Mark Ronson's Amy Winehouse tribute gig at Greenwich Summer Sessions
Before Wednesday night, I'd honestly really never bought into the whole Mark Ronson thing.I mean, obviously he's very good at talent spotting- Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and Adele being just a few of his proteges,but its only when I saw him on stage playing the guitar,then the drums, then DJing a set of massive hits,all of which he'd produced-that I realised quite what a talent he is in his own right.
