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."
