	For those who haven't heard of or seen the film "The Commitments", 
here is some background about it and the band.  The film is about a group of 
working class Dublin musicians attempting to make the big time.  And they did.
Not only the film was nominated for an academy award, also its two spin off 
CD's have sold millions of copies world-wide.  The casting sessions were set 
up in Dublin, out of 4,000 applicants the band was formed of mainly young 
Irish musicians.  According to Jerry Tallmer of the New York Post, this film 
may be the best non-documentary rock and roll movie ever made.

	Two years after the film's release, original members of the cast 
created "The committed: Tour featuring Stars from the Commitments", which 
brings all the raw energy and soul of the film into the concert hall.  After 
Brit Awards, Gold Albums, and Grammy's, the band is still bringing 
"Irish Soul Music" to audiences all over the world, playing all the classic 
songs from the films including "Mustang Sally", "Mr. Pitiful", and 
"Try a Little Tenderness".  

	This show will be their final show of its American tour.  We have had 
the good fortune to procure their services at about half their usual rate.  The
price for the ticket is $21.50 in advance and $25.00 at the door.  Proceeds 
will go to benefit the Acton-Boxborough Youth Hockey Association.  

	Oh, please feel free to distribute this message to your families and
friends.  Come and enjoy the night with us!

	Jean
