A
Dynamic Performance by .......... "THE VOICE" Ian has a magnificent
and powerful voice that is truly a match for popular music's major
singing stars.
Many artistes can sound like a particular star but few are great
singers. Ian is a great singer as you'll see when you listen to the
sound files.
Tom Jones deserves nothing less from a Tom Jones tribute act.
After 5 years as a cabaret artiste where he earned the title of "THE
VOICE" - he was spotted by an agent while supporting one of the top
ABBA tribute acts. He has never looked back since.
A very important part of Ian's tribute to Tom Jones is the fact that
he is a top look alike for Tom (employed by CELEBRITY GROUP
LOOKALIKES LONDON/HOLLYWOOD). This together with a great Welsh
speaking voice and all Tom's mannerisms and phrasing really creates
the illusion that it's the real thing!
He recreates all the passion and power of a Tom Jones concert,
interacting and chatting with the audience and even involving some
of them on "What's New Pussycat?" They love it!Ian is an
international tribute act and regularly travels round the
world,playing in Bahrain, Marbella, Tenerife, Costa-Del-Sol, South
of France and mainland Spain.
Last
year he performed to 1500 people at a Christmas Corporate event in
Nottingham, then he was flown to Edinburgh's version of the Dome
where he sang 3 songs to an audience of 700 people at a top fashions
award show. This was followed by a week in Tenerife appearing with
Frank Carson the comedian. Then came the biggest privilege. Ian was
chosen to do the promotion work for Smart Cars and "The Party In The
Park"- The Route of Kings (Tom Jones show in Hyde Park) two days
work culminating with a mini performance in Hyde Park itself singing
to Tom's fans on the back of a security buggy!
A second major event came Ian's way when he was requested by Johnny
Caesar (who wrote "Come Home Rhondda Boy" for Tom's album "DARLIN"
in the 80's) to demo a brand new song for Tom to listen to and
consider. Johnny told Ian that he needed someone who sounded like
Tom but had the singing ability and power to do the song justice and
this is why he chose Ian. Ian has also appeared at the Dilmun Club
in BAHRAIN (Saudi Arabia) where they wouldn't let him go and he
performed 45 minutes of encores doing the Tom Jones tribute show.
Ian always gets a great reaction,
wherever he goes.
He wears the
costume and look from the "JAZZ SINGER" which was Neil Diamond at
his peak. The audience are totally captivated and involved in the
performance, as the tempo goes up and down and the mood changes from
romantic ballads to storming classics like "I'm A Believer" and "Cracklin'
Rosie ". Ian's magnificent voice re-creates the emotion, excitement,
passion and "spiritual" feel of Diamond's songs.
Ian's Neil Diamond tribute show take's the audience there, involves
them, hands-clapping, and he doesn't let go until a fantastic
heart-thumping, foot stomping, roof-raising finale!
