Celebration of a musical legend

Where: Gloucester Guildhall

When: Saturday, January 20, 7.30pm

Following sell-out shows in Las Vegas, Bob Drury, one of the UK's top Neil Diamond tribute artists, brings his highly acclaimed one-man show to Gloucester this month.

Viva Neil Diamond comes to Gloucester Guildhall on Saturday, January 20, at the start of Bob's 50-date UK theatre tour.

A highly accomplished guitarist as well as a singer, Bob has been travelling with his Neil Diamond show for the past nine years, delighting audiences with his incredible sound-alike vocals.

He said: "From the outset I knew that it would be attention to detail that would make these shows stand out. For me this didn't mean black wigs or hair dye but a real focus on those iconic songs so I could get as close as possible to Neil's amazing sound."

The show celebrates the past 50 years of Neil Diamond hits and is simply bursting with gems including Sweet Caroline, Forever In Blue Jeans, Love on the Rocks, America, Hello Again, Beautiful Noise, Song Sung Blue, I'm A Believer, Red Red Wine, and many more.

Bob added: "Viva Neil Diamond will include 30 of Neil Diamond's most popular songs and even then I've had to leave some out. It's an incredible song catalogue."

As well as his UK tours, Bob Drury has performed at venues throughout the world. In January 2015 he performed for the American Neil Diamond Fan Club in Nashville, USA and following the success of that performance has been featured in a new US movie called Diamond Mountain. The film looks at the lives and performances of the world's top tribute artists.

Tickets to see Bob's show in Gloucester cost £16 and are available from the box office on 01452 503050.
