Mar 18th. The Night Watch.

The Night WatchThe Night Watch return to carry us back to earlier times by  playing a plethora of ancient instruments that they suck, pluck or blow. As Andy and  Ian are both fine vocalists they can conjure up songs that span hundreds of years. The shows, that they perform up and down the country, cover Shakespeare's wonderful body of work as well as others whose manuscripts they have researched and keep alive through vibrant performance. Come along and try to sing the choruses in your native tongue.

Mar 4th. Vicki Swan and Jonny Dyer.

Vicki Swann and Jonny DyerVicki 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”

Black Diamond Folk Club Christmas Ceilidhs Questionnaire 2016

An annual Ceilidh has always been part of the life of the Club, and if possible we would like to carry on running them. In order to understand what caused the Ceilidh to be cancelled and if there is a will for us to carry on running them, a short questionnaire has been put together to get some feedback from the people who attend/have attended. It is hoped that you will complete the Questionnaire and submit it to us, to enable a decision to be made as to their future.

 

The questionnaire is completely anonymous, no name or email address is requested or saved.

The questionnaire is hosted by Google Forms, please click the link below, which will open in a new window or tab, to start.

Feb 5th. Notts Alliance.

Notts AllianceNotts 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.
