Amy Winehouse’s legacy lives on through a music therapy room for disabled children.

The singer’s parents, Janis Winehouse-Collins and Mitch Winehouse, attended a music therapy room in Muswell Hill as it was named in honour of their daughter.

Children at disability charity CPotential in Muswell Hill have been benefitting from the Amy Winehouse Foundation’s annual funding to their music therapy programme.

The charity launched a brand-new Amy Winehouse Music Therapy Room on Thursday (November 17) to encourage future generations to continue making music.

Mayor of Haringey Cllr Gina Adamou and Cllr Zena Brabazon were also at the room naming event.

Jane Winehouse, managing trustee of the Amy Winehouse Foundation, said: “We are delighted to continue our long-standing support for music therapy at CPotential.

“This is life-changing work and a charity that we are proud to be associated with. And to now have the music room named in Amy’s honour is a beautiful tribute.

“We know that Amy would be so happy that her legacy brings so much joy to so many children.”

During the visit, Mr Winehouse gave a speech, along with members from CPotential.

Guests were also treated to a musical tribute from members of Girton College A Cappella, with thanks to Felix Elliot, Izzy Benson, Isabella Chan and Dan Sandell.

After Mrs Winehouse-Collins cut the ribbon for the room, children showcased their musical talents in the new room.

American street artist Chris Turner, who is a friend of the late musician, painted three new canvases to decorate the new music therapy room.

CPotential has been helping disabled children and their families since 1963.

It is hoped the new therapy room will make a “significant” impact on children’s physical, cognitive and emotional development.

Brett Parker, CEO at CPotential, said: “We are overwhelmed by the continued support from the Foundation and Amy’s family, so naming our music therapy room in Amy’s honour is the least we can do for their generosity.”

Amy Winehouse grew up in Southgate and attended Osidge Primary School. She found international fame with the release of her second album, Back to Black, in 2007. 

The singer died at her Camden home in 2011.
