Andrew rocks...He has such an amazing voice. I wish he was able to make is big over here in the USA. Awesome performer.

film in cinemas in1992 for all here bad at maths. Lol

[chriswlanger]

This show was shot in 1992. Just look at the credits at the end. What hurts the most is that he had such passion for what he was doing when he was young, and then after "getting signed" and making a couple records he became a mockery of himself. He became complacent, and complacency is DEATH. Especially if you are an artist.

this isn't from the 80's for christ sake. Andrew Strong was only born in 1973 and I don't think he was 7 in this video. He was 16 in The Commitments

[BlackJackDave007]

[BlackJackDave007]

Yes it is, It;s the guy that played Dean

[sodiraq]

I think you mean Decco.

[sodiraq]

Yes. He still tours with the tribute.

[skeeternic]

@sodiraq I have never seen him with the tribute band.

[sodiraq]

@skeeternic Who? Kenneth McCluskey? You can't have been to many gigs then.

[donaldo1976]

great to hear him sing this song and show he can do it , one of the most influential movies in my life great sountrack and turned my head in a totally different way musically wise

[fifadefa]

could have been a lot bigger

but hes still fairly young 35

[SilverDogMusic]

He looks pretty big to me. If he wants to be more successful he might consider writing his own material.

[sodiraq]

Biggest Irish film of the 90's. If you want to be taken more seriously you might like to learn your music.

[SilverDogMusic]
