Back to Black 20th Anniversary Concert Comes to Camden
Camden Celebrates a Musical Icon’s Legacy
Two decades after Amy Winehouse’s breakthrough album arrived on the charts, Camden is honouring the North London-born artist with an unforgettable tribute. On Wednesday 21st October, the Roundhouse on Chalk Farm Road will host a landmark concert where the original producers behind Back to Black—Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi—guide The Amy Winehouse Band through the entire album that changed music forever. This isn’t just another anniversary celebration; it’s a carefully curated evening designed to preserve and honour the creative genius that shaped British soul music. For those of us who grew up listening to these tracks around Hounslow, Whitton, Richmond and across London, this represents a rare opportunity to experience the album’s depth in a live setting. The Roundhouse, long synonymous with intimate yet grand musical performances, provides the perfect venue for what promises to be a moving tribute. The concert will later broadcast on BBC Two and BBC Radio 2, ensuring that fans across the country can experience the magic of this one-night-only event.
A Star-Studded Lineup Honouring Amy’s Memory
Ronson and Remi have assembled an extraordinary roster of contemporary vocalists to stand in Amy’s shoes for the evening. Baby Rose, Corinne Bailey Rae, FLO, Jessie Reyez, Jorja Smith, Lianne La Havas, Nia Smith, Sasha Keable, Skye Newman, and Yebba—each hand-picked for their artistry and emotional connection to the material—will deliver their interpretations of these timeless songs. This approach ensures that each track receives fresh energy while maintaining the soul and vulnerability that made the original album so powerful. Producer p*nut joins the lineup, adding further creative weight to the project. For local artists and musicians across our community, this concert serves as both inspiration and a masterclass in honouring legacy. The involvement of such accomplished artists sends a powerful message about the lasting influence Amy’s work continues to have on contemporary British music. It’s a reminder that two decades later, Back to Black remains relevant, studied, and revered by the next generation of singers and songwriters who’ve grown up studying her craft.
