A BEACON OF LIGHT
Bowie by Candlelight (Concerts by Candlelight)
21st May @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
£35 – £50We are delighted to welcome back Bowie by Candlelight, featuring David Live: The David Bowie Tribute Show. An incredible night of Bowie anthems, including ‘Let’s Dance’, ‘Starman’, ‘Life on Mars’, ‘Rebel Rebel’ and more, performed live by candlelight.
David Live is a respectful and charming homage that has attracted praise from all corners of the Bowie community. Formed nearly 20 years ago, they are highly acclaimed amongst true Bowie fans. Between the hit singles, the band squeezes in really deep album cuts and rarer live versions for the Bowie faithful.
This show is all about our love and respect for David Bowie, and how his songs have shaped our lives.
“I’ll never forget seeing David Live – the authenticity was startling” – Will Brooker, author of ‘Why Bowie Matters’.
