About Diamond Chique

Caterham, Surrey, United Kingdom
We’re a female band with a difference. We write and perform our own music and we all have children and busy family lives. It’s important to us that we are real and not manufactured – we believe that you can make things happen if you work hard, keep focused and enjoy what you do. It’s not about instant celebrity for us but more about personal fulfilment and the realisation of dreams and aspiration and, of course, having some fun along the way!

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."
