The girls only need to sell up to 4,000 copies to get the single into the Top 40. Which is where you come in. We'd like you to tell at least other two people to download the single. In turn, we'd like you to ask them to pass it on to at least two others, and so on.

Help us get Diamond Chique into the Top 40!

The girls go to town on their next video

The girls have quite literally gone to town on producing their next video for their new song, 'Take me away'. Recorded at the Cafe de Paris in Central London, the video sees the girls transported back to the 1940s, complete with dresses and hairstyles to match. The same venue used by Girls Aloud for one of their videos, the Cafe de Paris provided the ideal backdrop for 'Take me away', which sees the girls saying a fond farewell to their sweethearts before they depart for war.

The video is co-directed by Linzy Attenborough, who is also currently directing a new film 'Cruentus: blood lust' starring screen legend Ingrid Pitt, Judd Charlton, Ed Speleers (Eragon, Echo Beach) and Lucy Brooks, which is due for release later this year.

Eagle-eyed viewers may spot a famous face in the 'Take me away' video. One of the young men due to depart for war is Leon Lopez, better known as Jerome Johnson in Channel 4's 'Brookside'. Leon plays Susan's love interest in the video - you can see from the videoshoot featured in our latest pictures section (see right).

"We had a brilliant time making the video," says Susan. "The venue was great and it was really fun to get dressed up and pretend to go back in the past."

The girls would like to say a big thank you to the Maxwells Group for loaning the venue for the shoot, plus everyone involved in helping to make the video.

The new video will be posted on this site shortly.

A big thank you!

Thank you to everyone who came to our performance at The Olive Tree on 21st February. The venue was absolutely packed out and it was great to see you all there. We hope you all enjoyed the evening and that you got a taste of our special 'Chique Mystique' cocktail kindly dreamed up for us by Katie and Raffaele at The Olive Tree.

A big thank you to everyone who helped to make the night possible, including the team at The Olive Tree for their fantastic help and hospitality; Scream Studios for the hire of the equipment; Atheen of RedXRecords for operating it (and performing - great set Atheen!); Scream Images for the promotional shots; our film crew for their hard work over the weekend; Karl Ayling for his photography and Darren Lafferty, our very own MC for the evening - what a star!

The girls go back to school

The girls are going back to school. Not to study, but rather to encourage young people at schools in East Surrey to consider a career in music, whether it be performing, promoting or managing a band.

Starting with De Stafford school in Caterham, Diamond Chique is touring around schools in the East Surrey area to talk about what it's like being in a band, how they formed and their plans for the future. As managing director of Mega Music Management and a former entertainments booker for a leading West End nightclub, Amanda is also able to talk from experience about other opportunities in the music industry and how best to make an impact.

"We're really keen to encourage young people to realise their ambitions and build on their creativity," say the girls. "Music has given us a great opportunity to do what we really want with our lives and we really want to share that message."
