Jim Diamond


Glasgow, 1953, he Scottish singer/songwriter, Jim Diamond was born.  His career in music began early at the young age of 15 when he was a member of his own band, The Method and also lead in another Glasgow based band Jade.  But it was not until 1982, after being part of several different bands, that Diamond had his 'big-break.' 



It was in this year that Diamond for the group Ph.D. (Phillips, Hymas and Diamond), Tony Hymas being the keyboard/piano player and Simon Phillip being the drummer.  The band was singed to the label WEA Records and released the song "I Won't Let You Down," the song was a hit and sold millions of records.  Unfortunately the band went their own ways when Diamond was diagnosed with hepatitis. 
However this was to favour Diamond, he was singed to the record label A&M as a solo artist.  The first song he released, "I Should Have Known Better" went straight to number one here in the UK and in Latin America.  Another hit was then achieved, with the Theme tune from Boon, "Hi Ho Silver" which reached number 5. 
Diamonds career continued with more song releases and television appearances and he is still around today.  He has now partnered up with a saxophonist Chris "Snake" Davis and released his first album of 11 years in 2005, Souled and Healed. 
Jim recently played a gig here in Glasgow, in City Hall, and is playing three in June with "Snake" Davis, check out the gig section on his official website for more details and the chance to purchase a ticket.
