A.C.T

Wow !
What a fantastic night watching
The Amy Winehouse Band on what would have been Amy’s 41st birthday .
Such a special night with my beautiful friend Jillie Willcock & our girls as we all sat in awe watching the incredible talent of Brontë Shande Kirkby & the band .
Jillie & I are remembered the last time that Bronte was on stage at Lighthouse Poole when she was our student School for the Performing Arts .
It was a very proud moment when Bronte fondly told the audience this .
Helping young performers to grow is something that Jillie & I have been doing for over 20 years &
once in a while someone extra special enters your workshop doors .
We knew Bronte had something extraordinary when aged 12 she had already fallen in love with jazz & with Amy’s music & had that voice !
Bronte you are magic 💗
Your voice is incredible & you are the perfect guardian to continue to share the joy of Amy’s music .
What an absolute privilege to see you captivating & inspiring everyone with your dazzling talent & to have been a tiny part in your BIG adventure which is only just beginning 💗
