ROOTSY singer-songwriter Amy Wadge, pictured, is appearing with her band at the Forest Arts Centre in New Milton on March 11.

Likened to Tracey Chapman, Sheryl Crow and the Indigo Girls, Amy was voted Best Female Solo Artist in the Welsh Music Awards for two years running.

Last year Amy spent a lot of time touring round the UK and supported Jeff Beck, which included an appearance at the Royal Albert Hall.

In her own right, Amy and her band guested on the opening nights of two of the Hard Rock Cafe venues and appeared on Bob Harris's show on Radio 2.

Tickets for the performance cost £9. Box office: 01425 612393.
