“The shining jewel of the European ‘Louisiana music’ scene, with a collective pedigree spanning 30 years!
Always with an ear to the ground listening for new sounds coming out of Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas, whilst also delving deep into the jewellery box to re-discover classics from the golden years of Zydeco, as well as adding their own unique sparkle and shine to the mix.
From Clifton Chenier to Beau Jocque, Keith Frank to Corey Ledet; then throw in a bit of Toots & the Maytals and Micheal Jackson… we’ll see you on the dance floor!
Making folks move to their Zydeco groove, this elite team of flawless musicians un-deniably have the cutting edge when it comes to tearing up the dance floor!
You’ll often see a ‘Diamond’, or two, or three, in the backline band of choice for some of Louisiana and Texas leading Creole and Zydeco artists when visiting the U.K. Backing up the likes of Jeffery Broussard, Corey Ledet, Harold Guillory, Wayne Singleton, Ruben Moreno, Leon Chavis and Joe Hall to name a few!
Introducing the band…
Dan ‘the man with the master plan’ Williams - on the scruboard
Kev ‘hip roll’ Torne - on guitar
Andy ‘in the pocket’ Watson - on drums
Rob ‘the rock’ Hill - on Bass
Gav ‘pull it don’t push it’ Lewery - on Accordion
The Zydeco Diamonds deliver irresistible, funky, foot stomping high energy Zydeco dance music, pure and simple, loud and direct, from your head down to your dancing feet!”
