Diamond Family Archive + Michael Plater & Roger Dalrymple + Tim Williams

The Diamond Family Archive

The Diamond Family Archive are a unique multi-instrumentalist roving ensemble based around the guitar playing and songwriting of Laurence Collyer. Haunting, fragile, sublime lo-fi melancholia, atmospheric, lazy grace…these are some of the words used to describe their music. Strange and tender songs; personal and pastoral themes; mixed with sleepy-eyed awe creating intense, spectral folk with a distinctly British sound.

Tim Williams

Tim Williams is an acclaimed veteran of the Australian music scene, having been the principal songwriter and front person for Death Valley PTA, Colourwheel, Goldentone, The Low-Fi Cowboys, Tender Fall, and now The Endless Winter. His work is an enticing blend of melodic guitar pop with a nod towards alternative country and indie-folk. Music critics suggest he performs “heartfelt songs that deal with emotional loss, broken relationships and yearning”. He creates “a mood that is sensitive, intense and graceful”. Tim has played at major music festivals including The Big Day Out, The Adelaide Fringe, and The Harvest Festival and has supported such legendary acts as Bjork, The Stone Roses, The Go-Betweens, The Church, Ed Kuepper, and Robert Forster over the course of his career. The debut album from “Tim Williams and the Endless Winter”, Dark Sky Reserve, is out now.
