“Und wir sind dann Helden, Für einen tag”

Here’s a bit from the official blurb to hopefully whet your appetite for this special Bowie Day in Berlin which takes place on June 15th...

 

On the occasion of the Bowie exhibition that runs from 20 May to 10 August 2014 in the Martin-Gropius-Bau, the Berliner Festspiele, in cooperation with ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius and Musicboard Berlin, are organising “One Day for … David Bowie” to explore the glamorous Bowie universe from a Berlin perspective.

“Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend”

We are very pleased to be able to exclusively announce two further Holy Holy performances of David Bowie’s The Man Who Sold The World album in September.

Tony Visconti, Woody Woodmansey, Glenn Gregory and Steve Norman will now perform the classic Bowie album with Holy Holy and very special guests at two additional dates, on what is shaping up to be a bit of a mini-tour.

The extra shows are at ABC Glasgow, on Saturday 20th September and Shepherd’s Bush Empire, on Monday 22nd September and priority pre-sales start at 9:00am on Wednesday

“When I Live My Deram”

David Bowie released his first album this day in 1967, albeit lacking the fanfare of Sergeant Pepper reportedly released on the same day by The Beatles, though Pepper was actually released a couple of weeks earlier. But that’s for Beatles’ buffs to explain.

Issued on the Decca subsidory, Deram, David Bowie is an album that has been unfairly dismissed over the years, even by Bowie himself on occasion.

This is a disservice that belies the fact that the record contained some classic Bowie recordings, including the likes of There Is A Happy Land, When I Live My Dream
