BowiePR (+ Full Live Band) + Support TBC

Event information

Back at Ebbingford Manor, Bude by popular demand, BowiePR with Paul Roberts promises to be another unforgettable night of open-air music. Join the former frontman of The Stranglers, and his band who bring Bowie's iconic pop songs vividly to life.

From Space Oddity through to smash hit Let's Dance to the wonderful The Next Day, internationally-acclaimed British rock frontman Paul Roberts and his band deliver songs from a dozen of David Bowie's classic albums.

Famed for his high-energy performances from 15 years fronting The Stranglers, and his coincidental uncanny resemblance to David Bowie, Paul brings these fabulous songs to life and with his band of leading British musicians, moves seamlessly from one era to the other. It's the kind of evening described by Bowie himself as "…a t-shirt and jeans type of show…".

The extensive repertoire highlights Bowie's amazing musical depth and knowledge, including hits such as: China Girl, Rebel Rebel, Sound and Vision, Fame, Suffragette City, Scary Monsters, The Jean Genie as well as classics Life On Mars, Ashes to Ashes and many more.

The show is all about the music & in contrast to many modern day 'tributes' - no wigs or posturing - just a great evening of Bowie's music, delivered faithfully & passionately.

Paul Roberts' homage to Bowie is a unique celebration of this iconic artist by one of the best in the business. The show has received rave reviews from as far as Malaysia and Singapore and of course at home here in the UK, (see our testimonials), fully endorsing that BowiePR is a live experience not to be missed.

The evening includes support by a local singer-songwriter - artist tbc.

Testimonials
'We'd anticipated fireworks on Guy Fawkes Night and Paul Roberts and his band did not disappoint. I was blown away by the sheer number and variety of anthems that captured a feeling of the time and still sound fresh now. The quality of the band performance entranced from beginning to end. They finished with Heroes and as we departed it felt as though the entire audience had morphed into Bowie super-fans, us included'. Vivienne M Clark, Henley Standard
