The Commitments at the Mayflower Southampton

Roddy Doyle’s The Commitments - The story of Jimmy Rabbitte, a young working class music fan, who auditions a number of wannabes to be the finest soul band Dublin has ever produced.

Set in Dublin in the 1980’s, this is the tale of band manager, Jimmy Rabbitte and a group of aspiring musicians who get together in the hope of forming a band.

Jimmy wants to manage the world’s greatest soul band and, like a true businessman, he holds auditions at his parents’ house in the hope of discovering musical talent. Unlike Jimmy’s soul idols such as Aretha Franklin and Otis Reading, Jimmy finds himself with a group of white and weedy musicians.

Hell bent on transforming the group into something great, Jimmy names the band “The Commitments” and together they attempt to head up an Irish soul revolution. Featuring songs such as; Night Train, Try A Little Tenderness, River Deep, Mountain High, Papa Was A Rolling Stone, Save Me, Mustang Sally, I Heard It Through The Grapevine and many more.
