The New Diamonds
After the overwhelming success of the performance 'The New Diamonds – The Story of the Blue Diamonds', Patrick Drabe and Steffen de Wolff return to the theaters with a brand new chapter: part 2. What started as a one-off tribute grew into a complete theater tour full of nostalgia, emotion and musicality. But the story of The Blue Diamonds is far from over.
The origins of this musical journey lie with the legendary duo The Blue Diamonds, consisting of brothers Ruud and Riem de Wolff. They conquered the world in the early 1960s with hits such as 'Ramona' and toured sold-out stadiums in Indonesia, Scandinavia, Australia and Central America. After their service, the music landscape changed drastically with the arrival of The Beatles, among others, which slowly reduced their popularity in Europe. Yet they remained icons in the Far East, where they performed well into the 1980s.
After Ruud's death in 2000, Riem found the strength to continue with the support of fellow artists and his son Steffen. Under the name The New Diamonds they released the album 'Out Of The Blue' in 2001, produced by Patrick Drabe. This marked a new beginning;
In 2023, the musical legacy of Ruud and Riem was honored by The New Diamonds with a successful tribute in De Doelen in Rotterdam. The reactions were so positive that the audience shouted for more and the performance was born. And now there is Part 2.
'The New Diamonds – The Story of the Blue Diamonds Part 2' is a sequel and a renewal. The big hits of yesteryear remain central, but the performance has been enriched with new songs and accompanying stories. Because behind every song there is a memory, a journey, a human moment worth telling and sharing.
With this performance, Steffen de Wolff and Patrick Drabe show that the legacy of The Blue Diamonds is still alive and well – on stage, in the music and in the hearts of the audience. The New Diamonds once again take you on a musical journey full of warmth, charm and timeless melodies.
The story continues. Don't miss it!
