Children’s entertainer Charlotte Diamond certainly enjoys coming back to Delta. “I’ve always loved to come back. It just brings back really great memories,” said Diamond, a North Delta Secondary grad. She has two shows coming up in Delta, one at Genesis Theatre in Ladner on Sunday, Jan. 20 and another at North Delta Secondary on Saturday, Jan. 26. Diamond, a longtime Richmond resident, will be playing songs from her latest CD 24 Carrot Diamond, a best-of collection. She’ll sing songs in French, Spanish and English. Diamond, who said she’s a strong supporter of French immersion, said the joy of singing leads to a love of language.

Well known children’s entertainer Charlotte Diamond is performing in Ladner on Sunday.
“The singing makes it so easy to get the flow of the language and the vocabulary,” she said. Diamond, who has a background in dance as well as singing, noted the audience would be encouraged to join in the fun at the upcoming shows.
“There’s a feeling of just getting everybody involved and singing. The songs are easy to sing and they’re very rhythmic.” Her son Matt, who sings and plays electric guitar, recently started performing with her. “I’m a real proud
momma, I definitely am. I love the sound of the harmonies.” Diamond has released 13 recordings and won multiple awards over her career, including a Juno for 10 Carrot Diamond in 1986. Diamond performs at Genesis Theatre on Sunday, Jan. 20 at 2 p.m. Her show at North Delta Secondary, 11447-82nd Ave., takes place Saturday, Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. The shows are sponsored by the Delta School District. Tickets are $2 and on sale at local schools, including Ladner Elementary, Cliff Drive Elementary and South Park Elementary in South Delta as well as Chalmers, Devon Gardens, Richardson and Sunshine Hills elementary schools in North Delta.
