Description

I am a solo artist with the ability to deliver a very wide selection of songs from the 1950's to present day to varied audiences. I have devised set lists for any occasion, be it easy listening tracks ideal for large hotels and restaurants where people want to talk over background music to more upbeat, engaging sets for parties and receptions. As I use backing tracks I am totally flexible as I have the option to do requests and to invite the audience to sing with me which can be fun for the audience. In addition to solo work I perform regularly for my own covers band as lead singer where the m ... aterial is more rock based and in a duo where I sing lead and backing vocals. I am very good with accents which makes me a very good impersonator of popular artists such as Neil Diamond, Elvis Presley, The Beatles and many others.

Howard Friend - Male Singer - Neuchâtel, Switzerland Event Location: Maldives islands Event Type: Corporate Event 30th November 2022

Knowing his ability to perform well in front of large crowds through his work, I decided to hire Howard to play at our corporate event in the Maldives. His performances of Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You, Your Song and Sweet Caroline were awesome!

I hired Howard to play at my wedding having seen him many times in his band. He didn't disappoint as he played all of the requests I wanted and his choice of set list was perfect.

Howard Friend - Neil Diamond Tribute Act - Neuchâtel, Switzerland Event Location: Neuchatel, Switzerland Event Type: Birthday party 11th February 2023

Howard performed amazingly well as Neil Diamond for my wife's 50th birthday party, totally nailed ND's vocal style/range and natural rapport with the crowd. Can't wait to see him again!
