Relive all the soul classics from The Commitments movie live in concert, featuring original Commitments stars Kenneth McCluskey (Derek “The Meatman” Scully ) and Dick Massey (Billy “The Animal” Mooney ) plus musicians from their multimillion selling albums when they play the Royal Theatre on bank holiday Sunday May 31.
Following a worldwide media tour in 1991 to promote the global success of the Alan Parker film of Roddy Doyle's acclaimed novel, the band went their separate ways. During the promotion, there were so many requests for the band to tour that by 1993 The Commitments had been reborn as a real, working band, playing their special “Dublin Soul”. They have toured the world ever since and on many special occasions, and their co-stars from the movie including Michael Aherne, Robert Arkins and Johnny Murphy perform with the band.
The Commitments play to sold-out audiences worldwide and since 2004 have performed in front of hundreds of thousands of fans at major outdoor festivals and concert venues throughout the UK and Europe.
