Hi folks!   Does anyone has more information about this gig that took place in Greece? This show was one of the few Amy’s appearances during 2005 (along with Cornbury Festival, Old Blue Last and Bacardi B live).   All I know is the following information, provided by @uno   "There is a person who was there that night and posted a snippet of another band that was playing on YouTube. He/she may possibly have some footage of Amy too. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u\_XmcW6mi8](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u%5C_XmcW6mi8) Howard Sounes mentioned this gig in his book. He also said that Patrick Alan, who Amy knew thru the ‘10 Room’ shows, lined up the gig for Amy. I haven’t been able to figure out the exact date for this, but from what little I could find on the web, I think that the Drifters (or a new version of them) also played at this show and it took place during the first week of July. Patrick Alan spent some time playing with the Drifters. I found an old forum post (dated 13 Jul 2005) where someone mentioned seeing the Drifters play in Skiathos a week earlier and they were advertising Skiathos the as the `Motown Island’. [http://spectropop.com/archive/digest/d1995.htm](http://spectropop.com/archive/digest/d1995.htm) I found that photo of Amy in Skiathos in the gallery for Total Eclipse Lighting (UK), [http://totaleclipselighting.co.uk/gallery.html](http://totaleclipselighting.co.uk/gallery.html) They might possibly have some video shots."   For some reason, I can’t see the image any longer. Do you know which songs she perfomed? Pretty sure she sang Stronger Than Me!   Thanks!   ---

The date for Amy was 6th July 05 and she did/was supposed to do Stronger than me.There was supposed to be 3 dates for the festival but there was some trouble at the first date so the rest of the festival was cancelled.I don’t if the 6th of July was the first day of the festival. ---

According to an earlier post Amy was supposed to do 3 dates here but had too much to drink on the first night and the organisor cancelled the last two shows and all payment. There’s only one photo from that night available. I don’t know what she sang (assumed Stronger than Me) but could be an older cover perhaps as it’s a Motown gig? ---

I think they didn’t pay yeah, this is just what I read in an earlier article about this that was quoted from the Howard Sounes book, other than that there’s not much info of this gig online it’s all from the book, but yeah I agree with you that’s messed up. ---

What a pity there’s no video or picture of this night. Can someone zoom in the image of Amy and share it here? She looks more in her Frank days than in B2B’s era. PS. I’ve just realised that Amy is singing with at least one female backup singer, which is quite rare!  ---

It’s a shame the lighting isn’t great so we can’t really see her. I think she might’ve been the only international act and the rest were tributes (like how in a forum discussion it mentioned a local tribute of The Drifters I believe it was? performing there) so she didn’t have a full band like normal.   I wonder if she performed any tracks for B2B here like Addicted?   Thought this was interesting too (came from a blog about Skiathos) - “Amy Winehouse tried to have a private function in Kentavros but Christos refused to let his regulars down…”   Kentavros is a late-night chilled jazz/blues bar in Skiathos, I don’t know if this is maybe where the performance was, but it’s hard to know as this was the only time the event ever happened, it sort of looks like it’s in the Summer cinema of Skiathos or some sort of similar amphitheatre ---

> [@amyinourhearts](#): > > Didn’t they pay her the gig she did? She deserved that money i’ve found the text of what i was referring to before from the howard sounes book that i’ll paste if you’d like to read it, it was from a portuguese site so it’s a rough translation “In the summer of 2005, Patrick Alan secured a gig for Amy alongside singer Natalie Williams in Greece. Unfortunately, Amy began drinking as soon as she arrived in Skiathos and passed out—drunk—backstage during the break on the first night. “They couldn’t wake her up,” says Alan, who had to deal with the furious event promoter. “They were supposed to perform for three nights. He was so upset that he sent her home the next day [without paying her].”” - i think natalie williams is the woman with amy that you see in the photo, i wonder what they sang? now i doubt it was stronger than me
