About the event
Step back into the world of soul as Dave Finnegan’s The Commitments storm into the Blakehay with a powerhouse celebration of rhythm and blues.
Led by the one and only Dave Finnegan, who brought the fiery drummer Micah Wallace to life in Alan Parker’s legendary 1991 film The Commitments, this is the ultimate homage to Dublin’s finest soul band.
Now fronting his own acclaimed live show, Dave channels the same passion, humour, and heart that made the film a cult classic. With a sensational live band and knockout backing vocalists, expect explosive renditions of soul anthems including Mustang Sally, Try a Little Tenderness, In the Midnight Hour, Chain of Fools, and Take Me to the River.
From the first note to the last, this high-octane show captures the raw energy, grit, and spirit of The Commitments, bringing audiences to their feet and celebrating the music, the story, and the enduring legacy of one of the greatest soul bands ever to hit the screen.
A night of pure soul. Pure nostalgia. Pure commitment.
