UNION CHAPEL, NOVEMBER 2006. Amy Winehouse on stage at the Little Noise Sessions on 24 November 2006, four weeks after Back to Black was released on 27 October. The sessions were a series of acoustic concerts at the Union Chapel in Islington in aid of Mencap, hosted by Jo Whiley. She shared the bill that night with Mika and Bat for Lashes. Reports of the night said her set drew heavily on the new album, including Rehab, Back to Black and Love Is a Losing Game, and that she also played two Donny Hathaway songs, We're Still Friends and I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know. Here she sings in a white vest top with braces, red light on the chapel's decoration behind her.
