Vicki Swan and Jonny Dyer are back to delight you. They are in great demand and it is easy to see why, as they are equally at home on a big festival stage or in an intimate club room like ours. Vicki plays Scottish smallpipes, flute and Swedish nyckelharpa,  while Jonny plays guitar and accordion. If you’re greedy for more they also sing in harmony. Look out for the new CD that has had great reviews, it is called “Red House”

It is time to welcome back one of the most requested guests to the club. Brian Peters is a real powerhouse of traditional music and song. He is hailed as one of the finest ballad singers around, while his playing of melodeon, concertina and guitar will have your feet tapping and your hands clapping for more. Brian works frequently in the USA and can often be seen touring this country with some fine American folk artists.

Notts Alliance are no strangers to the Diamond. Expect tight harmonies from this trio. Their eclectic repertoire never fails to amaze me stretching as it does from the traditional to the present day. It is all served up with a gentle humour that is directed at themselves. Come early as they are very popular.
