THE AMY WINEHOUSE BAND
Performing live with orchestra

Lighthouse Poole is delighted to announce the return of The Amy Winehouse Band to play the Concert Hall on Saturday 15 November.
Having raised the rafters on their visit last September, the Band – lead by long-time Amy Winehouse MD and friend, bassist Dale Davis – is coming back with an orchestra in tow!
Amy’s original band was with her live and on record all the way from her very beginnings performing in London pubs to the GRAMMYs and the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, but fans on selected dates (including Poole) on this latest tour will see her music performed as never before, with a live orchestra.
And the tour will culminate in a particularly poignant performance at the Roundhouse in Camden, Amy’s home, where she made her last public performance in 2011 appearing on stage to perform with her goddaughter, Dionne Bromfield.
Keeping Amy’s musical legacy alive and providing younger fans with the chance to hear these modern classic songs in person for the first time, The Amy Winehouse Band performs songs from throughout her extraordinary career, including Rehab, Back to Black, Tears Dry On Their Own, Valerie, Love Is A Losing Game, and more.
The band is led by Amy’s long-term musical director and bass player Dale Davis, and both he and the band were musical consultants on the recent biopic ‘Back to Black’ starring Marisa Abela and directed by Sam Taylor Johnson.
Dale Davis says, “I and Amy’s band are so excited to be touring the UK, celebrating her music and legacy with you all, but this time in the company of some of the country’s greatest symphony orchestras. It’s going to be very special to perform her songs, including these new stunning orchestral arrangements. The orchestral sound was used on Amy’s recordings, but we didn’t ever have the chance to play them this way with her. It will be lovely to do that now.”
The band is fronted by the incredible vocalist Bronte Shandé, who grew up in nearby Moreton and who Dale came across in much a similar way to how he originally came across Amy, while the show features on-screen visuals and unique footage.
