  • Amy Leads The Charge Home & Abroad

    Amy led the March on Wednesday night for Scotland’s historic football match with Argentina. Singing ‘Flower Of Scotland’ to a patriotic crown at Hampden Park Amy was delighted to both perform and attend the game…..even though it unfortunately ended in defeat. Next week sees Amy away from home turf again performing in Brussels, Cologne and Antwerp before heading off to Italy and Spain. She’ll be back in time for her rescheduled Newcastle headline show on Dec 16 and Southampton on Dec 19 in preparation for her massive Glasgow Barrowlands gigs Dec 20 & 21.

    Meanwhile we thought you might like to hear about Amy’s recent Avo Session in Basel, Swizterland. Head over to the site http://www.avo.ch/en/index.php to read a roundup and see a few pics.

  • Flower of Scotland

    This Wednesday looks to be another landmark in the long and bloodied history of the great Scottish Nation. Well maybe that’s a bit exaggerated, but it’s a day of significance all the same when Scotland take on Argentina at the national ground, Hampden in a friendly match. It’s the first match with the infamous Diego Maradona skippering the Argentine team since the famous ‘hand of God’ incident which knocked Scotland’s ‘Auld Enemy’ England out of the 1986 world cup. Anyway, to mark the event, Amy will be performing Scotland’s national anthem ‘Flower of Scotland’ live at the stadium. You can catch the match live on Sky 1 this Wednesday from 7.30pm.

  • Amy Rocks Holland

    Amy played a sold out show earlier this week at Holland’s Heineken Hall. In front of a crowd of more than five and a half thousand fans Amy showed Europe what they’ve been missing recently and gave some diehard UK fans a taster for her homecoming Glasgow Christmas shows. It’s Switzerland tonight (Nov 13) and then Amy’s heading to France to appear on the massive ‘Star Academy’ show on Friday (their version of Fame Academy!) – check back for some footage of the show.

    don't know if you'll get back to me on this, but al give it a go!!

    I was at ur Carling Academy, Glasgow gig back in May. It was fantastic.

    I use a wheelchair and I recently tried to get tickets for your Dec gigs at the Barrowlands, but I was told that disabled access wasn't great at that venue, so I decided not to bother for this reason only!!

    I just wondered whether you have gigs at more accessible venues in Scotland, lined up in the near future?

    Cheers,
    Keith x
