'Young, feisty, boisterous punky art pop that has a touch of the Victoria Wood and Razorlights about it and it’s rather delightful' 
As played on BBC 6 Music thanks to Chris Hawkins.
'DIDI is the solo project of the very talented Lauren Deakin Davies, a musician, singer and producer..' Top Fave, Fresh on the Net July 2017.
Back Off was released on 28th August and 'proves that the three minute pop song is a alive and kicking with its most excellent guitar playing (Franz Ferdinand would be proud).
Lovely shouty backing vocals and sweet drummy drum-ness and the joy is DIDI works a really great dynamic range and varies the ebb and flow of the song throughout." Johnno Casson 

‘Another cracking pop/punk feminist statement from the ever impressive DIDI’ Matt Williams 3M show, Hoxton Radio

'Her music – feisty, provocative and exciting – demands a hearing. And her energy, well, that’s something else. Not only is every note, every word, delivered with guts and gusto, but her writing is rapid-fire, creating enviable momentum. Jump on and enjoy the ride' Angry Baby

‘DIDI (Lauren Deakin Davies) continues her ascension to greatness with new single 'Back Off' , a guitar driven, empowering post/punk anthem that tackles mansplaining and the subjection of women with her usual spiky grace…The song should be adopted as a mantra by young women worldwide’. Music Match UK.

This track was written when I had just got off the train after this guy was shouting as this drunk girl on the way home from London, and he starting dissing her education and race and it really pissed me off. so yeah :') 
Produced  by Rhiannon Mair and written and performed by me.

'DIDI’s got a very unique thing going on that I really dig, sounds really cool, great voice’. Matthew from Wheatus
DIDI launched herself onto the solo scene after performing in bands for the previous eleven years. Just 22, DIDI decided to perform solo after writing a song unexpectedly in March of this year, (Sorry) which she liked so much that she decided she wanted to release it. The response has been enthusiastic, with her follow up single (Awkward) being adopted as an LGBTQ anthem by DIVA magazine & 3 radio plays on BBC 6 Music after catching the ear of morning presenter Chris Hawkins and Tom Robinson.
Based in Hertfordshire,  DIDI's self released, self penned and until recently self produced tracks tracks are varied and demonstrates a relaxed engaging stage presence. Nominations for Best Solo Female artist in the NMG Awards and Best Indie Act in Radio Wigwam awards.

He's Screaming his head off
And he's aiming at you
Yeah he's shouting his lungs out till his face turns blue
Because he has decided what you're allowed to do
And talking too loud is out of his rules

'Cause he knows so much more then you
We just want you to know
That we're sick of being round you and we want you to go

We just want you to see that we're doing fine without you and we want you to leave

ohhhh
We just want you to know
oohhhhh
That we're sick of being round you and we want you to go

I can tell by the tone of your voice you don't like me
But I'd rather stick knives in my  eyes then endure this
For one more second of your behaviour
Because I am trying so hard here not to hate you 
Because we are so much more than that
We just want you to know
That we're sick of being round you and we want you to go
We just want you to see that we'er doing find without you and we want you to leave

Cause' we are so, much better than this
so take a step back and you won't regret it
Oh we are so much better than this

Oh Back Off!
We just want you to know
That we're sick of bein' round you and we want you to go

Back Off

Month of Sundays

In a month of Sunday’s from today,
We’ll gather in a crowd,
And on a better day the bands will play,
When singing is allowed,
We’ll fix a day of meeting for the lovers never kissed,
And we’ll keep the tree till August for the Christmas that we missed,
And the finest thing that anyone will say:
The month of Sunday’s happened yesterday,

In a month of Sunday’s by and by,
We’ll be carrying a cure,
I’ve missed the mouths of everyone,
The masks will stay indoors,
The blonde man in the big house will do more than just pretend,
And the figures of the fallen ones won’t fill the news at ten,
This month of Sundays really had its day,
More like a month of Mondays anyway,

We'll think about the skin we're in,
And the colour code that caused a world of sin,
We'll live as souls beyond our screens,
It could be easily forgotten,
That it took us being speechless to finally find the words,
And it took us being house cats for the lions to emerge,

So give a hand for healers whose handling we trust,
Take a moment for the makers whose wings are making rust,
One and all who wouldn't want to say?
That the month of Sundays happened,

Like a feather of lead or a hole in the head it brought us to the floor,
Like a shot at the stars or a pile up of cars we didn't travel far,
But raise the mask and a half-full glass, I learned from my cocoon,
That patience has a way,
Of colouring the grey,
Tomorrow will be better than the last,
And we'll see the month of Sundays in the past,

Month Of Sundays DEMO

LEWIS SALLOWS is a saxophonist, improviser and composer based in London, hailing from Hertfordshire. His projects range from the song-based Lewis Sallows Project, to his Crosswire Project, (an ambitious, cross-disciplinary project combing jazz and landscape artwork). He’s currently working on music for his new octet, featuring some of London’s finest musicians, to debut later this year.

As an up-and-coming presence within the UK jazz scene, he has hosted weekly jam sessions at 1000 Trades and held a monthly residency at the Loft Lounge during 4 years living in Birmingham, through which he has performed with renowned musicians such as Percy Pursglove, Andy Panayi & Jay Phelps, also performing regularly with The Midlands Youth Jazz Orchestra and The National Youth Jazz Orchestra.

He is a very active composer, having recently written a suite of music for chamber orchestra and saxophone, inspired by the landscape artwork of Lawrence Coulson. This suite premiered alongside projections of Lawrence’s artwork in March 2019 at Centrala, in Birmingham. He writes for his own groups which perform in London and has had work performed at Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Trondheim Jazz Festival in Norway and Elb Jazz Festival in Hamburg.
