The music of Neil Diamond will be celebrated by Barry Thomson & The Reals at the Rhumbelow Theatre venues in Pietermaritzburg (September 12) and Durban North (September 18).

Paying respect to the music of this legendary artist composer and performer, Durban’s own tribute band features Barry Thomson on guitar and vocals, musical director Dawn Selby on keyboards and vocals, Mali Sewell on drums and vocals and Trevor Donjeany on bass guitar and vocals.

Included in the repertoire of ‘Hot August Night’ are Diamond’s hit songs Cracklin' Rosie, Song Sung Blue, Longfellow Serenade, Desiree, You Don't Bring Me Flowers, America, Heartlight, Sweet Caroline and I’m A Believer. A show not to be missed!
