Directions, any info about the place to load in and the point of contact.
Yes, I'm happy to play music from Spotify before/after/in between sets and to load playlists chosen by the client.
I have really enjoyed festival gigs in Scotland, and a recent highlight was playing Monty Python songs with Michael Palin!
I've been influenced heavily by artists like David Gilmour, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Pixies, classic songwriters, but I appreciate all kinds of different music.
I've been performing since 2005 and have had the opportunity to play all kinds of music, 30s/40s jazz in swing orchestras, a wide range of pop and rock covers, theatre, ceilidhs, folk, and I've loved all of it.
I love playing wherever there's an opportunity for people to get together and have a good time!
30-60 minutes depending on if I'm bringing a PA.
Happy to play outside, shade is great if it's hot, I can also do roaming style performances.
Happy to discuss with clients, I can usually add one or two specific choices
Reviews from recent events:
'My endorsement 100%. You leading the Idler band was just great this year - such a strong, clear voice you have, and fun with it.' Victoria Hull, Idler Festival
'Diana led a singalong at the Christmas Party - she was superb! Beautiful voice, lovely guitar and she got the whole crowd singing along - and smiling. A brilliant player, performer and singer.' Tom Hodgkinson
'Diana played at a gig in the great Hall Oundle. She was incredibly professional. Arriving early and fully prepared. She played guitar and sang and kept the whole place entertained for an hour. She has a great look and a fantastic stage presence. I would thoroughly recommend her for any event. She was easy to work with and the music was fabulous!' Geordie Douglas-Hamilton - Oundle Ball
