DIANA SILVEIRA – LIVE IN COLCHESTER
An intimate night with one of the most exciting and distinctive voices currently emerging on the UK live music scene.
Portuguese singer Diana Silveira is difficult to put into a box. Rock, blues, soul and psychedelia collide in a voice capable of moving from almost whispered vulnerability to extraordinary power.
And right now, people are beginning to notice.
In October, Diana appeared at the official Syd Barrett 80th Birthday Celebration at Cambridge Corn Exchange, performing alongside artists including Kula Shaker and Soft Machine.
Her extraordinary interpretation of Pink Floyd's “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” became one of the moments of the night, earning the concert's only standing ovation and subsequently attracting more than 1.5 million views across social media.
One reviewer called it a “genuinely moving, spellbinding version.”
Diana also appears on the official Clowns & Jugglers: The Songs of Syd Barrett album with her reimagining of “Octopus”, on a collection featuring music from an extraordinary cast including David Bowie, David Gilmour, Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets, Kula Shaker and many more.
But Diana is far more than an interpreter of other people's songs.
A compelling songwriter and magnetic live performer, she combines the grit of blues, the freedom of classic rock, the emotion of soul and a subtle psychedelic edge. Her performances aren't about simply reproducing recordings — they're about taking songs somewhere different.
Now comes the opportunity to experience that voice up close.
For this special Colchester show, Diana comes to the intimate surroundings of Three Wise Monkeys, right in the heart of the city.
No arena.
No giant stage.
No watching from 100 metres away.
Just a remarkable singer, great musicians and a room small enough to feel every note.
Three Wise Monkeys has established itself as one of Colchester's best-loved homes for live music, and this promises to be one of those nights where the setting is every bit as important as the performance.
If you've discovered Diana through Shine On You Crazy Diamond, this is your chance to discover the artist behind that performance.
If you haven't discovered her yet, this might be the perfect place to start.
