The Real Diamond's Biography
Line up:Solo Act: vocals and guitar with backing tracks.
The Real Diamond is Neil Diamond (rated as one of the top three Neil Diamond tribute act in the UK) and the likeness is uncanny.
He has a chance to show his musicianship as Neil playing some cracking guitar rhythm's on "CHERRY CHERRY" "BEAUTIFUL NOISE""PLAY ME"& "SWEET CAROLINE". He wears the costume and look from the "JAZZ SINGER" which was Neil Diamond at his peak.
LATEST NEWS....... He has just performed his Neil Diamond Tribute Show with Stand Up Comedian RUSSELL KANE (See photo) for AVALON TV PRODUCTIONS on BBC RADIO 2 at the GRAND THEATRE in Blackpool (July 2011). He sang SWEET CAROLINE as the grand finale to the show "RUSSELL KANE'S SUMMER TOUR SHOW" which is scheduled to be broadcast in August 2011 (evening transmission).
When The Real Diamond performs his Neil Diamond Tribute the audience are totally captivated and involved in the performance as the tempo goes up and down and the mood changes from romantic ballads to storming classics like "I'm A Believer" and "Cracklin' Rosie ". His magnificent voice re-creates the emotion excitement passion and "spiritual" feel of Diamond's songs.
This Neil Diamond tribute show take's the audience there, involves them hands-clapping and he doesn't let go until a fantastic heart-thumping foot stomping roof-raising finale!
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.
Testimonials:
"The best of all the tribute shows we've had at the Dilmun. The Real Diamond had everyone on their feet. The feedback from the club members has been tremendous. His performance as a Tom Jones and Neil Diamond tribute was truly amazing" - Jill Silverthorne, Dilmun Club Bahrain (Saudi Arabia)
"...........a very convincing look/sound alike tribute act to Neil Diamond"-The STAGE NEWSPAPER
" ......... one of the very best Neil Diamond tributes you will ever see."- Neil Diamond Fan Club (Stafford)
“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.” - NEIL DIAMOND - GREEK THEATRE 1976

""Dear The Real Diamond,
I just had to write to say how much we all enjoyed your Neil Diamond & Tom Jones performance on Saturday in Diss Corn Hall for the Friends of Chernobyl's Children.
You gave us your all and those who were there had nothing but praise for your professionalism and I was asked if there was a chance to hear you again.
On a personal note I would like to say a big thankyou for our instant repartee, and also during the evening, which I can assure you was a big relief to my fellow trustees and me.
We nearly covered our costs, and I hope we can see you again at a future date when things have been resolved. So on behalf of the eleven children that we hope to bring over from Belerus this summer, a very big THANK YOU!!
Yours Sincerely Richard H. Vere - Treasurer F.O.C.C. (D & D)

"“Working with Alive Network couldn’t have been easier – their speed of response to the initial enquiry and subsequent booking of the artiste was excellent. The Real Diamond was fantastic in his portrayal of ‘Neil Diamond’ – the event SOLD OUT for us and we had 240 delighted guests. We are now looking at dates and acts for other Tribute Nights and would have no hesitation in securing a future act through Alive Network”

"The Real Diamond came and did a 'suprise' Neil Diamond performance recently for our Wedding Reception in Yorkshire.
He was incredible! The VOICE!! You take a risk calling yourself The Voice, but this guy easily lives up to it.
So relaxed - so professional, puts you at your ease and mixes with the guests wonderfully! The supreme performer.
Thankyou for a wonderful, wonderful night.
