Hi Gary and June
Just to say that Fred Zeppelin were so amazing on Friday. The crowd really appreciated Zeppelin and it is great to see them at the Diamond for the very first time! Please have them back again. We don't see enough of them in the East Midlands, especially as there are so few good venues left in the area. Well done and keep it live .Well done Fredz. Keep live music going and support your venues. Love Denise Bowman X

Hi Gary,
Just wanted to let you know that my mate and I thought Maetloaf were exceptional on Saturday night. Vocally they are probably better (now anyway) than the original. The girls were superb.

Thanks to yourself for booking us on again, and all the staff and the brilliant, appreciative crowd.

Hi Gary
Just a quickie to say how much we enjoyed supporting Dr Feelgood on Friday, it's a great venue you've got there especially with a bit of a crowd in. Nice to stop over as well so thanks for that, gave the lad who cleans on Saturday morning the £20 for accommodation so hope he's passed tghat on to you.
Think Wilko Johnson would go down a storm there as well judging by the reaction The Feelgoods got.

Hi Gary
Just wanted to say how great it was at the Diamond on Sunday! We played a gig as part of Pete's charity bash with three other bands.
We had a great time and really enjoyed playing for you all. We couldnt stay till the end but from what i saw i think the Diamond is fantastic and is how a good club should be! Fantastic setting, classic decor and a fab stage and sound set up. We only stayed for Quo as i had to be up again at 6am as a teacher at a school in Birmingham, but im sure it went well.
We had a blast and it would be great and an honour to come back soon!
Take care and all the very best with the Diamond. Hope to catch a show soon!

Not knowing Sutton that well, we were a bit apprehensive when we found your venue - but we needn't have worried. As soon as we walked through the door we were made to feel welcome and the service at the bar was very efficient and friendly all evening.

an old mate called in on sat night namely PETER SPENDLEY who i hav'nt seen for some time.
he was the diamonds first in house sound engineer and i allways said i would mention him on the web.
peter spent time and money to get things right at the diamond regarding p.a.but sadly had to leave after two years with us.
he was one hell of a sound engineer and a great guy to boot.
his wife selina backed him all the way and it was a great loss when he moved to hull with his family.
PETER will allways be remembered at the diamond by myself and all of our customers.

What a fantastic night. The third time we have been to the Diamond and it just gets better every time. I wish I had for

Review of 'The Diamond' club, Sutton in Ashfield, Notts from The World Famous Gutterband.....
We had a great night playing at 'The Diamond' club in Sutton in Ashfield on Sept 7th 2006. We were plesantly surprised by the size of the venue which turned out to be larger than we expected. It was a good load up, which is always a major plus point with the amount of equipment we have, with the stage being easily accessible.
Everyone there from Management to barstaff were fantastic the whole night through. All were very friendly and Gary (management) was thoroughly helpful and co operative ensuring the night ran smoothly.
Primarily a Rock venue, the club is decked out with some fantastic rock memorabilia on the walls which was great to see.. but the fact it is a rock venue did not affect the welcome we received from staff or the audience.
The audience came glammed up ready to party and were a great crowd... full of fun and very enthusiastic!!
The Diamond is certainly one of Nottinghamshires Premier Venues and we look forward to returning next year. |
hi Gary
Just thought I would drop you a line to say what a fantastic night we had. Also I would like to say a big thank you for your hospitality, we only get the odd one or two gigs where we all get looked after.
It's just what our band needs as I think our band is a very hectic band with all the acting, the costume changing, all the props and hydraulics as well as performing the music. Getting looked after with teas, coffees, drinks from behind the bar and food at the end of the night is what we need and goes down well with us we always appreciate that sort of hospitality!
Also I would like to say a big thank you to the people who came to see the band at the diamond and making it a brilliant atmosphere!
THANK YOU (aladinpain)

Hello. Thanks for a great night. What a fantastic venue.
Jeff Leppard have to be the best Def Leppard Tribute I have ever seen. And what a crowd! Don't normally see people invade the stage for a tribute band. Can't wait to come up and see them again.
Take care. Paul

Hi guys,
Just wanted to say what a fantastic night my pals & I had last night at the Jef Leppard gig!
We all agreed that they were one of the best tribute bands we have ever seen.They were energetic, entertaining and SO close to the real Def Leppard. The musicianship was bang on, and considering it was the new
singer's
first gig with them, I think these guys did an amazing job. It was obvious the
crowd loved them -especially as the stage was gate-crashed near the end!
Thanx for a fab night again - can't wait for their return to The Diamond!
Keep up the great work guys! :-) x

Just wanted to say say a huge thank you for such a great night as it was my first ever night at the Diamond. Everyone was really friendly, bar staff were excellent, great venue and what can I say about the band?
Well i'm still buzzing now after an unbelievable show, they were quite simply "awesome" . The atmosphere was electric and my ears have only just recovered. Do you know when they will be coming back to you?
Many thanks, see you very soon

Gary and June, and your daughter (Zowie?)
Met you last night at the above gig, superb gig, superb venue! Had a great evening, and a good drink! Sorry for keeping you up to the small hours, (@ 4.00am I think!).
Good hosts, good accomodation, and good atmosphere all round.
Once again, many thanks. Hope to see you for Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash. Really hope you can get Nazareth booked, as you suggested.
Keep up the good work. Billy Brealey (Sheffield), and Irish Jim, (Burton On Trent)
Take care, Bill. BILLBREALEY@aol.com |

Just a quick thank you to Gary and June for the booking, to all the staff for making us so welcome and to the people of Sutton In Ashfield for making our first gig at The Diamond so memorable.
We had an absolute ball and can't wait to come back again as soon as possible.
We see all kinds of venues (the good, the bad and the downright ugly!) around the country and The Diamond has to be one of the friendliest and most enjoyable.Thanks again to everyone there on the night. See you again soon.

I visited the club recently and would just like to say what a fantastic time I had. The band was amazing, the musicianship was superb, FIRST CLASS. Ii would also like to compliment the staff and everyone at The Diamond for making my stay all the more enjoyable.... what a lovely bunch of people. Great accommodation, excellent food and drinks.
It is not often you find a venue with so much to offer. Thank you all very much and I hope to see you again soon.

Subject: Livewire Friday 19th
Hello Gary, hello all at The Diamond.
Made our bi-annual journey over from Grimsby on Friday 19th to see Livewire....fantastic night as usual, excellent room, didn't get to taste the delights of the diner this time round though, no room for food....that pizza you saw us with at closing time we found at reception!!
Hope to see you all again soon and thanks again for your great hospitality.

I was at the Bon Jovi Experience at the end of may and I took a few photos – unfortunately I had a bit of a disaster as my camera memory card failed on me at some point so I lost most of the photos. I did get some recovered off the card but rather a pitiful number – here they are anyway http://www.lindleypetphotography.co.uk/galleries/bonjoviexperience/index.htm
