BBC Children in Need Soul Special

Tony Blackburn Koko

November 14th, Diane Shaw was booked by Tony Blackburn to perform for the BBC Children in Need Soul Night at KOKO in London.

Diane and her band shared the bill with Soul Legends Alexander O’Neal, The Real Thing, Shakatak, as well as TV stars Alexandra Burke, David Grant and more..

Performing to a full house, she sang all the hits from her two No.1 Albums live with a full band, and it really was a night to remember.

This is the second time Tony and the BBC have invited Diane to perform at the special Soul night, the last time being 3 years ago, where she shared the stage with Soul Legends such as Lemar, The Three Degrees, Jaki Graham, Kenny Thomas, Shaun Escoffery, Tony Momrelle among others.

Both nights were broadcast live on BBC Radio London, and filmed for the BBC Children in Need TV show.

Hi Andy Thanks for a great night on Friday the party was a great success and was enjoyed by all especially Rick & Cath who's Golden Wedding party it was.  I have spoke to and seen many of the party goers since Friday & their first comment is "what a great band".  Please pass on my thanks to Diane & the Band for the superb and very professional performance which I have no doubt made it a night to remember for all. Hope to see you again soon as I have had a couple of inquiries about the band in respect of up & coming wedding parties. Kind Regards Gavin Hutchinson

Wedding of Lottie & Alex 26/09/2016

Lottie & Alex Hunter
Dear Andy and Diane, We truly cannot thank you enough for absolutely taking the evening part of our wedding by storm on 10th September. It was one hell of an awesome show you guys put on and we loved every single second of your set. The dance floor was over-flowing from start to finish which very rarely happens at weddings! I for one couldn't stop dancing away. We also really appreciate you learning and singing some of our favourite tracks over and above what you had already planned. We had so many people come up to us, asking who were our incredible band.  So big thanks from us both for putting the icing on the cake to the best day of our lives. We haven't stopped re-living every moment since, and now we are back from honeymoon, the reality of normal life seems rather dull! I have attached a photo from our photographer of us up on stage with you, doing our 'First Song' - which I think went surprisingly well?! Hope you enjoyed yourselves and would love to know when you're next playing in London. Very best and many thanks again Lottie & Alex xx
