Sweet Caroline: Neil Diamond The Ultimate Tribute

A tribute evening devoted to the songs of Neil Diamond, the American singer-songwriter behind 'Sweet Caroline', staged at King's Hall in Ilkley.

Neil Diamond began writing and recording in the early 1960s and went on to build a long career as a singer-songwriter. Among the songs that bear the name are 'Solitary Man'(1966), 'Cracklin'Rosie'and 'Sweet Caroline', which gives this evening its title. Diamond also wrote 'I'm a Believer', a hit for The Monkees in 1966. The 1972 live album Hot August Night documents Diamond's concert work from that period.

This production is a tribute to Neil Diamond and is not the work of the original artist. It is built around that catalogue of songs, with the emphasis on the melodies and lyrics that audiences have followed for decades.

King's Hall hosts concerts and shows in Ilkley, and this evening suits listeners who want to hear Neil Diamond's songbook performed in a theatre setting.
