    Hailing from Bristol, England, Amy Wadge is a Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter known for her collaborative writing efforts with artists such as Ed Sheeran, James Blunt, and Kylie Minogue. Born in 1975, she developed a passion for music at an early age and was influenced by the sound of artists in her father's record collection such as Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman, and Elton John, and soon took to writing her own songs after learning to play the piano at nine years old. By the time she was 11, she had also taken up guitar and taught herself to play along with Tracy Chapman's eponymous debut, which also influenced her writing style. From there, guitar became her primary instrument. While studying at school, she began performing her own material at venues in and around Bristol. She eventually relocated to Wales where she graduated from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and went on to write and release her own material while also earning a reputation for her performances on the local gig circuit. She went on to release a vast number of EPs and albums in the 2000s and 2010s. Both 2002 and 2003 saw her win Best Female Solo Artist at the Welsh Music Awards. 2003 also saw her tour Australia with the Welsh rugby team, performing the song "Adre Nôl" during the World Cup. One of her most popular writing credits was on Ed Sheeran's 2010 EP, Songs I Wrote with Amy. She also went on to release the Rivers Apart album in 2011 with Liverpudlian artist Pete Riley. In 2016, she received further accolades, including an Honorary Doctorate of Music at University of South Wales and the ASCAP Songwriter of the Year Award. She put out another EP, Keeping Faith, in 2018.

    I am in the middle of series one "Keeping Faith" and was struck by the quality of the music and all those A cappella harmonies. During the songs I loved the voice of Amy Wadge and the beauty of the recordings. I had never heard of Amy before but would just like to pay tribute to this awesome singer/songwriter. I had to stop the credits at the end to find out who this artist was, so glad I did. You are totally amazing Amy and superb live thank you for sharing your talent with the World. Thanks also to you David Barrs for uploading. Cheers Billy ;)

    Discovered this song when the Mrs was watching TV a few days ago. Every now and then you discover a song that you know you will love for the rest of your days. Usually completely out of your usualy genre. The last song that did this for me was Distrurbed and their version of Sound of silence. Now this song. It is simply stunning, haunting, sad, emotional. Just wow!

    Faiths song rang true for me, my husband dying three months after a cancer diagnosis in 2016. He kept his diagnosis from all of us for several years, finding a few letters and lab results in his desk after he died. I gave my soul and would do it again, just to have him with me. I'm rewatching the series because I remember nothing. First two years after he died, I don't remember much. Except those things and people who hurt me, knowing they're doing it. Thank you for this music.
