30 years in the business, Rob Leigh started singing in
the late 60’s with one of the many bands that sprung to life that decade. He
played through the 70’s as a member with various bands until the early 80’s
when he decided on a solo career as a guitar vocalist.
This led him onto the European trail where he successfully
toured France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, The Canaries before he set his sights
on the U.S.A.
After America, Rob Leigh returned to his beloved Manchester,
England where he has now settled.
Having been compared to
Neil Diamond vocally for many
years by the majority of audiences, particularly in America where Neil Diamond was
King, Rob Leigh decided to take some professional advice from Shout Promotions. From that moment the Tribute
show was born and Rob Leigh became NEIL DIAMOND.
