Bob Drury - Neil Diamond
As a singer and guitarist, Bob Drury is an established and well travelled entertainer with extensive experience in a wide range of musical genres. It was whilst preparing a repertoire for solo vocal/guitar performances that he discovered his voice had virtually the same vocal range as Neil Diamond but it was an entertainment manager at a London venue who first told Bob that his voice actually sounded like the man himself!
The original recordings of songs such as I Am I Said, America, Love On The Rocks, and Desirfeature a Neil Diamond vocal full of passion and power with that signature and distinctive rawness at the top end of his range. This could be Diamond at his best (guts, gravel and all!) but you then listen to the sensitive and beautifully delivered ballads such as Hello Again, Play Me, and September Morn and realise that there is much more to the voice than this
In his show A Diamond Experience Bob strives to recreate the magic of a Neil Diamond performance and delivers a polished and tirelessly practiced interpretation of the voice and guitar combination that has captivated millions of fans over the last five decades.
