I have been paying Tribute to Neil Diamond as he is now
for quite some time
UNLIKE MOST TRIBUTES WHO PORTRAY HIM IN THE JAZZ SINGER ROLE
I have had some success, in performing on Stage,
in the Clubs, Theaters, Bars,
cafe's at open air concerts,
and on Cruise Liners.
I just returned from performing in Europe,
at the talk of the Town every night
in Benidorm Spain, one of' if not the most prestigious venues in Spain
In my show that lasts at least an hour, I perform the great songs he has written
AMERICA, CRACKLING ROSIE, FOREVER IN BLUE JEANS, LOVE ON THE ROCKS, HELLO AGAIN,
and many more
to quote people who have seen Neil Diamond, and watched my show they have said
"if we close our eyes its as if we are back at his concert again"
of this I am very proud .
I have also appeared on television a few times My most memorable being on
Stars in their eyes
and recently on VIVA TELEVISION, Spain where they also videoed my complete show and I now have the DVD available for the public to purchase after my show
I was Born in Yorkshire England,
I was very interested in music and entertaining,
I even wrote some songs on the guitar that my Dad had bought for me. when I was nine
I later became the songwriter for some of the Yorkshire television documentary series, writing theme songs and also inputting the incidental music.
I have been in show business for many years and I have been given a wealth of experience ,
I have worked with some of the great stars that unfortunately are not with us anymore,
Matt Munro, Les Dawson, Bob Monkhouse, and many more,
always listening and learning to the professionals (you are never too old to learn)
I hope you enjoy my Site and if you need a great show
don't hesitate to contact me
I can send a Show reel DVD to interested parties
all the best Derek
