Mainly Winehouse announce winter 2011 tour.
Dates available now

Paying tribute to the late Amy Winehouse are Dublin band, Mainly Winehouse.  This energetic ensemble will blow you away, with a mix of "Winehouse" tracks, a good dose of Motown and modern, popular soul.
Since Amy’s tragic death in July 2011, she’s topping the charts again.
‘Back to Black’ has just become the UK’s biggest selling album of the 21st century. Mainly Winehouse draw from this Grammy award-winning masterpiece, playing all of the hits; from ‘Valerie’ and ‘Rehab’ to ‘You Know I’m no Good’ and the ever emotive ballad, ‘Love is a Losing Game’. They also play many of the jazzier tracks from Amy’s first album. But of course their set is not exclusively “Amy”.  Expect to hear upbeat Motown, from Stevie Wonder and Tina Turner to Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye. The band also include an eclectic mix of today’s chart-toppers with Amy’s timeless style, from Aloe Blaac’s ‘I need a dollar’ to Imelda May’s ‘Tainted Love’. On vocals, Tamara Downey keeps it authentic and soulful in a breathtaking style so reminiscent of the great soul singers Motown has produced, and of course Amy herself. The extensively experienced Mainly Winehouse band consists of EoghanDeHoog on Guitar (The Company, Red Square), Rob Grimes on Piano/Keys (Dublin Gospel Choir, Pretzel Logic), Paul Moran on bass(The Spiders), and Colin Downey on Drums (Dirty Sanchez, Tabularasa). Drawing from their roots in Funk and Gospel, to Jungle and Hip Hop, the abundant quality in this group cannot be denied. The Mainly Winehouse horn section boasts two of the top Irish brass players on the scene, Peter Dobai (Saxophone) and Martin Rhodes (Cornet). They effortlessly top the band with the tightest horn lines and funkiest breaks. With the sharpest rhythm section around, topped with blistering horns, this Dublin seven-piece delivers everything one could want in a night of Trip Hop, Swing-Soul and R&B. Squint your eyes and it could just be the Rehab Queen herself
