This unique film will also feature an in-depth interview with Amy, where she speaks openly about her music, her influences, her life and her future. Much of the compelling material captured here has never been seen before.

When Amy Came to Dingle is a gentle and fascinating portrait of one of musics most extraordinary talents, who passed away in July of this year. The programe steps back to a time and a place when vitality, promise and potential were Amys calling cards, before her personal troubles overtook her enormous musical achievements and tabloid headlines defined her life. Just before 9pm on December 3rd, 2006, Amy Winehouse took to the stage at St. James Church and in an emotional and personal performance she claimed the hearts of the tiny audience that packed the church to its rafters.

Immediately after her performance she left the stage a relaxed and happy Amy Winehouse, crossed the road to Benners Hotel where she spoke with the shows host, John Kelly, about her music, her influences and her plans for the immediate future. She devoured a plate of oysters from Lord Bakers next door and visited one of Dingles famous hostelries, Foxy Johns, before climbing into a taxi and driving off into the night. A four hour visit that left an indelible impression on those who were lucky enough to see her perform.

Amy Winehouse – Love Is A Losing Game

For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game

One I wished I never played
Oh what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand

Self professed, profound
Till the chips were down
Though you’re a gambling man
Love is a losing hand

Though I’d rather blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned

Over futile odds
And laughed at by the Gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
