Diamonds and Pearls have been around a while now but are more in demand today, than they have ever been.

Unlike other function or cover bands, Diamonds and Pearls find songs that are rarely covered by other groups and then make them their own. Soulful, funky, with a deep groove carved right down the middle; they create unique arrangements & mash-ups of classic, familiar soul & dance tunes, which nobody else is doing! From 60s soul to 70s funk & disco to 90s house and 21st century dance - they play clubs, pubs, theatres, weddings, corporate, charity balls, black-tie dinner-dances, student events, festivals - you name it, they've nailed it!

Last year we headlined at the Pacha Tower Ball in Blackpool - the first time the world-famous club has held a UK event outside London - and this year we've toured UK theatres warming up for comedian, Roy 'Chubby' Brown as well as being chosen to provide the entertainment at the prestigious Manchester Hoteliers' Association Annual Charity Ball in the sumptuous grandeur of the Palace Hotel.

The band consists of the very best singers, performers & musicians this side of Watford Gap. They include an ex-boy-bander, session musicians, solo singers, stage actors, instrumental teachers, a radio DJ and a radio news reader!

Diamonds and Pearls have many additional options to make your event special and memorable. So if you want the entertainment at your event to be different to the usual ‘jukebox’ cover band, memorable for your guests & a special night that will get talked about for years to come…then look no further!

Previous clients include:
- Pacha Christmas Ball in the world-famous Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
- Summer Soiree Dance Festival
- Warm-up for comedian Roy (Chubby) Brown at the Birmingham Hippodrome, Sunderland Empire and Blackpool Grand Theatres.
- Blackpool Football Club Christmas & End-of-Season parties.

booked Diamonds and Pearls for their Wedding at The Lowry in Greater Manchester

“What can Tracey and I say, we were expecting you to be fantastic and really looking forward to watching you guys perform, but we were left speechless at the shear quality of all of you! 11 band members with extraordinary talents in both singing and playing, our guests have not stopped talking about Diamonds & Pearls since our wedding at the Lowry Hotel Manchester 11/7/15. Anybody looking for a band to perform at a function should look no further than you guys, thank you so much for making our night amazing, not only are you an extremely talented musical group, you’re a great friendly group of people too. Wishing you all the best for the future, and if you perform in the North west and it’s a ticket event let us know because all our family would want to come and see you play. All our love to you guys!”

“On behalf of the committee and guests of Lytham Hall Charity Ball, I would like to thank you guys for an absolutely exceptional night. The music was fabulous and we have had some excellent feedback from the attendees. Diamonds & Pearls definitely rocked the Hall. We hope to see you all again next year”


Found these guys on the Internet and couldn't have booked anyone better.

“Enormous thanks to a brilliant band. Found these guys on the Internet and couldn't have booked anyone better. They played various bits and pieces throughout the evening from 7.40, followed by a brilliant band set from 11pm for 1hr 45 and had everyone dancing the whole time... Even though the wedding started at 2pm! Just trying to find an excuse for our next do so we can get them back. You've had loads of referrals already, we're sure you'll be wanted back in Yorkshire soon. An absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Thanks so much to Kev and his team xx”


The feedback I received from guests was amazing.

booked Diamonds and Pearls for their event

“I booked this amazing nine piece to perform at a Charity Ball I hosted in June. So glad that I did too! Well where do I start?.... They did a number of cover versions with their own twist and turns on the same. They managed to get everyone in the room up on their feet - even the most reserved guests! The whole room was electric. The feedback I received from guests was amazing and I have had no hesitation of booking these fabulous guys for the Ball next June! .... Brilliant”


To say I couldn't have asked for more would be an understatement.

5 stars - Diamonds and Pearls are Highly Recommended
booked Diamonds and Pearls for their event

“Had a 50th birthday party bash and one of my wishes was for a band who could entertain across the ages attending but mostly guests in their 40s and 50s. I chose Diamonds & Pearls because of their reputation and ability to fulfil . How grateful I was! From coming and setting up in your house they were delightful and well mannered. From doing what I wanted re speeches etc they just fitted in perfectly. As for the set they were just outstanding! Northern, 80s, 90s latest they had the dance floor rocking and to say I couldn't have asked for more would be an understatement. A truly great party made even better by D&P!”
