- Profession: Singer
- Place/Date of Birth: Enfield, London , 14 September 1983

But the closing number, a cover of The Zuton’s Valerie descended into chaos when she stopped singing, dropped the microphone and walked off stage.
Earlier this week, Blake was remanded into custody at Pentonville Prison on charges of perverting the course of justice over a court trial in which he is accused of assaulting a pub landlord in north London in June last year.
Amy snubbed by Blake’s parents? - Nov 14 2007
Amy Winehouse was apparently left upset after she tried to visit her husband in prison for the first time - and was sent away.
The songstress went to see Blake Fielder-Civil behind bars at North London’s Pentonville Prison - but Blake’s mum Georgette had taken the day’s only permitted visit, according to The Sun.
Blake is accused of GBH and trying to pervert the course of justice - and it seems Blake’s family have turned their back on Amy - blaming her for his downfall.
A friend told the paper: "Things are very bad between Blake’s and Amy’s family.
"Amy is struggling to talk to his parents. When she turned up to see them on Sunday at the hotel where they have been staying she was told first that they were asleep, then that they were not available.
"They are not taking any of her calls or being where they say they will be.
"Amy was devastated when she heard Blake’s mum booked herself in for the jail visit as Amy was desperate to see him.
"She just went to the prison anyway but was told she couldn’t come in."
Amy Winehouse’s husband is remanded - Nov 11 2007
Singer Amy Winehouse looked on tearfully as her husband was remanded in custody charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Blake Fielder-Civil, 25, of Jeffrey’s Place, Camden, north London, appeared at Thames Magistrates’ Court, east London.
District Judge John Perkins remanded Fielder-Civil in custody until November 23 when he will appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court, east London.
A second man, Anthony Kelly, 25, of Constable House, Chalk Farm, north London, appeared in court alongside Fielder-Civil, charged with a similar offence. He was also remanded in custody until November 23.
Winehouse, accompanied by her father Mitch, stood at the back of the courtroom next to the glass dividing the public gallery from the dock throughout this morning’s hearing.
Wearing a black top and grey pencil skirt and sporting her trademark beehive, she blew her husband kisses and mouthed "I love you" repeatedly as Fielder-Civil turned around and smiled at her.
Following the hearing Winehouse left the courthouse through a rear entrance and was driven away in a silver BMW without speaking to reporters.
The court heard that Fielder-Civil is charged with one count of attempting to pervert the course of justice. The full charge is "That on or before the 8th November 2007, within the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court, you conspired together with James King, to do an act namely whereby James King would withdraw from being a witness in an indictment charged before the court against another for causing grievous bodily harm to James King with intent to pervert the course of justice contrary to Section One (1) of the Criminal Law Act 1977".
The charge against Fielder-Civil’s fellow defendant, Anthony Kelly is that he "With the attempt to pervert the course of public justice did a series of acts which had a tendency to pervert the course of public justice in that you arranged with the victim and the defendants in that the victim doesn’t attend court".

Amy and her brother Alex were brought up by her mum and grandmother, and fondly remembers ’Growing up in East Finchley was cool.’ She started playing guitar at 12 and listening to jazz. Her acceptance into the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School seemed to spell big things for Amy, although she was expelled at 15, apparently for getting her nose pierced. She carried on her studies at an all girls school in Mill Hill, which she hated as there were no fella’s there.
Amy made appearances with the Youth Jazz Orchestra, produced a demo tape of jazz covers that was picked up by Universal/Island Records, and they signed her almost immediately. She released her album Frank in October 2003 and supported Jamie Callum on his national tour. Amy then went on to be nominated for two Brit Awards, British Female Solo Artist and Best Urban Artist. Not bad for a girl of 20!
