The Party & Good time music show

The Black Diamonds Skiffle Band cover a multitude of musical genres from Folk to Rock and
just about everything in between. The twist being that every song is performed live and on acoustic
Skiffle instruments.

The usual four piece line up is:
Lead vocal/ banjo/ acoustic guitar/ blues harmonica
lead guitar/ vocal
tea chest bass/ vocal
washboard/ drums/ percussion/ vocal

This show is requested frequently for weddings & special events, private parties, corporate functions
and festivals, and normally of up to two hours in duration.

The Band gain great enjoyment from performing hit songs that other acts can't or won't touch.
