Four talented, gorgeous young girls came to the fore performing with 'Purple Patch Productions' at the Globe Theatre, Blackpool and in further concerts through out north-west venues.Years later they gathered again starring in a semi professional theatre company 'Juxtaposed Productions'.
The company toured north-west theatres including the Manchester Opera House, The Lowry and Manchester Palace Theatre. During this period they all took lead vocals in the touring shows, 'Movies in Motion' and 'The Best of Broadway'. The four became best friends and decided to combine their talents in drama, dance and singing and form a female vocal harmony group. Their initial idea was to just take songs from popular musicals to create an enjoyable show but it manifested into a comedic, theatrical, sexy and vocally harmonious show.
Our cluster of diamonds, originally known as 'The Diamond Girls', were cut producing and performing a show in August 2005 for Great Britain and Wigan Rugby League star Kris Radlinski. He held his Testimonial dinner at the beautiful Kilhey Court, Standish and after wanting an evening of glitz and glamour, the girls definitely fit the bill. Also appearing that night was the fabulous young After that success they performed alongside the fantastic Johnny Martin for the British Donor Foundation at the prestigious JJB Stadium, Wigan. Their talents then spread to Milton Keynes 'Xscape Centre' where they performed to celebrate its 5th Anniversary and Christmas lights turn.
The girls starred with celebrities Richard O'Brien of 'The Rocky Horror Show' and Anthony Hutton 'Big Brother' winner in 2005 and also performing on the same bill as GIRLS ALOUD. This was a tremendous accolade for the girls who had only been together for four months at this stage.
The 'diamonds' sparkled in December 2005 producing and performing their own Christmas Spectacular at the Monaco Ballroom, Hindley. A sell out receiving rave revues - a tribute to James Bond himself, Santa Claus and to Musical Theatre! After this sparkling tribute and a huge response from their fans wanting more than just one night, they decided to expand their repertoire showing their musical and theatrical diversity in Soul, RnB, Motown to name but a few. Changes in musical style also meant a change to their name, they are now known as..

A DIAMOND Poem


They are not just anybody standing in the crowd These diamonds emerge sparkling girls aloud. Shining through the panoramic view Performing not just anything but something for you. These diamonds penetrate the crowd Singing melodically in harmony and so proud. Not just anything but something special and new Performing not just for anyone, but for you.
