Amy Winehouse triumphantly bucked all expectations at the V Festival this weekend. Not by being incoherent and scaring children away, but by actually being there and not crawling around a London opium den sniffing out mice to kiss instead. (Now that’s what I call a pub snack! ) Her shambling performance at the Weston Park, Staffordshire leg of the festival on Saturday night managed to attract some boos, while her Hylands Park set at the second leg of in Chelmsford went a little smoother say reports. Although perhaps they were handing out garlic garlands when she played the latter set, which would explain why she looks as though she’s about to melt into a vial of blood - just leaving two twitching MDMA eyeballs glaring out across Essex.
