ROD Stewart and Neil Diamond are two star singers performing major concerts in very different surroundings - and we can arrange for you to see both of them.

First up is rejuvenated Rod, fresh from the success of his latest album. He is playing the NEC Arena, Birmingham, on May 14.

Meanwhile, the legendary Neil Diamond is headlining an outdoor concert in the beautiful grounds of Woburn Abbey, in Bedfordshire, on June 4.

Both concerts are bound to sell out, so book now to reserve your place.
