Diamonds in the Rough comes to Ararat tomorrow
MUSIC lovers of all ages are invited to the Ararat Town Hall tomorrow for Diamonds in the Rough, a live tribute celebrating the timeless songs of Neil Diamond.

Featuring powerhouse vocalists Alexander Stuart and Michael Clohsey, the show will bring some of Diamond’s best-known hits to life on stage in the heart of Ararat.
Diamonds in the Rough promises an engaging morning of music, memories, and singalong favourites, with audiences treated to classics ranging from Sweet Caroline and Cracklin’ Rosie through to Hello Again and Love on the Rocks.
With rich harmonies, dynamic stage presence, and a setlist that spans decades of songwriting, the performance offers a relaxed and welcoming experience for long-time fans and newcomers alike.
Mayor Bob Sanders said the event was another example of Ararat Town Hall bringing quality live entertainment to the region.
“Ararat Town Hall continues to punch above its weight, giving local people and visitors the chance to enjoy top-notch shows without having to travel to the city,” Cr Sanders said.
“Diamonds in the Rough will be a great excuse to come into town, catch up with friends, and enjoy some classic Neil Diamond tunes in one of our community’s favourite venues.”
