ENTERTAINMENT:  Peter Byrne bring a Neil Diamond classic to Castlebar

Peter Byrne will play the TF Royal Theatre next Saturday night to celebrate one of the most legendary live albums of all time. The timing is very appropriate as Peter and a 30-piece symphony play all the classics from Neil Diamond's 'Hot August Night'.
It is over 50 years since Neil Diamond stepped on stage at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles with a symphony orchestra and 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.
Featuring the classic songs 'Crunchy Granola Suite', 'Cracklin Rosie', 'Sweet Caroline' and 'I am I said', Peter promises to deliver the same spontaneous display of energy and sensuality of Neil Diamond.
Neil recently announced retirement from live performing due to illness and many of his fans both in Australia and worldwide were devastated and saddened at the news, so Peter decided he will salute 50 years of his music with some special moments in the show.
After sell-out shows in Australia over the last 25 years and Peter’s last sell out tour of Ireland in 2022 in his hometown of Dublin in the National Concert Hall with the RTE Concert Orchestra, the 2023 tour will be on stage this Saturday night at the Royal Theatre Castlebar with the Orchestra of Ireland.
