The original man himself, Dave Finnegan, from the 1991 blockbuster movie, The Commitments!
Dave Finnegan played the character of ‘Mickah Wallace’, the head butting bouncer & drummer in The Commitments! He has also fronted the touring band for the last ten years, appearing all over Europe and the world. Including Brazil, USA, Canada, Scandinavia, South Africa, The Middle East, India, Japan, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand. We guesstimate Dave Finnegan’s Commitments have performed live to over 3 million people!
Dave has performed alongside legendary artists such as James Brown, Wilson Picket, Edwin Starr, Steve ‘The Colonel’ Cropper, Dennis Edwards (The Temptations), BB King, Sam Moore, Dan Ackroyd and many, many more.
With a gritty, soulful sound, Dave Finnegans Commitments continue to spread the gospel of soul to the undisputed masses! Sam Moore questioned, ‘How can a little white guy have a soul and a voice that’s so black!?’ It’s true, and Dave Finnegan is as loud and brash as he ever was!
Now you can hire Dave Finnegans Commitments and his sensational, sweet soul show. Along with his 8 piece live band, he performs all the hits from The Commitments & much, much, more!
Dave Finnegans Commitments feature the same commitment to their music, with the instantly recognisable horn section, and that sweet soul rhythm section. The band undoubtedly continue where the film left off, still spreading the word of Otis Redding, Wilson Picket and the other apostles of soul, and in doing so enabling us all to experience the essence of sweet soul music!
This is not a tribute. This is the real thing!
