St Edmund Campion Church to host Nostalgia Night

After hit performances in London's West End and at Norden Farm, Maidenhead-born and bred Cormac Diamond brings Nostalgia Night to St Edmund Campion Church on Friday, January 30.

Cormac was a pupil at St Edmund Campion School and this Nostalgia Night is a homecoming for Cormac, who grew up going to mass at St Edmund Campion Church as a boy.

Cormac Diamond went on to train at Oxford University and honed his musical theatre acting skills at the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he played Jack in Into the Woods, PT Barnum in Cy Baby and Romeo in Boundless as the Sea.

At Oxford University he played Adam Hochburg an American in Paris, Mark in Fetid, Seymour Krelborn in The Little Shop of Horrors, Anthony Hope in Sweeney Todd, Jamie Wellerstein in The Last Five Years andAlgernon Moncrieff in The Importance of Being Ernest.

In 2025, he made his professional debut as Tobias Ragg in Barrie Kosky's production of Sweeney Todd at the Opera National du Rhin in Strasbourg and last month he performed to sold out audiences in Carols By Candlelight, in the Al Wasl arena of Expo City Dubai, playing retired elf, Mr Jingle.

This baritone singer and his equally talented friends, with training in jazz, musical theatre and classical styles, will perform an evening of songs that take the audience on a journey down memory lane.

A variety of music from across the decades will delight with live accompaniment and professional vocal panache. It’s heartfelt, witty and warm.

This uplifting evening will leave you with a smile on your face and a tune in your head. For one night only, we’re bringing the West End to your doorstep without having to use the Elizabeth Line.

Get your tickets here.

Proceeds will be donated towards essential church maintenance at Saint Edmund Campion Church.

Parish Priest, Father Liam Cummins said “It’s a wonderful opportunity to open up the church to the wider Maidenhead community, to celebrate a fabulous musical night.

“I knew Cormac as a teenager and seeing his accomplishments in a career that he is passionate about, is truly inspiring.”

Cormac said: “Getting to perform a show that I’ve created, in the place I grew up, to raise money so that people can continue to experience the wonderful school and church of St. Edmund Campion is something that I am delighted to do. I’ll always be grateful for the community and support here for me and my family when I was growing up.”
