From his early visits to Soho in the late 1950s until his move to New York in 1974, David Bowie was a budding personality in the Soho music scene. His involvement in this scene strongly influenced his future career. Bowie played in R&B bands such as The King Bees, The Manish Boys, Davy Jones and The Lower Third, The Buzz, and The Riot Squad. He then embarked on a solo career, producing an album styled after Anthony Newley in 1967. Following this, he met Lindsay Kemp in Soho, delved into a mime phase, and formed a folk group, Feathers. His subsequent band, Hype, featured Tony Visconti and Mick Ronson. Bowie achieved his first hit with ‘Space Oddity’ before establishing The Spiders From Mars. His iconic early 70s work was recorded at Trident Studios in Soho. But would he have blossomed into the same artist without a decade of growth and experimentation in this area? This tour explores the sites which had a significant role in Bowie’s development during the 1960s and 70s, turning him into the legendary figure he later became, including album cover locations and recording studios.
