must apologize for the terrible music and singing I have done yesterday. Trust me I am much better when I am on electric guitar. You guys got some great blues/jazzy sorta songs. You got any chord sequences or manuscript you can share for some of your songs so I can learn them? if not, i'll just go with my ears. haha yeah will add your myspace as well. keep in touch. taka
