Synopsis
A 12 piece Classic Soul Band who have been together since 1990 was formed in 1990 as the
resident band for the ‘Hollywood Club’, Newport. Within months of the Commitments
film release similarities and comparisons were made, as both acts were inundated with
offers of live engagements because of their specialising in R&B/Soul Music. On several
occasions the two acts met, where Big Mac’s would open for The Commitments.
Soon to follow were the offers of live work not only in the UK but internationally, and Big
Mac’s toured Europe, performing to audiences in Austria, Egypt, Germany, Tenerife and
Dublin. Also, venues diverse as London’s The Cafe Royal and Marquee Club, Boomtown
Festival, Upton Blues, Falmouth Tall Ships & Newquay Festival. Such far-reaching appeal is
witness to the band’s popularity, adaptability and versatility.
TV and radio performances, touring and appearing with Edwin Starr, Van Morrison, Jimmy
James & the Vagabonds, Billy Ocean, Jools Holland, The Real Thing, Earth Wind & Fire,
Sister Sledge, Gabrielle (to name a few!) has served to polish the bands’ repertoire
without every diminishing its energy and enthusiasm!
