This week’s Diamond Cast takes some unexpected turns!
We’re launching the official Diamond Black Street Teams – and inviting you to get involved. Then, it’s story time as we reveal the bands we love that might surprise you… from Nik Kershaw, to Erasure, to The Beatles!
Along the way, we talk about imitation in music, Ben shares his latest book recommendation, Vincent reveals his unusual “office for the week,” and we give some heartfelt shoutouts to our amazing community.
