Diana has performed with the Celtic folk band Iona, and other bands, such as Pomegranate and LongHouse. She has recorded with many local DC-area traditional folk bands, including Al Petteway and Amy White. Diana also performs with the Celtic-psychedelic band Green Crown, and with Owain Phyfe of the New World Renaissance Band.
