A NIGHT of acoustic Neil Diamond classics is promised when top tribute performer Bob Drury brings Viva Neil Diamond – Unplugged to The Phoenix Theatre and Arts Centre in Bordon on March 5 at 7.30pm.

A Phoenix spokesperson said: “Bob Drury’s award-winning one-man show is an absolute must-see for any Diamond fan.

“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.”

Tickets cost £16.
