Amy Wadge and Pete Riley first came together a little over two years ago simply to do some writing together. They immediately clicked and after many years as solo artists or as members of various bands, they decided to collaborate and have been touring, writing and recording together ever since. Together they penned an album's worth of material and finally decided to release it. Their debut album, "Rivers Apart", which they also co-produced, was released on March 17, 2011 and coincided with their brand new UK Tour.
Amy returned to the road after a year out to have a second baby. She is widely regarded as one of the country's most successful female singer/songwriters. Over the course of five solo albums, two collaborations, numerous compositions for other artists and hundreds of live performances all over the globe, she has established an outstanding body of work. Her voice is simply amazing with a breathtaking range and emotional impact while her songwriting continues to surpass most of her contemporaries. "An irresistible, riveting performer" - Bob Harris, BBC Radio2
