The Stars from the Commitments have played more than 1000 concerts and been seen by over 1,500,000 fans worldwide. Throw together a handful of unknown actors. Add a spoonful of soulful tunes. Whisk vigorously and what do you get? This was Alan Parker's recipe for success and he pulled a sure-fire hit out of the over with The Commitments. It successfully took the movie musical into the 20th Century and is rated in the top 100 films of all time by the British Film Industry. It still remains a cult film to this day. Following the success of the 1991 BAFTA winning film, The Commitments take to the road featuring two hours of sizzling soul music led by former film cast members Dick Massey (Billy "The Animal" Mooney) on drums and percussion and Ken McCluskey (Derek "The Meatman" Scully) on guitar. The Commitments have taken the energy and excitement of Alan Parker's movie and created a thrilling, unforgettable live experience, including Mustang Sally, Chain of Fools, Try a Little Tenderness, Take Me to the River, and In the Midnight Hour.
