Hi everyone,

 

I'm a writer and historian in London who has been a huge Amy Winehouse ever since Frank was released in 2003 (it's my favourite album!)

 

At the moment, I'm writing a new article about Amy Winehouse 'pilgrims'.

 

I'm really interested in talking to any fans who have visited her grave in London - especially if they travelled a long way to get here.

 

To a lesser extent, I'm also interested in finding anyone who has visited the Amy sights in Camden.

 

If you have made an Amy 'pilgrimage' and would be up for having a chat over email, please let me know - I'd be so grateful!

 

Thanks so much,

 

Anna

I went to visit her home and her local hangouts in Camden. I haven’t been to the grave though. Who’s the article for?

I've also visited her various Camden homes and favourite pubs, her statue at the markets, but haven't been out to the cemetery.  I travelled to London from Sydney though to be honest it wasn't just on an Amy pilgrimage.  Pre-Covid I was travelling there every 2 years because I love it!

Hi Anna . You should definitely check Michael @ amywinehousefanatic in Instagram. He is a huge fan and lives in London, he visited all remarkable Amy places.

Thanks so much for these replies so far! I'm not yet sure where this article will be published, but will let you know as soon as I can say.

 

I will definitely follow Michael on Instagram - thanks for the tip!

I'm from Brazil and visited London back in 2016 and 2019 especially to check out on Amy's sights. In addition to the grave and Camden sights, I also went to the AWF office for lunch with Mitch and visited her mum Janis at her place. Unforgettable experiences.

I remember you used to upload a lot of interesting and rare videos. I hope you can do that again!
