Monday 2nd November sees the release of 'Hold Me', the sublimely sweet
and simply beautiful single from Amy Wadge. A love song in the most classic
sense, it is an unapologetically direct appeal to a lover, delivered with
uncomplicated, but heartfelt lyrics in Amy's trademark vocal.
Produced by Stan Kybert (Oasis, Massive Attack, Paul Weller), the track builds
from sparse beginnings, through myriad melodies and gorgeous harmonies in the
chorus, into a huge, layered sound that makes 'Hold Me' an irresistible teaser of
what's to come on her new album - Acoustig.
With years of touring experience under her belt (she has supported Van
Morrison, Jeff Beck, Damien Rice and Eric Bibb amongst others), Amy has
developed and nurtured an absolutely captivating and quite magical live
experience, which she will once more take to the road with over the coming
months.
'Pint sized poetess with valley quaking voice. Her songs have a raw vibrancy
that suit her earthy voice and emotionally mature lyrics' - Q magazine.

No one really knows, but do they know? hmm... Is it reggae? Is it rock? Is it ska? Is it indy? Is it good? Is it some funky dance worthy soul? WHO KNOWS? Well hopefully its all of the above! All you really need to know is...music should be fun, so i try to make it so! I don't want a bored audience...or a sad one! If you're listening to me i don't want you to be depressed...and in the current climate i think we all could do with a bit more sunshine in our lives...specially in jolly old England Currently i work as a lounge musician at Hoar Cross Hall...it's wonderful, but its not the same as having to please a paying audience of music enthusiasts and more importantly (potential) fans! Music and Love are the two reasons i believe i was put on this earth...now i can only do one of them on stage for money...as you can see im a musician, not a comedian lol

Despite winning Soutwest Young Achiever of the Year in 2003, despite recording and releasing a debut album that continues to sell and receive radio airplay internationally, despite headline shows in the UK and a tour of America, and despite supporting great artists like Hazel O'Conner, Paul Young, Clive Gregson, Boo Hewerdine, and the legendary Albert Lee, despite all that she's quite modest. So here's what other people have to say:
"You won't hear better songs than those anywhere this year." - Clive Gregson
"Good songs, great lyrics." - Steve Tilston
"There are a lot of musicians around, many of them perfectly competent, but once in a great while you stumble onto someone with that spark of something extra, something beyond the ordinary, far beyond expectations -Lou [has] that spark in spades. Lou’s got a very pure and lovely voice, and writes some truly gorgeous songs with fantastic wordsmithing." - Gayla Drake Paul
"A varied collection of exquisitely crafted numbers…charismatically delivered by Lou Brown." The Guardian
