The Diddley Idols are the New York based duo with the full band sound. Dave Barckow (Queens, NY) and Louise Barry (Dublin, Ireland). After a chance encounter in 2012, Dave and Louise’s undeniable chemistry made them inseparable and together they formed “The Diddley Idols” in 2013, dropping the “American” from Dave’s previous title. As two lead vocalists, they added Dave’s foot operated drum kit and guitar and Louise’s ukulele and percussion to finish out their sound. A live “tour de force” and “proof that great things do come in small packages!”
“With hundreds of pop, rock and Irish songs, The Diddley Idols are a fully customizable band for every occasion. They played every single party I have had, including most recently, my Wedding. My guests always rave about Dave and Louise.” ~ Mary
