The show

A tribute to Neil Diamond, and everything around it

The solo show is built around Neil Diamond: the well known classics, the smooth ballads, the fiery gospel numbers, and a few deep cuts for the people who know the records inside out.

Around that sits the retro show, with music from the sixties, seventies and eighties, country old and new, rock and roll, ballads and a bit of reggae. Something for every age in the room.

Jules also played with Celebration, a wedding and corporate band in the west of Ireland.

“I love it, I’ve always loved it, because in a sense they keep the music alive… God bless them all, I hope they do great.”

About

From Lanzarote to Kerry

From the pubs, clubs, hotels and resorts of Lanzarote to the south west of County Kerry, Jules has been entertaining for nearly thirty years, with his tribute to Neil Diamond and a retro show covering the last seven decades of music.

Alongside the shows there is the radio work, the voiceover chair, and the start lines he has been calling since 1996.

The albums

Hello My Friends

Recorded at Earthshaker Music with Gary Newton, and built from the requests of the audiences who came to the shows around Lanzarote. Hello Again and America both made the running order.

Turn on Your Heartlight

Recorded at the studio of Iain Court, with more listener requests and a few personal favourites slipped in, among them Heartlight, Lady Oh and If There Were No Dreams.
