An evening of live music will honour one of the UK’s most beloved artists.

A tribute to Amy Winehouse will take place at St. James’ Stack in Newcastle, featuring a live show by performer Holly Cosgrove.

Described as "one of the most authentic Amy tribute performers," Ms Cosgrove will perform a selection of Winehouse’s greatest hits, including Back to Black, Rehab, Valerie, You Know I’m No Good, and Tears Dry on Their Own.

The event will also highlight the genres that influenced Winehouse’s work, including soul, hip hop, jazz, and ska.

Fans will have the opportunity to enjoy food from Stack Newcastle’s lineup of street food vendors, including Brack Burger, Bao Down, Acropolis, Holy Duck, Zza Pizzeria, Texas Smoker, Tip Top, Melt, and Clucking Oinks.

The show, titled Absolute Amy, will take place on Thursday, September 17, with doors opening at 6.30pm and the performance beginning at 8pm.

Kevin Walker, events and entertainment director at Stack, said: "Few singers managed to convey raw emotion as well as Amy Winehouse did.

"In terms of both singing and songwriting she was in a class of her own but Holly is the most authentic tribute to her we’ve ever heard.

"For fans of Amy, this really will be a night they will never forget."

Tickets are priced at £7 plus a booking fee.
