An illuminating and enjoyable journey into an era of Neil Diamond's life, starring Dominic Finley and the Diamantes.

The show will feature Neil Diamond’s Hot August Night album in its entirety, with interesting stories about how the songs were created, and of Diamond’s dark journey from being a struggling Brooklyn poet, to becoming one of the world’s most loved performers.

Performer Dominic Finley is a former member of 80’s chart toppers Cutting Crew, and has a background worlds apart from Diamond’s New York upbringing in the ‘Tin Pan Alley’ days of Broadway.

Finley’s is the world of cobbled streets, terrace houses, and a show business grounding won out of the gritty working men’s clubs in Lancashire, in the North of England. The show sees Finley carefully weave his personal story, with the legacy of Neil Diamond.

Finley is backed by the superb Diamantes, a fantastic band whose musical characters bring that very special Hot August Night back to life by delighting audiences with stunning renditions of Sweet Caroline, I am…I said, Song Sung Blue, Crunchy Granola Suite and many more.

Finley’s story leads to his eventual emigration to Australia, a true Neil Diamond country, where 1 in 3 homes has a copy of Hot August Night.

“Dominic’s unique ability to morph his own powerful talents as a singer and musician into the character of Neil Diamond is uncanny.”
Bob Cheevers (Emmy winning Nashville songwriter)
