Overview
A Birmingham concert by Andrew Strong celebrating more than 35 years of The Commitments, the soul project that began with Roddy Doyle's 1987 novel and Alan Parker's 1991 film. The show is set at XOYO.
The Commitments originated in Roddy Doyle's 1987 novel about a working-class Dublin soul band. Alan Parker's 1991 film adaptation brought the group to a wider audience, and its soundtrack, featuring Andrew Strong on lead vocals, drew on soul and rhythm and blues standards such as "Mustang Sally" and "Try a Little Tenderness". The soundtrack's success kept the material in circulation for decades, and this evening marks more than 35 years of the project.
Andrew Strong is the singer whose voice is most closely associated with the film's music, and this concert centres on that repertoire and its soul roots. The project's songs came out of the Stax and Motown tradition, so listeners interested in 1960s American soul and its Irish reinterpretation will find the connection clear.
XOYO Birmingham is at 29 Lower Trinity Street in the city centre. The venue mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music. The evening suits fans of the film, the soundtrack and classic soul singing.
