Diego Brown And The Good Fairy Biography

It's not often you come across an act as genuinely different, let alone one as entertaining and inventive as this duo.

Colin Irwin wrote in fROOTS: "I found myself transfixed by brother-and-sister act Diego Brown And The Good Fairy". NetRhythms magazine was delighted by their "consistently rewarding music spiked with flashes of genius." This duo has long been a cult darling of north London's acoustic scene. The siblings shot to wider notice when they played four sets in two days at Sidmouth Festival in 2000: billed as 'the Carpenters on a lost weekend in Twin Peaks', the pair went down a storm and since then their appearances at other festivals (including Towersey and Off The Tracks) have been similarly well-received.

The duo's surrealistic vocal gymnastics and harmony, witty narrative lyrics and daunting musicality appeals to listeners of any age and persuasion. Although often labelled as 'roots and folk genre', their music takes in influences as diverse as the Bonzos, Ian Dury, Talking Heads and music hall - think Brummie buskers with a London edginess, a strong pop sensibility and atavistic memories of the BBC Light Program.

Diego Brown And The Good Fairy are first and foremost great live performers, putting on a show which really engages and entertains audiences. Their stage act is mainly based around acoustic guitar and accordion but both artists are mutli-instrumentalists as well as being accomplished singers and songwriters. Their clever, carefully crafted songs speak for themselves. Don't take our word for it - listen to the sample tracks and decide for yourself.
