The Guts
Jimmy Rabbitte is now 47 and life is about to get tough. He is ill. A story about friendship and family, about facing death and opting for life and maybe even living the dream.
Twenty six years on and we are back in Dublin with Jimmy Rabbitte, the ex-manager of The Commitments. Jimmy is now 47, married to Aoife and has 4 kids. Life has been rather good since we last met him, keeping a foot in the music industry and doing well during the boom. However, life is about to change for them all as Jimmy has just discovered he is ill. This is a story about friendship and family, about facing death and opting for life and maybe, just maybe, realising you can still live the dream.
Going To Hell was performed by More Than Conquerors.
