Five
years: The singer was found dead at her home in north London Rex
|
Mitch
Winehouse performed his daughter’s favourite songs at the Pizza Express Jazz
Club on Sunday in aid of the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
The
27-year-old musician died of alcohol poisoning at her home in Camden, north
London, on July 23 2011.
She had
publically battled drink and drugs for years before her death.
Her
family set up the charity to combat drug and alcohol abuse among young people
and help them overcome eating disorders or self-harm.
The
much-loved singer’s father has performed around the world to raise money for
the foundation.
Earlier
this year, he criticised a film made about the singer’s life labelling it a
“sham”.

Speaking
after the acclaimed film Amy won the Oscar for best documentary feature, he
said: "It's gratifying to know that people still love Amy, and they love
her music, and they love her as a person.
“But the
anger around the film hasn't abated."

Mr
Winehouse said the film left out positive aspects of his daughter's life
including her clothes designing and charity work, adding: "It's just a
very negative image and portrayal of Amy and her family."
The
singer, who would have turned 33 this September, was immortalised with a
life-size bronze statue in Camden on what would have been her 31st birthday.
