Back to Black is a powerful and heartfelt tribute to the music and legacy of Amy Winehouse, presented by acclaimed performer Carrie Fern. Celebrating the raw emotion and jazz-infused brilliance that defined Amy’s sound, the show captures her unmistakable look, tone and soulful energy with authenticity and respect.
At just 19 years old, Carrie had the extraordinary opportunity to perform in front of Amy herself during an appearance connected with MTV. The encounter led to a meaningful connection, with Amy mentoring Carrie for a short time. Deeply inspired by that experience, Carrie felt compelled to keep Amy’s music and spirit alive through live performance.
The result is a tribute that goes far beyond imitation. Back to Black honours Amy’s artistry through powerful vocals, vintage styling and emotionally charged performances of her most iconic songs. Carrie’s understanding of Amy’s phrasing, stage presence and musical depth allows her to deliver a moving and credible portrayal that resonates with audiences.
In addition to the main stage show, Carrie created The Amy Winehouse Story, an intimate storytelling production weaving personal memories and experiences into the performance. The full production can also feature two professional backing singers, enhancing the rich harmonies and authentic soul sound that defined Amy’s recordings. Ideal for theatres, festivals and corporate events, Back to Black delivers an emotive celebration of one of Britain’s most distinctive musical voices.
