About Me
- Nearly Diamond
- I was born in 1955 in New Cross, London to Irish parents. I have four brothers and five sisters. My mother was always singing when we were growing up and she was my inspiration. I started singing seriously in the 1980's with my brother Robin. We sang mostly Everley Brothers songs with Robin singing the melody and me singing the harmony. My musical hero is Bobby Darin who died too young. Neil Diamond has always been one of my favourite singers and I have followed his music since the early 1970's. I sing in restaurants, pubs, clubs and also private functions. Customers always comment on my ability to sound like Neil Diamond but I must point out at this stage I am a sound alike not a look alike as you will see from my photo. My performances feature music from the Rat Pack, Bobby Darin, Andy Williams, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly and of course Neil Diamond. I have got a vast song list which also include artists such as Dire Straits, Roxy Music, Eagles, Rolling Stones, Beatles and the list goes on.
