We played Our songs and felt the London sky...
We are thrilled to announce the 6th Bowie's Beckenham Oddity festival, an event that has been fundraising for the Bowie Bandstand Restoration and Plaque Fund since August 2016. This year we are raising money for three outstanding charities the Terrrence Higgins Trust, Cabaret Vs Cancer & Stt Christopher's Hospice.
The bandstand is situated in the grounds of Croydon Rd Recreation Ground, Beckenham BR3 3NR and in august 1969 David Bowie not only co-organised the original festival but he also performed there, in his set that day was a reggae version of Space Oddity with Tony Visconti.
Come and celebrate the life and music of...
DAVID BOWIE★ THE GROWTH SUMMER FESTIVAL OF 1969,★ THE SPIDERS FROM MARS, ★ THE ARTS LAB and beyond…
A special mention and thanks to Rolf Aldercreutz for kindly allowing us to use his image of David Bowie for this year’s event.
