In the wake of Amy Winehouse’s death on July 23, 2011, at the shockingly young age of 27, her family took solace in her astonishing 2006 appearance on RTÉ’s Other Voices, in the tiny Church of St James in Dingle. The singer's mother, Janis, said at the time that the Amy she saw on screen from Co Kerry was the Amy who used to come home for Sunday lunch.
The English singer and songwriter was 23 when she came to Dingle, and she had just released her second album, Back to Black. She was on the cusp of international stardom, and her drinking and drug use had already made her a tabloid regular.
