Amy Wadge & Luke Jackson
Fri 3rd February 2017A superb TLR double header, featuring two of the UK’s most brilliant songwriters and performers on stage together!
We’ve known and admired Cardiff singer songwriter, Amy Wadge since our days in mid Wales, where she performed for us twice. Since those days she has become widely regarded as one of the country’s most successful female artists.
Over the course of five solo albums, two collaborations, numerous compositions for other artists and hundreds of live performances she has established an outstanding body of work, culminating in a Grammy Award in February 2016 with Ed Sheeran for the multi-platinum, global hit, ‘Thinking Out Loud’.
