Drag tribute artist to celebrate Amy Winehouse album anniversary at The Fox, Thurs 7th April

An Amy Winehouse tribute artist is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Back to Black by hosting a special tribute night in Birmingham next month.

Amy LaQueefa, who has been performing her drag shows for just over a year, will be playing host to a special evening with favourites from the famous Back to Black album, in Birmingham’s Gay Village on Thursday 7th April.

This year, Amy Winehouse has been hitting the headlines after the documentary film ‘AMY’, about her life picked up awards at the Oscars and the Grammys. She was also nominated for a BRIT award for ‘British Female Solo Artist’.

Her most famous album, Back to Black, was released 10 years ago this year, and Amy LaQueefa will be celebrating this at the event alongside a DJ set featuring anthems from 2006 in hone to the 10-year anniversary theme.

Lewis Henderson, who performs as Amy LaQueefa, said:

Back to Black was such a big album in Amy’s career and I think it’s important to celebrate it! I perform other songs, not just Winehouse, but Amy is my favourite because her songs are so soulful and everybody could relate to her and loved her

Originally from Coventry, Lewis moved to Birmingham for the fantastic night scene that the city offers. He is now a regular performer in the Gay Village.

Andy, the owner of The Fox, where the event will be held, said:

Lewis is known and loved around the Gay Village and it a pleasure to welcome him here for a special anniversary celebration of Amy Winehouse’s best work. We can’t wait for him to perform.

The event will be held at The Fox, on Lower Essex Street and will start from 8:00pm with Amy starting her set at 8:30pm.

Entry into the event is free, and special drinks offers will be available
