ZAFIROS, TRURO (17TH AUGUST)




AMY MAY

Stood in the corner, a pretty girl with an acoustic guitar?
Heard that story before, tell me something new...

What about the haunting songs?
Yeah, and...?

Okay, here`s the trump card - the voice! Amy May has got the full set; she plays a beautifully delicate guitar to her sensual songs and has the vocal range of a young Joni Mitchell.There is a touch of Suzanne Vega and Carole King in the quality of the songwriting, but it was the voice that held the room, as she performed to the relaxed people.

In a criminally under filled Zafiros bar, Amy`s powerful original songs, hauntingly took the lucky few to a wonderous place where angels walked. Spiritual and uplifting in a gentle and generous way, Amy May is one of life`s secret pleasures... but for how long?
