The show
A tribute to Neil Diamond, and everything around it
The solo show is built around Neil Diamond: the well known classics, the smooth ballads, the fiery gospel numbers, and a few deep cuts for the people who know the records inside out.
Around that sits the retro show, with music from the sixties, seventies and eighties, country old and new, rock and roll, ballads and a bit of reggae. Something for every age in the room.
Jules also played with Celebration, a wedding and corporate band in the west of Ireland.
“I love it, I’ve always loved it, because in a sense they keep the music alive… God bless them all, I hope they do great.”
