“I’ve worked with Neil Diamond tribute artists, but there's something about Steve Waddington and The Feel of Neil that really stands out to me. His voice is incredible. But it’s so much more. It’s his energy, charisma, humor, his stage presence, and the way he connects with the audience. Steve has that special something that you simply can’t teach. And the band — absolutely amazing. Solid musicianship from beginning to end and an energy that filled the entire room. I’ve seen a LOT of Neil Diamond shows over the years, and I can confidently say that Steve Waddington is one of the very best I have ever seen. What a voice. What an entertainer. What a show.”---Concetta Ellis, Chin Chin Entertainment
