The worldwide tour included a sold out show at The Royal Albert Hall, Trafalger Square, the Birmingham Symphony Hall (considered Europe's leading venue), the Sydney State Theatre, Brisbane's QPAC Arena, The Roxy Theatre LA, The House Of Blues - Toronto and many, many more. A full 5:1 surround sound/Hi-Def DVD of the concert is now available. Filmed at Brisbane's QPAC arena, the DVD reached No 1 in the UK charts during its first week of release. In addition to the band gigs - myself and Darren embarked on acoustic promo tours also in the UK, AUS & USA. These tours included countless performances at Radio stations, TV networks, Charity events, sold out venues in New York and Philadelphia and a hugely successful in-store tour of Borders outlets across America.
In addition to guitar duties with Darren I also Session and Co-Write for the pop industry. I am currently working with the Writer/Producer Tom Nichols who wrote 'Black Coffee' for the All Saints and has also written for - JLS, Dani Harmer, Kylie, Hall & Oates, Tom Jones, S Club 7 the Sugababes and many more. We are in the process of writing and recording for newly signed Artists who you should be hearing from in the near future.
During the week you can find me at the Playsomething Rock Academy in Ware. Hertfordshire, where I teach Rock Bands to strut their stuff. Kids and Adults the school has over 500 pupils and is the 2nd largest independent music school in the UK. Check my myspace dates for events and 'end-of-term-gigs' which are open to the public.
Of course, as any jobbing full time musician knows, for my bread'n'butter I also play in the corporate entertainment arena. As a solo artist playing acoustic covers for Parties, Weddings, Social Events etc - more of this can be seen on my website www.stevaladiva.com
