Ziggy - The Songs Of David Bowie Down Under Next Month

It's an invitation across the nation...

If you're in Australia, you probably already know about this one...It's the latest Bowie production by Jeff 'Duffo' Duff and friends and it's a little more ambitious than usual.

Here's a bit of explanation from the blurb...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ziggy, The Songs of David Bowie pays homage to Bowie, the pop phenomenon ? the influential individualist with the uncanny ability to push boundaries and transform himself and the world around him.

Performed by four of Australia?s leading contemporary musicians and performers - iOTA, Jeff Duff, Steve Balbi and Brydon Stace - Ziggy, The Songs of David Bowie is as multi-dimensional as the man himself.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ziggy, The Songs of David Bowie will hit three little Australian towns in November, in the shape of Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.

The show dips into the Bowie back catalogue from 1969 up to 1983 as far as I can tell and I think there are a couple more dates to be added too.

You can read more, book tickets and watch out for updates on the Ziggy, The Songs of David Bowie official site... check out a video interview with the artists involved while you're about it.

Also, keep an eye on Adam Dean's superb BowieDownUnder.com (The David Bowie Community of Australia and New Zealand) for updates on this and all things Bowie in the land where everything is apparently upside down...not sure I believe that theory myself though. However, I am open-minded enough to be swayed by visual evidence if anybody down there wants to send some in.
