Help needed to settle this, please!

It's the dance brand Bloch. Some of us pronounce 'block' and others 'blosh' and I'd like to know which is more correct.

For me it would be neither of those but to rhyme with loch? (Said with Scottish pronunciation)

I’ve always said Block to rhyme with clock.

I have a friend with this as a surname pronounced that way, but it might be totally wrong in this context

39 seconds into the video. I reckon in UK English it would translate to “block” rather than “blawk”?

This.

i suppose it would sound like block depending on accent though.

It's an Australian brand, in Australia we pronounce it as 'block' with a slightly softer ending - perhaps 'blockh' is most like it.
