A life sized statue of Amy Winehouse has been unveiled in Camden, North London, three years after the singers death to mark what would have been her 31st birthday. Her father Mitch said she was 'in love with Camden' and it is the place most fans associate with her. Crowds paid tribute to the legendary musician as the statue, complete with high heels and her iconic 'beehive', was revealed to the public.
Arena recorded a rare interview with Amy Winehouse when she visited the town of Dingle on Ireland's West Coast back in 2011. In a tiny church in the remote town, Amy sand an intimate set as part of the 'Other Voices' festival held every winter. To a crowd of no more than 80 people, it was a memorable gig.
