Tom McConville makes a welcome return to the Diamond. Fiddler and singer extraordinaire with a warm personality that that can hold the room mesmerised with his music and song. His repertoire ranges from songs and tunes of his beloved Newcastle to Irish slow airs and Scottish hornpipes and reels. Come early he is popular.

We welcome Hector back to the club at a very busy time for him, with the release of his latest CD "Gleanings" garnering some cracking reviews. What to expect is a night of wonderful songs from a master balladeer. He will not forget his Scottish roots as he has many fine Burns melodies, but he is not a man to be tied down to one country or genre. So come along shake off those winter blues and be ready to join in the choruses.

Steel Songbirds are Marilla Homes and Emily Eastwood, who hail from Australia and England, forged in Sheffield, tempered in the swimming pool of life and sharpened on the wit of singledom in the folk/pub/archaeology worlds. They sing songs of history and of silliness, songs of their own and songs of others. A comic and poignant musical duo. Blending acapella voices, with occasional fiddle and bouzouki, these girls know how to laugh!

This is a ticket night and will sell out very quickly.

The Teacups are Alex Cummings, Kate Locksley, Rosie Calvert and Will Finn. They sang for our 50th Birthday where they closed the evening with a barnstorming performance. We are expecting no less tonight. Expect fabulous harmony singing from this quartet and a wide variety of songs and styles. They have a great stage rapport which spills out in to the audience.
