Whilst performing in Las Vegas six years ago Bob Drury was described as ‘one of the world’s finest vocal tributes to Neil Diamond’. He’s now back touring the UK with his new acoustic based show for 2022, 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!

Tickets: £17. Members and under 18s £15.

The Sounds of Simon is a tribute to the wonderful music of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel – through the years as Simon and Garfunkel to the successes of both their solo careers.

Explore the friendship that led to songs such as Mrs Robinson, The Sounds of Silence and of course, Bridge Over Troubled Water. The full band will also take you through the pair’s solo careers, with songs such as You Can Call Me Al, Graceland, and Art’s smash hit, Bright Eyes.

Paul and Art are played to perfection, bringing in elements of their famously fractious relationship, as well as replicating the beautiful harmonies flawlessly. With video clips, stories, and memories from the last 50+ years, this is a wonderful show filled with excellent music, nostalgia, and a genuine love for some great musicians.

This is the UK’s longest running tribute to Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. Come and see why!

Tickets: £15.
