St Mary's Arts Centre
The life of a legend in song…
In a new ‘one-man’ theatre show, singer and guitarist Bob Drury celebrates the life and music of the legend that is Neil Diamond.
The show tracks Neil’s remarkable journey from unknown and struggling New York songwriter to international mega-star and includes music from every stage of a staggering and hit-filled 47 year music career. ‘Solitary Man’, ‘Cracklin’ Rosie’, ‘Sweet Caroline’, ‘Love on The Rocks’, ‘America’, ‘Hello Again’, ‘I Am I Said’, and more will be performed by Bob alongside Neil’s more recent acoustic material such as ‘Pretty Amazing Grace’, ‘Oh Mary’ and ‘Delirious Love’.
Undoubtedly one of the UK’s finest vocal tributes to Neil Diamond, Bob has performed the songs for a number of years as part of his Neil Diamond tribute shows throughout the UK and overseas. He has been described as the UK’s ‘voice of Neil’…
“If I didn’t know better I’d have said that was Neil Diamond singing” Pat Marsh BBC Radio Kent.
“….oozing class” Nolan Dean, Cruise Director, Island Star
