Black Diamonds

Bio:

The Black Diamonds are a 5 Piece Rhythm & Blues and Rockabilly band based in Plymouth. They play a varied set of self penned originals and covers of obscure but infectious up tempo stomping songs from yesteryear. The message is simple - "Live" rock n roll music is meant to be fun! A solid rhythm section lays down the beat, with riffing guitar and soulful harmonica adding to the music mix. Add in a singer with a vocal punch similar to British singing legend Tom Jones, and this band will take you back to the days of Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Papa Lightfoot and other legendary blues artistes, and then give you a few surprises along the way with their self written material. The band have had many musical influences, including the likes of Elvis Presley, Gene Vincent, and some of the lesser known 'stars' of the 50s era, mixed in with some of the newer bands from the rockin' circuit, such as The Go Getters and The Blue flames.. The band are committed to bringing the big bop sound to as many people as they can reach, whether is be with live performance, recorded material on cd, or via internet video. The Black Diamonds are equally at home when playing large or small events, whether they be private, corporate, or festival. If you love to dance you will be in your element. You can Bop , you can Stroll , you can Jive - most of all ENJOY ! See you on the Dance Floor
