Review:
I remember, going to the first gig because I had “The White Album”, and Borrowed Time had been released – I was heavily into going to see live bands then as now -. and I was impressed how good they were live. Whilst Colin Kimberley and Duncan Scott kept order and provided a strong backbone of rhythm, Sean Harris’ vocals soared (and were quite astonishingly good compared to many of his contemporaries) and Brian Tatler’s white Flying V chugged one minute and howled the next, always controlled and precise. The resulting overall sound showed a maturity way beyond their years and Diamond Head seemed destined for greatness.
