Welcome to the world of Amy Grace…
June 19, 2012It’s a sunny day in London town. After a boat ride on the Thames and a cheeky pint to celebrate, I give you the long awaited website of Amy Grace.
It gives me great pleasure to introduce the many, marvelous musicians who have helped to create and capture my songs. Over the last few years, their encouragemnt and enthusiasm has produced a live album, a tour of New Zealand and most recently, a music festival in London. I could not have done this one my own.
Presenting…
The Famous Players
In 2010 we recorded a live album with Orange Studio. We set ourselves up backstage at The Court Theatre in Christchurch, New Zealand. Surrounded by props and fairy lights, The Famous Players and I serenaded a gracious and warm audience.
The band:
Lex French – Trumpet
Tyson Smith– Electric Guitar
Daniel Kennedy – Drums
Dougal Cannard – Bass
Amiria Grenell – Backing Vocals
Hannah Wheeler – Backing Vocals
The A Team
We first met on a hill in Hampstead Heath. After a day in the sun, we decided to combine our instruments and play together at The Attic in Hackney. Our debut was greeted with enthusiasm and the four of us look forward to our next gig in July.
The band:
Anna Kristoferson – Accordion and Backing Vocals
Amit Bhandari – Violin
Andy Potter – Guitars
The Bambinas
This collaboration is thanks to a dear friend, Peter Doggart. Once upon a time I played at the most wonderful venue; The Mahogany Bar in Wilton’s Music Hall. Peter was doing sound that evening and by the end of the night we had decided the best thing to do was start a band. After a coffee with Tom and a slice of cake with Mel, the Bambinas began! It’s early days, but I’m quietly excited.
The band:
Tom Rosenfeld – Double Bass
Melanie Borsack – Saxophone
Peter Doggart – Drums
Till next time.
Aroha,
Amy Grace
