Harrison Drury helps bring Neil Diamond to Blackpool

LAW firm Harrison Drury is advising Blackpool-based concert promoters Cuffe and Taylor on its deal to bring Neil Diamond to the town next year.

The American singer, behind hits such as Sweet Caroline and The Monkees’ I’m A Believer, will close his 48-date world tour at Blackpool Football Club’s Bloomfield Road stadium on July 23.

Preston-based Harrison Drury previously worked with Cuffe and Taylor on a series of Rod Stewart concerts earlier this year.

David Edwards, associate solicitor at Harrison Drury, said: “Neil is one of the biggest selling artists of all time and it’s been a privilege to assist Cuffe and Taylor in bringing him to Blackpool for what I’m sure will be a great show.

“This year’s Rod Stewart concerts showed what a great music venue Bloomfield Road can be, as well being another successful chapter in the Cuffe and Taylor story.”

Peter Taylor, co-founder and director of Cuffe and Taylor, said: “This will be a massive event not just for Blackpool but the entire North West. He is only playing nine other dates in the UK so the fact his only outdoor stadium concert of the whole tour is in Blackpool is great news for the region. We enjoyed great success with our first ever gig at Blackpool FC when we brought Rod Stewart earlier this year. That concert was extremely well received and we are delighted we can return with such a high profile world-class legend.”
