The Mural is just around the corner from The Brixton Academy, It had become a shrine and was Packed with Visitors.
Simply could not let the day go by without a few personal thoughts about David Bowie Five years on from his passing.
Without finding the music of Bowie at a young age, like many, Probably things may have been very different for me.
In 2017 I attended The Brixton Accademy gig to Celebrate Bowies Music. The members of the final Bowie Band Line up Performed with many Guests who had Been Influenced by the man as an artist or Friend.
I have Included a couple of Photos from the event…Not great quality but all taken on my phone whilst the sold out venue Rocked and sang every word.
I was also very fortunate to see Holy Holy, With Woody Woodmansey from the original Spiders From Mars Band and Tony Visconti on Bass, Visconti had played Bass on Bowies Earlier work and of course produced him and became a close friend.
I have Included a few Photos of That Gig Too.
Why Mention these two gigs? Well they are just a part of my Bowie Journey from the age of ten till he passed away, many memories of his music inspiring and interweaving in my life.
Most Importantly he was the Icon for “it’s ok to be different”
A truely unique Artist.
