Victoria Cluskey Presents Back In Black
The Maybe Winehouse Band was originally formed in 2007 and have performed across the UK and Europe, including Universities, fairs, festivals, theatres, pubs, casino’s, hotels and holiday camps. They have supported many famous chart acts on their travels, including ‘The Feeling’ ‘Scouting for girls’ ‘Edith Bowman’ ‘Taio Cruz’ and many more. The Band have also had two incredibly successful Theatre tours of Holland.
The show takes you through the massive hits from the Grammy winning album ‘Back to Black’ as well as tracks from her debut album ‘Frank’ and Lioness: Hidden Treasures. They also include some of the many collaborations Amy did with other singers in her short career and some classic up tempo ska tracks to complete a vibrant set list. Lead singer Vicky not only has a fantastic voice, she looks the part, and has perfected Amys mannerisms to worrying accuracy although she won’t be slurring her words and forgetting lyrics (too much!). The band have also appeared on MTV and been talked about by many of the major BBC radio DJ’s
Maybe Winehouse perform as a 6 piece band consisting of Drums, Keys, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Saxophone and Vocals, this fully live show recreates the distinctive jazzy sounds of Amy Winehouse
