The 'Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show', a theatrical concert that promises to dazzle audiences, is to begin a nationwide UK tour on 8 April. The production is a dedication to Neil Diamond and will feature a wealth of his best loved hits, including Sweet Caroline, Cracklin' Rose, Love on the Rocks, Girl You'll Be A Woman Soon and many more well known gems.

Brought together by a carefully selected team with West End, Broadway and large-scale concert presentation experience, 'Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show' combines top notch talent with a colourful and high energy production.

The show was devised by Tony & Olivier Award nominee Malcolm Spencer, who also produced it alongside Andrew Welch. It will be directed and choreographed by well-established talent and Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood. The costume designs were done by multiple award winner Matthew Wright and the performing stars feature Brian Conley, Ben James-Ellis and Darren Day.

The storyline for this theatrical extravaganza involves the ever-zealous preacher 'Brother Love', played by Brian Conley, and his fabulous 15-piece band. They guide the rest of the cast enthusiastically on a 'Mission of Love', inspired by the belief that the 'Power of Neil' can conquer all.

This musical movement of Soul-Saving proportions sets out to capture the flamboyance, fun and sincerity associated with Mr Diamond's showmanship – it promises not disappoint his fans. Famed for glamorous costumes, a gorgeous big-band sound and stunning visual presentation, Neil Diamond concerts have always been something of a theatrical experience.

With over 115 million albums sold worldwide, Neil Diamond has over the past three decades established a reputation as one of the finest live performers of his generation. His shows offer an unforgettable journey that displays his mastery of tone, atmosphere and musicality.

The original 'Travelling Salvation Show' was Neil Diamond's fourth album, released in 1969. The song 'Brother Love's' is specifically about his larger-than-life depiction of a travelling preacher. It celebrates Gospel music as well as the evangelical style of worship and quickly became an encore favourite in his concerts. It also helped to establish Neil as a premier force on the concert circuit.

Tickets for the show are priced at £21.50, £26.00 & £29.50. VIP seats along with a complimentary drink and souvenir programme can be bought for £35.00. Bookings plus more information on the venues and dates can be found at www.brotherlovesshow.com or www.neilsaves.com.
