A warm welcome from Diaspora - Dia daoibh a chairde!
We have been described as a long established “feel good” Irish Band,
which celebrates the music and traditions of the historic Irish Diaspora and entertains with an eclectic mix of Folk and other influences - listen to our music, read about us, judge for yourselves!

A Purple Night was a concert we gave in December 2011 to raise funds for Purple Field Productions (a locally based international charity making astoundingly good films for education in the developing world). We have so far raised over £700 for them.
We obtained a limited number of the specially produced CDs for sale at £7.50 (plus £2.50 P & P) - with all profits going to charity.
See discography for track and other details.
A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Diaspora! Or as they say over the water,
“Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Duit.”
For the New Year we have made some resolutions - these include the final completion of Two Sides of Diaspora, a double album project whose gestation period has easily overtaken the two years of the elephant; a new set of publicity shots (once some of us have recovered from Xmas and the New Year hangovers!); and the selection of some of our best video and audio recordings for uploading onto You Tube. We have tweaked the website so as to enable more rapid updating, and also hope to keep you better informed through Facebook and Twitter.
This promises to be a significant year for the Band and we thank all of you for your support. Slaínthe!
