The Stars From The
Commitments
South Shields Customs House
Sunday 7th
February 2016
Band are Committed
to Bring Soul
to The
Customs House
It
was the film which spawned a Brit Award-winning soundtrack and picked up four Bafta
Awards.
Now
The Stars From The Commitments have hit the road to celebrate 25 years since
the Oscar-nominated movie was release and are stopping off at The Customs House
in South
Shields
this weekend.
The
nine-piece soul band from Dublin, which features actual
cast members and musicians from the original Commitments film and soundtrack, have travelled the world and earned a list of
celebrity admirers.
Ken
McCluskey, who played bassist Derek Scully in the film, said: “Soul music has
become my life for well over 25 years. It has been a fantastic journey touring
the world and being part of such a great band.
“We get to
perform these great soul songs to so many people, and the music is still as
fresh and enjoyable now as it was when we first started touring so many years
ago.
“We are really looking forward to performing at The Customs House. It’s
going to be a great night, so we hope to see you there!”
They
have also performed with soul legends such as BB King, Ben E King, James Brown
and Wilson Pickett, as well as contemporary artists such as The Black Eyed Peas
and Arrested Development.
The
night will include all the hits from the award-winning soundtrack including Mustang
Sally, Chain of Fools, Take Me To The River, Try A Little Tenderness, Nowhere
to Run and In The Midnight Hour.
