More information about David Bowie Tribute - Sound & Vision tickets

Fasten your seatbelts – the Starman is here!!
‘Sound & Vision – A tribute to David Bowie’ was launched on what would have been Bowie’s 75th birthday in 2022.

While his career spanned five decades, he maintained his relevance to both his long- term ardent fans and younger emerging audiences. There has never been an artist that has offered inspiration to so many people within the music industry. His songs still have the ability to affect and influence music lovers across the world.

What makes Sound & Vision so special, is their note-perfect recreation of the legend himself and the iconic musicians he loved to work with. The 7-piece band offers audiences a chance to fully appreciate each complex nuance of his many, many songs. And they’re all there... Ziggy Stardust, Life on Mars, Starman, All the Young Dudes, Rebel-Rebel, China Girl... and so many more.

Chris Burke, has an unmatched vocal similarity to Bowie. His vocal ability allows you to enjoy each song being performed as you’d want them to be. Perfectly recreating his voice. Close your eyes... you’d think he was in the room.

But it’s not just about the vocals. The musicianship and talent of the other band members is truly world class. The line-up includes Jeff John (Lead Guitar), John Wilmott (Bass), Colin Elward (Keyboards), Simon Harry (Rhythm Guitar), Gareth Addey (Drums) and Mike Davies (Saxophone).

The show is mesmerising with lights and a wonderful soundscape, designed to stimulate all your senses... and it includes a few surprises too. Suitable for all ages, and will have you dancing in the aisles.

Celebrate David Bowie's amazing music with us. It’ll be a memorable rock
experience with the UK’s best sound-alike Bowie show.
