Namibian-born Johan Liebenberg’s name is synonymous with success, having enjoyed sold-out performances of his Neil Diamond Tribute across the length and breadth of South Africa. He has performed in myriads of Barnyard productions as vocalist and guitarist and has never looked back since his highly-acclaimed “Neil Diamond & Friends” show at Willowbridge Barnyard. Johan has gone from strength to strength as the demand for him to perform Neil Diamond’s hits, even as far as Namibia, has increased. Singing the songs of Neil Diamond, one of the most enduring and successful singer-songwriters of all time, is Johan’s speciality. Having sold over 25 million records worldwide, Neil Diamond is the third most successful adult contemporary artist on the Billboard Charts.

 

Johan is a consummate performer, who with his superb voice and charming personality, uncannily brings to life Neil Diamond’s evergreen hits like “Song Sung Blue”, “Sweet Caroline”, “Beautiful Noise”, “Longfellow Serenade”, “I am I Said”, “Forever in Blue Jeans”, “Cracklin’ Rosie” and many more. Be prepared to be captivated by his acoustic medley of “Play Me” and “Cante Libre”, to mention but a few.

Come and be transported back in time to that Hot August Night that has endeared Neil Diamond to us all. A show not to be missed!

Audience Responses

Excellent show.

Excellent

Excellent most enjoyable , look forward to future productions

Fantastic performance. Brought back great memories. Venue is amazing. Highly recommend it. Your kindness in accommodating us was also greatly appreciated. Thank you Drama Factory for keeping on the lights and bringing top class performances to the area.

Sound was excellent, a very enjoyable show. Loved it.

My expectations for this artiste were high but he failed to impress. I expected to see a Neil Diamond impersonator but I someone only performing his songs.

Show was amazing and the sound is stunning too. The seating is not the greatest, but still had a great time.

Fabulous show

Fantastic - more tributes please!

A very talented man whose voice was sooo close to Neil Diamond. Great entertainer. Sorry that we, the audience were such a weak back-up group, but singing through a mask is more difficult than I thought!

Excellent. Thank you for the invite

Great show in fab new venue, well laid out with conscientious social distancing. Great sound too. Well done Johan, and Sue for venue and hosting.

Lovely evening. Theatre looks great!

Great show!

We loved it - what a talented man. It's wonderful that you have been able to arrange the performances again and we can't wait for the 27th. Love, Genevieve

Why no 6th star? We thoroughly enjoyed it and can wait for many more performances at the Drama factory. Regards Brian & Cora

Show started off very unimpressively with the singer walking in and turning his back to the audience. Fortunately it gained momentum and became quite vibey and very enjoyable. Excellent voice and rendition of Niel Diamond's songs. Can somebody whisper something in the singer's ear about presentation, maybe jeans and trendier shoes???

Fan bloody tastic. We love love loved it. Please tell Johan he’s a genius
