Amy MacDonald gig moved to Whelan's

The February show by Scottish singer-songwriter Amy MacDonald has been moved from the Sugar Club to Whelan's to meet demand.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 15 Jan 2008

Scottish songstress Amy MacDonald is enjoying massive success in the UK, where her debut album This Is The Life has just reached Number 1, beating Radiohead and Take That to the top spot.

And it seems things are also hotting up outside of the UK, as the demand for the 20-year-old's Dublin show has meant she's moving to a bigger venue.

Although many of her UK dates are now sold out, tickets are still available for her two Irish shows.

She plays The Limelight, Belfast on February 4, and, in a change of venue, Whelan's on February 5. Tickets are €16 from usual outlets.

"...there are songs about dead dogs, Pete Doherty, and even a Killers cover version, all of which are rapturously and raucously received."

She’s the latest Scottish singer-songwriter sensation. But Amy MacDonald is very much her own woman.

The great thing about Amy MacDonald is that she does the simple things so well, managing to sound thrilling and alive when so many of her ilk fall flat. Acoustic guitar, mandolin, drums, that voice and the kind of cutting lyric that only the young can get away with – it all adds up to near perfection.

Already tagged this year’s KT Tunstall, the Glaswegian 19-year-old is fast becoming a festival favourite on the British circuit with a slew of appearances lined up.

2007-07-23 - REVIEW

You know you’re getting older when new artists come along who were first inspired to pick up a guitar by Pete Doherty. Glaswegian Amy MacDonald is part of the new wave of musicians, equally versed in all aspects of the medium. What impresses most is that she has both a young and old head on her shoulders. She may take a great deal of her motivation from the sheer thrill of making music and hanging out with bands (her online diary gushes with tales of sitting behind the Killers at the Brits and the like) but ‘Poison Prince’ belies a maturity beyond her years. Her voice is rich and clear and the song marries a mainstream sheen with the kind of Scottish folk twang so beloved of the missing in action Sons And Daughters. An album follows in the summer, I’d keep an eye out if I were you.
