Judy Cook is touring from the U.S.A and makes a welcome return to the Diamond. A fantastic interpreter of traditional material from her side of the pond and she has a song to fit any occasion either sad or comical. With a wealth of stories about the people and the land she can draws you in and hold you spellbound. Come prepared to sing.

Chris Foster is doing a short tour from his home in Iceland to promote his new CD ‘Hadelin’ which is a collection of English songs. His warm singing voice and a love for traditional song  has made him a  favourite of ours down through the years. He is also a fine guitarist and we might even get an Icelandic tune as well. This will be the first gig of the tour and we are very lucky to be able to get him.

Hilary Spencer and Grant Baynham are Quicksilver. The “voice” is back at the club and Hilary has to be heard to be believed wonderful song interpretations and a wicked sense of fun. These deserved to be matched by amazing musicianship which is what you get from Grant who is a virtuoso on the guitar. Listen to her voice and watch his fingers.

Tom McConville the Newcastle fiddler is well loved up and down the country. With his melodious voice, easy manner and dry sense of humour he is a joy to listen to. His fiddle playing is in a league of its own and can quite take your breath away. Come early as he has lots of fans in Brum.
