Introducing The Lack of Commitments. The hard working, saviours of soul. An eleven piece soul experience. Our set list (some may also say looks) are strongly based on Alan Parker's masterpiece film "The Commitments".
The set is crafted around the best known songs from the film. The iconic songs that give the band its identity, “Try A Little Tenderness”, “In The Midnight Hour”, “Nowhere to Run”, “Too Many Fish in the Sea”, “Destination Anywhere”, “Chain of Fools”, “Show Me”, “Take Me To The River”, “Hard to Handle” and of course “Mustang Sally”.
You can also expect a carefully selected list of soul belters from the likes of Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, Martha Reeves, Tina Turner, Eddie Floyd, Jackie Wilson, Joe Tex, The Marvelettes and James Brown. Weʼre talking absolute soul bangers such as “Higher and Higher”, “Knock on Wood”, “Think!”, “Soul Man”, “Proud Mary”, “Dancing in the Street”, “Heatwave”.
So get your dancing shoes on and come down to The Secret Garden for a mega party and to witness one of the very best live bands on the circuit.
