In the band, Emma is backed by a full five piece backing band and a full stage show.

Two of those joining Emma are Tobi Ogunnaike and Pierrot Obi, who will be taking the roles of Amy’s backing vocalists Ade and Zalon. Thursday’s show will be their official unveiling, adding another layer of authenticity.

The band are made up of hand-picked experienced musicians, carefully selected to maintain the accuracy to the original performances of Amy. The crafted show focuses on the vocal talent and soul of Amy, unhindered by the dark side to her addictions to alcohol and substances.
