MALTON-based charity Ryedale Special Families has announced details of two stunning concerts planned for the Milton Rooms this year.

Bon Giovi, who boldly claim to be the world’s premier tribute to Bon Jovi, are heading for a one off concert at The Milton Rooms on Saturday, July 26, while on October 4, The Kommitments, will be making a special appearance.

Someone once said "Imitation is the highest form of flattery" and Bon Giovi is without doubt, one of the best tribute bands on the circuit today.

Over a decade of hard work, dedication and hundreds of UK and world-wide gigs behind them, this band is surely the best tribute to Bon Jovi around.

So if you’re ready to 'Runaway' on 'One Wild Night' down that 'Lost Highway" for a taste of some of the world’s greatest stadium anthems, then get your tickets now. They are the closest you'll get to the real thing.

Then, on Saturday, October 4, lovers of soul and motown music are in for a real treat with The Kommitments, one of the UK's premier tribute's to “The Commitments”, the classic feel good film of the nineties.

This 10-piece band undoubtedly continue where the film left off, bringing soul music back to the masses.

Their fast paced energetic show features six top class musicians and four stunning vocalists, performing classic soul and motown masterpieces from the likes of Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding, with songs that are immortalised in our hearts such as Mustang Sally, Chain of Fools, Midnight Hour, Hard To Handle and Take Me To The River.

As in the film, The Kommitments come from all walks of life, dedicating themselves to becoming "the hardest working band" of their genre and it's that dedication and passion for soul music that captures the audience from the moment the band explode onto the stage.

The band are guaranteed to get everyone of any age up on the dance floor, or just sit down and listen, the sound is amazing.
