WHITE DIAMOND

Previously unpublished review of White Diamond at Devizes? Corn Exchange in 1980, by Perry M of Vague - thanks to Tom Vague for this: 'First impressions are a load of longhaired yobbos with musical instruments. The gig hasn’t started yet, but I’ve got the feeling they are going to be crap – preconceived ideas rule ok! Action start – A bloke counts up to one - several times - and does a Richie Blackmore impression - not impressed, especially when he continues doing it. Perry goes to the toilet - probably to be sick by the sound of it. When I return still nothing is happening. After half an hour’s silence there is a burst of drums then silence again. A Campbell Road nutter walks in. White Diamond eventually started with ‘Bye Bye Johnny’ followed by ‘Alright Now’. I’m beginning to wonder about leaving halfway through the second number – very Quo influenced, boring, wailing, awful. Then they did a very inefficient Cars’ cover. The bass was too heavy and “F-----g awful voice” quote Tim Getting?' Footnote: I don’t know what Perry was doing at a bikers gig but it sounds like they have a really fun time in Salisbury. This is probably why they go around in packs of 20 glassing blokes minding their own business. I know some bikers are alright but for the one who glassed Mike… one day you might get a braincell.
