Amy Corcoran is a singer-songwriter and guitarist from Bolton who writes folk songs based on real life stories set in her home town. Her sharp wit and gift for finding beauty and humour in the everyday and the mundane have earned her comparisons to Victoria Wood and Jake Thackray. 

Hailed as "a bright up and coming future star" by Ron Armitage of Bolton FM's The Folk Show, Amy's songs blend simple musical hooks with honest and relatable lyrics. The highs and lows of friendships and dating disappointments are major themes in her work, with songs such as Frenemy, I'm Not That Bothered Anymore and I Left My Bloke In A Museum becoming audience favourites.

Amy began her singing career in the late 2010s as a street performer. An avid fan of the Golden Oldies, she decided to perform '50s and '60s songs for passersby on the streets of Wigan, Bolton and Bury. An aptitude for connecting with an audience developed, and from these spirited beginnings she crafted Amy's Sixties Jukebox, a one-woman show which has entertained audiences in pubs, restaurants and care homes across the North West.

Often likened to Karen Carpenter and Kirsty McColl, Amy's sonorous voice carries the warmth of a bygone era, and her songwriting is driven by a belief that music should be entertaining and accessible.

At the end of 2025 Amy toured the North West to promote her album, The Bryan Adams Railway Bridge. This year, she will be making appearances at Balticfest Liverpool, Darwen Live, Holmfirth Festival of Folk, Horwich Rox and Bolton Food & Drink Festival. She is also a regular performer at Forged In Bolton, a monthly event at Bolton Little Theatre that showcases the best of local musicians and poets.
