Natalie Diamond is one of five daughters born in Burton on Trent, but due to her Father's Naval career she found herself living in many parts of the UK. Growing up she showed keen interests in gymnastics and music. Her musical ability gained her a much prized position as violinist with The Gosport Orchestra but her real love was in country music. In her 20's, Natalie emigrated to Canada where she began to do something about her other passion which is song writing. She wrote for two Canadian bands and her music was well received by their audiences.
Since settling back in England she has made real headway on the country circuit, performing mostly around the Midlands area, but now beginning to spread her wings further a field . The response from the UK circuit has been far in excess of her wildest dreams and they really seem to have taken her to their heart with “standing ovations” a regular occurrence. She now plays guitar in the show and is currently working hard to introduce the fiddle to some of her songs. Her dress on stage is impeccable spending what ever it takes to look the part ..and she does !
Her main influences have been Lorrie Morgan, Reba and Tanya Tucker and performs some of their songs in her show with the same vigour and passion of a true professional.
At present, Natalie has four album releases and is presently working on a new one, of all original songs, that is due for release late 2005.

Danny Frank is a solo country singer/musician/songwriter using backing tracks proffesionally made for him by country and Western musicians, and with many years experience in the world of country music he has been on the country scene for some time.
Although he has worked with bands through the years (which has never worked out due to band members having work commitments, or not willing to travel), he has stayed solo, so when he is performing or on the recordings everything you hear is Danny Frank.

Travis Logan - Most country music fans in the UK and Europe will know that Travis Logan is one of the most well respected singers of pure country music around today.

Born and bred in Derbyshire in the 1960's to a mining family Travis had his first taste of performing at the age of six, singing in the school choir and after having been bought his first guitar that same year, started taking guitar lessons.

 Bob Morgan was born in Birkenhead but, in his early childhood, moved to Wallasey, where he still lives.

Around the age of 15 a school friend invited Bob along to listen in at a rehearsal with his band. During the practice the singer’s microphone broke down and he went off to get a replacement. In his absence Bob’s friend repaired the original microphone and, whilst awaiting the singer’s return, Bob was invited to have a go at a couple of songs. As the singer, on his way back, neared the house he heard Bob and fearing that the band was trying to replace him, stormed off in a huff never to return! A new career was born there and then!
This schoolboy band would practice at Bob’s house and store their equipment there. Not one to miss an opportunity, Bob began to learn to play the drums alongside his other interest in the guitar, in time, becoming accomplished with both instruments in addition to singing.
Over the years Bob has played in various “pop/60s/rock & roll” bands such as “The Mersey Specials” and “Chunky” as well as “depping” with many other “Merseybeat” outfits. Allied to this have been spells with a comedy/cabaret group (Past & Present), front man for a well known North West country rock band, “Charlie Boy” (later to become “Steelin’ Time”) and “Gazzmatazz” – a blues/jazz/soul combo. In addition to music, Bob also performed in pantomime throughout the 80’s invariably cast as the villain apart from 2 memorable occasions as dame (without the beard!).

Bob had always liked country music but it was whilst touring US army/air force bases in Germany and Turkey in the late 60s/early 70s that he was introduced to “the real stuff” by the US servicemen and eventually, a few years ago, began to perform country music with a long time guitarist friend who convinced him that he should have been doing it 30 years earlier!! The duo was the “Country Gentlemen” and when his colleague moved on to other projects Bob found that he was a fully professional solo act almost by default! This might have been the end of Bob’s development until he found himself meeting the same chap at club after club and being hounded into “joining our band”!! The band turned out to be the remnants of the former award winning group “Western Union” and they reformed with Bob as front man – they are now known as “Bob Morgan’s Western Reunion” and Bob fits in the odd job with them as and when solo commitments allow.

A big fan of the more “traditional” style of country music Bob’s act features songs from the likes of Alan Jackson, George Strait, Brooks & Dunn along with a nod to George Jones/Merle Haggard/Charlie Pride and Hank Williams.
