There is music from the Glen Miller Orchestra, and a unique performance of Sentimental Journey by Amy Winehouse, who died in 2011.

I'm ridiculously looking forward to this! Think I'm going to wait until it's on iPlayer so I can skip through the rest though tbh.

It was from June 5, 2004, on the same radio show that played the song today, BBC4 Loose Ends. Exactly ten years ago, to the date

Exactly! I don't think there are (m)any new original songs, but I reckon there are loads of covers from her, from the early days definitely, and possibly from private recordings when she was just sitting around her home studio singing away.

Thanks for posting this Uno, I would've completely missed that if you hadn't pointed it out. I can't remember hearing the program when it was first on, even though I am a Radio 4 listener - although in June 2004 I may have been too busy trying to hang on to my unraveling sanity

 

It may be another cover, but still an Amy song I had never heard before. So a thousand times thank you, you made my day! And now I need to sleep. Goodnight all!

Mitch tweeted earlier that it was recorded in 2000/2001 when Amy was 17 yrs old.

Looks like you were right! Wow, she was 16/17, that's nuts! I'd love to hear all of the NYJO recordings.
