Here's a topic about her, because I do really like what she does ! I went to Scotland for a week, and I listened to her album, This Is The Life, all week long, it is so great !

I love her voice, and her texts, and her music... Really a great songwritter/singer !

Indeed, I knew it, Ronan told it on the old French forum. We can say that she has great tastes in music =D 

We saw her live in bristol a few months back.

Thought she was as good as keane are performing live.

If you get the chance to see her live , make sure you do.

Lee.

I love her. Haven't seen her live yet. My favorite song of hers is probably a wish for something more but I really do love all her songs. Does anyone know if shes recording a second album? (probably too soon)

we have something in common. both loving Fran Healy :) That's a huge plus.

Amy is awesome...check out this cover she recorded. Just in time for your holidays

Amy MacDonald - "Fairytale of New York" (Recorded at The Barrowlands in Glasgow)

The Barrowlands used to be a ballroom where people would come and dance in the 50's and 60's. It still retains the old ballroom floor, which is quite bouncy, and old retro decor so there is a nostalgic feel about the place. it has a large flashing neon sign and now houses a weekend market underneath, selling bric a brac, etc. Bands all around the world love to play this venue, as it has so much character. Even though it fits just under 2000 people every show feels very intimate.

 Amy was looking to perform a special Christmas song for her show at "The Barras" (as they are known) and "Fairytale of New York" is very famous in UK. In her opinion, it's probably the "coolest 'non traditional' song there is" so thought she would give it a go. Her voice is reminiscent of the late Kirsty MacColl, so there are some apparent links there as well as her bass player, Jamie sounding quite similar to Shane Mcgowan who sings the original. All in all, it was one of those songs that just worked.

I saw her in Paris on Wednesday. She played mainly songs from the next album which is gonna be released in March.

The show was great. "What Happiness Means" made me cry, it was just her and a piano. Great piece of art. "Don't tell me that it's over" rocks. I have a video of this song (as well as "This is the Life" and "Run") but I'm afraid you only hear me sing XD

My favourite picture.

The others are here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=176295&id=1323160331&l=1041703947

I totally fall in love with the supporting act, btw. His name is Jersey Budd and you should chek him out!

Add me to the Amy fan club. She's one of my all time fav female artists.

The new songs sound truly great. I can't wait for A Curious Thing to be releasded!

The video for Don't tell me that it's over is amazing too!

Listen to "Run", it's the song that got me hooked into her. And "Let's start a band" is truly great too. And of course "The Road To Home", which makes me cry anytime I hear it xD
