The Committed

The Committed are probably THE most authentic tribute to The Commitments as they have truly emulated the original sound from the motion picture soundtracks 1 and 2. The lead singer LOOKS and SOUNDS like Andrew Strong back in the day and the rest of the band have the same drive and passion which make The Committed such a popular event band.

The Commitments was released in 1991 and made instant stars of the cast who were all unknowns at the time. The film depicts the rise and subsequent fall of a group of 10 mainly young people from an impoverished area of Dublin. It is no mean feat to find and keep 10 musicians in a band and when you do it is almost destined to be something special.

As well as all the classic Commitments numbers The Committed also play many other Tamla Motown songs by request which will make your event swing such as “Rescue Me” and “Son Of A Preacher Man” and even The Blues Brothers’ “Soul Man” and “Sweet Home Chicago”.

The band has a full 10 piece line up and boasts some of the best musicians from the region. They do not go out as a smaller band as they feel this would greatly impact the authenticity of the sound and feel of the band.

If you want THE most realistic and authentic Commitments Tribute Band then look no further than The Committed. None of them are in this business for the money. They do it for the love of the music and the appreciation on people's faces who see them.
