Reactions on Jimmy Rabbitte

band from the poorest slums of North Dublin that decides to play

soul music for the working people of Dublin. The organizer of

the band and who I feel is the most important character is the

manager Jimmy Rabbitte. Jimmy is a young man who knows music

and knows what's cool, who has the business mind to bring in new

musicians and the potential to make the band a success. Jimmy

introduces the band to soul music. The band likes soul music,

but they don't particularly identify with it. Jimmy's logic is

persuasive: "The Irish are the blacks of Europe. Dubliners are

the blacks of Ireland. North Dubliners are the blacks of

Jimmy Rabbit is the band's manager, and perhaps one of the

most complex characters. At first, it seems he believes the band

is just another moneymaking scheme. When things started coming

together in the group's performances, I believe he started to

see The Commitments as his way to fame. He would hold imaginary

interviews with himself, and give the reporters deeply felt

responses when actually interviewed. He had spent some years

receiving unemployment benefits, and I think that he wanted

more, which where the band fit into his plan
