It is a personal story written about a universal truth, an affirmation of the continuance of love and the ripple effect that our actions have on others around us. Love goes on \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multi award winning songwriter and singer, Dianne Coombes, has loved music and singing since she can remember, with her family get-togethers always being a musical affair. Dianne&#8217;s father played in dance bands all her life and she grew up invading band rehearsals at every opportunity. She started singing with her Dad&#8217;s band from the age of 14 at all the country hall dances, balls, and the local RSL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2016 she released her debut album &#8216;Walk With Me&#8217;, produced by Lindsay Waddington, which received great reviews and won prestigious awards. 2016 was also the year Dianne&#8217;s dear husband died of lung cancer and her world was shattered. Music became her refuge and Dianne poured herself into songwriting in an attempt to survive her grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eight years down the track and she has completed a body of work that she is extremely proud of. Singles released from the album so far have enjoyed great radio success with &#8216;Small Town With A Big Heart&#8217; co-written with Angus Gill, hitting the top spot on the Country Songs Top 40 Australian Airplay Chart. Three other releases have spent a prodigious amount of time in the Top 10 and have also been featured on ABC programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2025 has had a great start for Dianne who was a finalist in seven categories of the Independent Country Music Awards of Australia, finalist in the Australian Bush Balladeers Association Music Excellence Awards, and finalist in the Tamworth Songwriters Association &#8211; an award she previously won in 2017 as well as a finalist for five other years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her upcoming album &#8216;Ripples&#8217; is a testament to the privilege of love and life experience, amplified by the amazing vision and production skills of Angus Gill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dianne Coombes Releases Title Track &#8216;Ripples On A Pond&#8217; From Her Upcoming Album &#8216;Ripples&#8217; Written as a tribute to her husband &#8211; the love of her life &#8211; Dianne shares the story of who he was, what he stood for, and what he taught her.
