… NEIL DIAMOND’S
HOT AUGUST NIGHT
THE CONCERT
featuring Peter Byrne
“Thanks for the great tribute Peter …..” Neil Diamond
Celebrating the anniversary of the legendary recording “Hot August Night:, PETER BYRNE brings Neil Diamond to you together with a world class 30 piece Symphony Orchestra.
It’s over 40 years since one of the world’s great live superstar performers, Neil Diamond stepped on stage at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles with a symphony orchestra
& recorded what is still known today as one of the greatest epic live albums of all time.
Now that album will be re-created in its original format in a national tour by Peter Byrne and his fabulous 30 piece orchestra, will tour through New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania.
Featuring classic songs Crunchy Granola Suite, Cherry Cherry, Sweet Caroline and I am I said … see the same spontaneous display of energy and sensuality of Neil Diamond with the superb
talents of Peter Byrne. Peter’s capacity to recreate Neil Diamond to a standard that Neil himself has endorsed on many occasions hearing Peter’s tribute.
Each year Peter has thrilled audiences around Australia playing tributes to Hot August Night at Sydney’s State Theatre, Darling Harbour Convention Centre, Burswood Casino, Adelaide Festival Theatre and in 2010 he played to 4500 people at the Twilight at Taronga series with electrifying performances. With a 30 piece Symphony Orchestra Peter re-enacts every song from the albums
just as Diamond recorded it.
“…..the day I see a better Diamond, will be the day the man himself appears on stage ….” Adrian Revere …. Mercury

ABOUT PETER BYRNE
Peter Byrne’s career is studded with awards from the entertainment industry, acknowledging his outstanding ability to create and perform shows that take his audience on a memorable journey of songs and music. Peter’s professional productions, along with a warm, sparkling personality and a delightful touch of Irish wisdom and humour, has resulted in a ‘cult-like’ band of dedicated fans who provide the nucleus of an audience at all of his public appearances.
When Peter first performed his production of the tribute show, ‘Hot August Night’, as a 25th anniversary tribute to one of the greatest live albums of all time, with a 40-piece orchestra backing him. He received a standing ovation from the 4,000 plus audience at the Sydney Convention Centre. The ‘Hot August Night’ tribute show has been performed every August since that first night, in South Africa, the UK, on cruise ships all over the world and all over Australia. His orchestra show has also performed for many large corporate clients such as Retrovision, CBA Awards and Victor Chaing. Peter has received seven ACE Awards and after receiving another of his many ‘MO’ Awards for his best Production Show, Peter’s talent was acknowledged as mentioned in the media release by the great man himself as follows:
“Thanks for the great tribute.” Neil Diamond
Peter is a consummate performer, at home in an intimate setting, playing guitar and singing from his wide repertoire of songs, or performing with a 30-piece symphony orchestra for a huge audience.
One things for sure Peter Byrne is no rough Diamond.
