Rob is 28 (but needs his beard to actually look like it), loves music, adventures and spontaneous people. His scribblings are about these things too, so if you share his interests, stay tuned!

Amy is back. For one night. Tomorrow. Back in 2006 on a stormy December night, Amy Winehouse flew to the remote, south-western corner of Ireland to perform for Other Voices, an acclaimed Irish TV music series filmed in Dingle every winter. Amy took to the stage of Saint James’s church, capacity 85, and wowed the small, packed crowd with a searing, acoustic set of songs from Back to Black. After leaving the stage, a relaxed and happy Amy spoke about her music and influences – Mahalia Jackson, Sarah Vaughan, Ray Charles and the Shangri-Las to name a few.

All of this was filmed and turned into a documentary that will be shown in the Melkweg cinema tomorrow night, for only €7. No plans yet? Go see this film that showcases not only Amy herself, but the musical geniuses that inspired her to forge her own jazz pop style.
