About

Andrew Strong, the Irish singer and actor, is finally returning to Sweden in November 2025 for the first time since 2002 to perform *The Commitments* iconic soundtrack in its entirety. The Swedish performances kick off the celebration of the upcoming 35th anniversary of the acclaimed cult film soundtrack, originally released in 1991.

Strong, born into a musical family and only 18 years old when he portrayed Deco Cuffe in the global hit film *The Commitments* in 1991, has enjoyed a career spanning over three decades. With his soulful voice and dynamic stage presence, he continues to captivate audiences, evoking nostalgia with worldwide hits from the soundtrack, including “Mustang Sally,” “Take Me to The River,” “Chain of Fools,” and more.

*The Commitments* captured a range of phenomena, but none as powerfully as ANDREW STRONG’s talent. The film offered a glimpse into the gritty underground scene of 1980s Northside Dublin, marked by social unrest. The soundtrack became a massive commercial success, staying 51 weeks on the ARIA Top 40 and peaking at number one. It has sold over 12 million copies worldwide and earned major accolades, including four BAFTAs and a Grammy nomination.
