A Tribute to Amy

If you have spent any time in Brighton, you likely know that the Concorde 2 is a staple for live music right on the seafront. It is often where you find touring acts or specific tribute shows that aim to recreate a particular sound or era. On Friday, 30 April 2027, the venue is hosting a show dedicated to the music of Amy Winehouse, titled Tribute to Amy. The performance features Laura Jane Butler, who takes on the role of the late singer, backed by a seven-piece live band.

What makes this specific show stand out in the tribute circuit is its endorsement. It is the only production of its kind that has the official backing of Amy’s parents, Janis and Mitch Winehouse. The setlist is designed to cover the breadth of her discography, pulling tracks from Frank, Back to Black, and Lioness: Hidden Treasures. You can expect to hear well-known songs like "Valerie," "Tears Dry On Their Own," "Rehab," "Love Is A Losing Game," "You Know I'm No Good," and the title track, "Back to Black." Beyond her own hits, the band also incorporates some of the jazz and soul standards that Amy frequently performed, such as Ella Fitzgerald’s "Someone To Watch Over Me," Grover Washington’s "Mister Magic," Sam Cooke’s "Cupid," and The Specials' "Monkey Man."

The show is scheduled to start at 19:30. If you are planning to attend, keep in mind the venue's age policy: it is open to those aged 14 and over. However, there is a specific requirement for anyone under 16, who must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or older. That adult needs to provide valid identification and leave contact details at the door. Additionally, both the minor and the accompanying adult are required to wear an identification wristband throughout the event. While the exact ticket pricing is currently listed as to be confirmed, the event is ticketed, so you will need to book in advance to secure your spot.
