Amy Winehouse’s goddaughter performs at UK fest

EASTNOR CASTLE DEER PARK: Amy Winehouse’s 15-year-old goddaughter performed an outstanding set at the Big Chill music festival, mirroring her late mentor by closing her show with a cover of Winehouse’s ”Love Is a Losing Game.”

Dionne Bromfield got teary-eyed when she performed the song, barely able to sing its last few words, though the crowd cheered her on.

”She was an amazing singer,” Bromfield said. ”She was not only my godmother, but she was my mentor and my boss as well.”

The big-voiced singer sang with ease during her 30-minute performance on Saturday, the second day of the U.K. music festival.

Bromfield was a reminder of Winehouse: She stood close to the mic while belting lyrics, with her big hair and tiny build.

She was backed by a 5-piece band and dancers, performing songs from her two albums and singing mainly about boys and relationship troubles.

Her scratchy voice was top-notch as she sang soul songs with pop flavors, especially on the old-school sounding ”Remember Our Love” and the up-tempo ”Yeah Right.” She also performed covers of Cee Lo Green’s smash ”Forget You” ”and the Shirelles’ ”Mama Said,” Bromfield’s first single.

Winehouse, who had struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, was found dead of unknown causes at her London home on July 23.

Bromfield is signed to Winehouse’s label, Lioness Records.

Amy Winehouse - Officials Appeal For Return Of Amy Winehouse Street Signs

Officials in London are appealing for the return of a number of street signs which were stolen from around Amy Winehouse's home following her tragic death last month (Jul11).

Fans scrawled tributes on several signs close to the house in Camden, north London, where the singer was found dead on 23 July (11), and officials at Camden Council had planned to donate the plaques to Winehouse's family as a memorial.

However, four of the signs have been stolen, and council bosses are urging whoever is in possession of them to turn them into a police station.

Deputy council leader Sue Vincent tells the Bbc, "We are appealing to the good nature and conscience of the person or persons who stole the signs and are asking for them to be returned.

"We are not concerned with who took them, and will not be investigating this if we get them back. The signs can be returned to any police station in Camden and no questions will be asked."

A statement from the council adds, "Since Amy Winehouse's passing, fans have left messages on the signs, with the remaining street signs being given to the family."

The news comes as it emerged that Winehouse's relatives plan to turn the late star's house into the headquarters for a charity set up in her name. The Amy Winehouse Foundation's full mission statement will be unveiled on 14 September (11), on what would have been Winehouse's 28th birthday.
