David Bowie's music covers glam rock, soul, pop and art rock. A Bowie tribute suits audiences who love the music as much as the spectacle.
About our David Bowie tribute
Our Bowie tribute is performed by a former lead singer and guitarist with Yorkshire bands, whose credits include London venues such as The Marquee Club, The 100 Club and The Fulham Greyhound. The set list includes Space Oddity, Life on Mars, Changes, Starman and Ziggy Stardust.
How the show can be booked
Martin performs Bowie solo, with studio-quality backing tracks and live vocals. Sets come as 3 x 30, 2 x 45 or 1 x 60 minutes. Three 30-minute spots work well when food, games or speeches sit between the music. Two 45-minute sets suit most parties: one after the meal, one later in the evening. The 60-minute option is best for a shorter event or a single big moment. The act can provide background music during breaks.

Space and set-up
Because the show is self-contained, you don't need to hire a separate PA. Booking with a band? Confirm stage size and access with the venue first, because a band needs more room and time to set up. Plan the set-up for when the room is quiet, usually during the meal or before guests arrive.
