The Amy Winehouse Band celebrate the 20th anniversary of Back to Black, performing live at York Barbican.
The Amy Winehouse Band play York Barbican on Thursday 22 October, as part of a tour marking the 20th anniversary of Back to Black.
It's a particular kind of tribute. The band is made up of the original musicians who toured and recorded with Amy Winehouse, led by bassist Dale Davis. They describe themselves as dedicated to preserving her sound — that soulful mix of jazz, R&B and retro-soul she built her career on — and they bring in a vocalist chosen to embody her spirit. It's not a cover band in the usual sense; it's the people who were actually in the room when the records were made, keeping the music going.
Because the tour is built around the anniversary of Back to Black, that album sits at the centre of the set. You'll hear the songs that defined her — 'Rehab' and 'Back to Black' among them — played live by the musicians who worked with her. The whole thing is about keeping her musical legacy alive through authentic performances rather than just a playlist of the hits.
