About The Commitments
Features a special pre-show acoustic performance from local artist Manning playing classic hits from well known Irish artists before the film.
In this four-time BAFTA winning classic (including Best Film) directed by Oscar nominee Alan Parker (Mississippi Burning, Midnight Express), young and ambitious music fanatic, Jimmy Rabbitte, is a working-class kid with big dreams of breaking into the music industry. He decides to start on the path to greatness with a seemingly impossible task: bringing soul music to working-class Dublin.
After placing an ad in the local paper, Jimmy takes up the mantle of manager for his newly formed band of inexperienced misfits. Despite a shaky start, things start to click with the help of aging trumpet player, Joey “The Lips” Fagan, who oversees their musical education.
However, amongst the ensuing excitement and mayhem as they inch closer to success, the band threatens to be torn apart by petty feuds, jealousy, and the grim realities of life.
