Grammy winner in concert at Stogumber

GRAMMY winner, Amy Wadge, is one of the UK’s most prolific contemporary singer/songwriters.

Over the last decade she has worked with top names such as James Blunt, Ms Dynamite, The Shires, LeAnn Rimes and Rebecca Ferguson as well as a score of up and coming musical talent.

Her most noticeable success to date, however, comes from her long established writing partnership with Ed Sheeran which led to them winning ‘Song of the Year’ for Thinking Out Loud (and Ed also won ‘Best Performer’ for singing the track) in Los Angeles in February 2016.

It is an exceptional privilege that Amy has agreed to play in Stogumber, West Somerset!

The concert will take place at 7.30pm on Friday, at the Village Hall (satnav TA43TG).
