"You
sound just like Neil Diamond!". So say the people
who have heard Bernie sing as Neil Diamond. Close
you eyes and you can't tell the difference, they say.
Open them and he looks a bit like him too! Go to his
show and you may as well be at a real Neil Diamond
concert, so accurate is the portrayal. The beautiful
songs and lyrics of one of the 20 century's greatest
singer/song writers have never been so carefully and
accurately presented as in this show. This is one
for the Neil Diamond fans who just love the music.
No one does it better. The show is 90 minutes long
with dance music before and after by the Custodians.

What
the critics have been saying about him.
Bernie and the Custodians performed their Neil Diamond Tribute Show at our Rugby Club fund raiser in June 2009. I have to say that it was the most professional performance I had seen for a long time. The Custodians warmed the crowd up with songs from the period and soon had the crowd on the dance floor. When Bernie arrived as Neil Diamond, they were ready to party. His performance as Neil Diamond was outstanding. People remarked that he sounded EXACTLY like Neil Diamond to the point where some wondered if he was miming. That idea was put to rest when he changed some of the words mid song!
Combining humour with great music and song choice, our audience was treated to a world-class performance and many said it could only have been better if Neil himself had turned up!
We especially appreciated the effort the Custodians made after the show to keep the entertainment going for a full four hours. The dance floor was packed and they were forced to play several encores before we could empty the venue.
I can whole heartedly recommend both the Neil Diamond Tribute Show and the Custodians as the back-up band to anyone wanting first class, professional entertainment. Call me on 07-844 8134 if you need further information.

Uncanny. It made you think you were
either listening to a recording or Neil himself.

"You're miming!" excited
fan at Ellerslie New Years Day Races. The cheers from
the 25,000 strong crowd drowned out his response when
Bernie changed the words of the song midstream to
convince him otherwise. 2003
