He has taken his tribute to Neil Diamond show to the Highlands of Scotland the DILMUN CLUB -BAHRAIN & The PARADISE CLUB- TENERIFE. The Real Diamond also thrills audiences all around the UK with his superb "double bill" tribute to Neil Diamond and Tom Jones. The transformation from Tom to Neil astounds people with some of the audience convinced it is not the same performer for both acts.

Neil Diamond is one of the worlds greatest and enduring singer/songwriters. He is a songwriter himself (listen to "The Hands of Love" and "Pour Your Love On Me" on the sound files). He wrote these gospel songs and performed them with his band 'After The Fall'. The Real Diamond understands how well Neil has crafted his songs and how they "fit like a glove" when you sing them. He also understands the technique of singing that you have to pour your heart and soul into every performance. He does that and more.

“Something very magical happens…..the audience is the other half of the performance you can’t do it without them, you need them, you need them with you, you want them, they’ve got to be with you or else there’s nothing…… and the most exciting time of all is when it all comes together, when the audience is with you, when the band is cooking, when the night is made for love. Suddenly you’re not just the man on the stage anymore. You’re a man having a love affair with the audience. And most of all, best of all …….you’re not alone anymore.”
