Whilst performing in Las Vegas some years ago Bob Drury was described as “one of the world’s finest vocal tributes to Neil Diamond” and he’s now back touring the UK with his new acoustic based show for 2021 celebrating the legendary Neil Diamond and his incredible back catalogue of songs.  Bob Drury’s award-winning one-man show is an absolute ‘must-see’ for any Diamond fans.  Prepare to be blown away by his vocal likeness which has been delighting audiences around the world combined with his stunning prowess on the guitar.

By taking some of the songs back to how they were originally written, with just voice and guitar, Bob brings a whole new dimension to the songs, particularly the beautiful guitar ballads that have a genuine depth of emotion when stripped right back. The show still includes loads of Neil Diamond’s blockbuster hits such as ‘Sweet Caroline’, ‘Cracklin’ Rosie’, ‘Play Me’, ‘Hello Again’,  ‘Song Sung Blue’, ‘Beautiful Noise’, ‘Red Red Wine’ and ‘Forever in Blue Jeans’ so get those voices ready to sing along! There are also a few lesser known songs that are sure to become your favourites by the end of the show.  A fantastic evening guaranteed!

This top tribute show is more than just a tribute! They are the ‘complete package’, a great combination of brilliant musicianship, tongue in cheek humour and rave reviews throughout the UK, the band play their songs in their familiar country-rock style whilst stealing a few choice numbers from those famous five icons, Messrs Orbison, Harrison, Dylan, Petty and Lynne!

The brilliant Unravelling Wilburys with tongue in cheek hilarity are made up of Sticky Willy, Thumper, Blind Melon, Walter and Honky Tonk Wilbury, ‘the real Wilbury brothers’!
They grew up in Appalachian shacks and first presented their songs in Nashville back in 1987.
Their show tells the story of how their songs were stolen (allegedly) by Messrs Orbison, Harrison, Dylan, Petty and Lynne at Nashville’s Tootsies Bar and the hard road they had to tread to get ‘em back. Listen to “Handle With Care”; “End Of The Line”; “The Devil’s Been Busy”; “Tweeter And The Monkey Man”; “Heading For The Light”; “Mr Tambourine Man”; “If Not For You”; “Pretty Woman”; “Mr Blue Sky”; “Here Comes The Sun”; “I Won’t Back Down”; “Runaway”; “Running Down A Dream”; “Learning To Fly”; “Refugee” and many others.

Facebook comments:
