Saw her ages back when she was touring with jamie cullum and gywneth herbert who's a good friend of mine.

We went out on the piss afterwards. Jamie Cullum is a cocky little shite and needs a slap, Amy was a lary pisshead. This was about four years back before she was famous.

She looked belting on stage, had real presence bass guitar strapped over here, moody look in her eyes and a voice that filled the room with that powerful husky quality she has.

Incredibly talented and very unique. Shame though, I think she may well self destruct, and the tabloids are licking their lips at every miserable episode.

There were articles a few years back complaining that british music was too tame - our rocks stars were vegan teetotallers or wussy boys. I think the press are revelling in the dohertys and winehouses in the music biz these days. We need rockstars to indulge in a fantasy lifestyle or we don't take them seriously.

Bit weird that if you ask me.
