Dave Finnegan’s The Commitments
After packing out Leeds Irish Centre two years running, we welcome back Dave’s band playing all the greats that made the film The Commitments such a huge success to this day.
Just like the movie, this live stage show sees a splendidly-cast group of incredibly-talented musicians share the stage with the energetic frontman – and star of the hit box office movie, Dave Finnegan. His superb, soulful voice delivers spectacularly in an acclaimed show that’s literally full of soul.
Across North America, into South America, on to Europe, far into Asia and Australasia, Dave Finnegan has earned accolades for his amazing vocals. He has traversed the world spreading the word of Otis Reading, Wilson Pickett and the sound of sweet soul music live in concert as well as performing alongside Edwin Starr James Brown, BB King, Dennis Edwards of The Temptations, Dan Ackroyd and many more!
If you’re a fan of the film, a lover of real soul music or simply an aficionado of great nights out: signed, souled, delivered this is the show you’ve been waiting for. . . ‘How can a little white guy have a soul and a voice that’s so black?!’ Sam Moore of Sam & Dave’s ‘Soul Man’ fame.
A soundtrack of Christmas favourites will get you in the mood for the show from doors opening until the band come on stage.
