RECORD STORE DAY UNSIGNED WINNER “AMY FITZ DOYLEY” ANNOUNCES FIRST VINYL RELEASE

Amy Fitz Doyley, the winner of Record Store Day’s nationwide Unsigned competition has today announced details of her debut physical release “Eye of the Needle”. It will be released a week before Record Store Day, on Friday 14th April, and will be available from select indie record shops and Bandcamp. 

In 2021, Amy Fitz Doyley took home the Record Store Day Unsigned accolade, which gives one talented DIY UK artist the opportunity to have their music pressed onto 500 vinyl records and stocked on the shelves of record stores around the UK. 

The competition, coordinated in partnership with Sound Performance, was judged by a panel of industry experts including Alex Rice (Sports Team), Jessie Atkinson (Gigwise), Chris Marksberry (Sounds Performance), Steve Courtnell (Pie & Vinyl) and Sister Cookie (previous RSD Unsigned Winner) who all deemed Amy Fitz Doyley to be of exceptional talent and deserving of this special prize. 



Upon winning the competition, Amy said “"It’s one of the BEST feelings in the world to be the winner of this prize! Holding this bright pink vinyl with MY music on it is such a dream come true - thank you so much!!! Winning the competition has been a boost and helped me to make meaningful connections. The plan is to continue writing, making and sharing music as much as possible - I’m really excited about the future!" 

Amy has already received much praise since releasing her single “Eye of the Needle” with Paddy Clarke of The Quietus describing Amy as “in possession of a considerable voice but employs it subtly as she slowly unfurls her hypnotic electronic pop.”
