Hi
Thanks for taking the time to read this....
I'm a guitarist (early 50's) who is looking to put together a David Bowie tribute act. So, I'm seeking another guitarist, bass, drums, keys and (of course) a David Bowie sound-a-like.
The aim of this band will be to faithfully recreate Bowie's music ranging from the Space Oddity album, right through to Blackstar.
Obviously, Bowie had a huge number of alter ego's and images. Rather than try to recreate various periods of his career, this band would be based around the look of the Earl Slick / Mike Garson / Gail Ann Dorsey era band that supported him at Glastonbury 2000.
The aim of the band would be to initially learn and rehearse a 30 song set. We would then be looking at doing a few low key gigs in pubs to sharpen the songs up in a live setting, before hooking up with a booking agency with a view to playing at larger venues / theatre's / festivals / private functions etc
Ideally, I'm looking for musicians between the ages of 30 and late 50's (although this isn't set in stone). You need to have your own transport and pro standard gear, and be available to commit to rehearse once a week regularly.
Please, if you're not a Bowie fan, or only have a casual interest in his music.... don't reply to this ad! This project is for serious musicians who need to have an understanding, appreciation and love of his music.
Once we have a complete line up, rehearsals will be weekly at absolute music.
If you're interested (and, if you've read this far, i hope you are!), please reply to:

please include a little bit about yourself in the reply ... age / experience / instrument / fave bowie album etc...
i really hope to hear from you soon!
