AB are just about to embark on another Southern Ireland tour which we’re really looking forward to
Also a big thanks to Ricky who has got us in at the 02 academys,Oxford,Newcastle and Liverpool and I’m sure we’ll be hitting an 02 academy near you in the very near future.
We’ve been learning a lot of new songs to build our set which has been tremendous fun Drive-in Saturday is now in as well as Under Pressure,Young Americans plus many more.
We’ve been trying in the studio to get close to a version from David Live of Sweet Thing which I and our keyboard player adores and hopefully you’ll hear it in the set one day in the not too distant future?
A really memorable gig for us was The Riga Music Bar in Essex,what a fantastic ‘hot’ night was had there by all.It used to be called The Cricketers and Mr B played there on 07/07/70,we’ve been trying to appease the Essex contingency for some time by getting a gig at the club and it was a great atmosphere all the guys and gals made us feel very welcome. . .thank you.
AbsoluteBowie are off to Jersey in October to play the Havana Club we’re looking forward to this one it’ll be fun,plus were also back at The Assembly Rooms in Royal Tunbridge Wells on the 24th of Oct everyone has played at this grand venue The Stones,Beatles,Elton, Rod Stewart,but not Bowie funnily enough.
