A soulful tribute band are set to bring their 'high-energy' show to the stage this February.

The McCommitments, inspired by the cult classic film The Commitments, will take over Airdrie Town Hall for one night only on Friday, February 13.

With an 11-piece ensemble featuring "powerhouse vocals and a sizzling horn section", the show promises to capture the spirit and sound that made the original film and its music a fan favourite.

The McCommitments will deliver faithful renditions of iconic tracks including Mustang Sally, Try a Little Tenderness, In the Midnight Hour and Land of 1000 Dances.

Throughout the show, the band will also perform lesser-known songs from the soundtrack and the soul greats who inspired the movie.

The McCommitments’ musical director said: "This show is pure joy from start to finish.

"It celebrates not only the soundtrack, but the energy and community spirit that made The Commitments so enduring."
