We are delighted to bring you Bowie by Candlelight, featuring 'David Live' The David Bowie Tribute Show. An incredible night of Bowie anthems including Let's Dance, Starman, Life on Mars, Rebel Rebel and more, performed by candlelight.

David Live is one of the best tributes to any artist you will ever see - a respectful and charming homage, attracting praise from all corners of the Bowie community.

Chris Evans (BBC Radio 2) remarked, "THEY WERE FANTASTIC!" and Lord March, who had the band play at his renowned Goodwood Revival Party when the real David Bowie had to decline, exclaimed, "IT'S DAVID BOWIE!"

The band has performed for the BBC, for the Cambridge May Ball and for Lord and Lady Gerald Fitzalan-Howard at the wedding of their daughter, Florence. We recently had the honour of playing at The David Bowie World Fan Convention in Liverpool.

David Live was formed nearly 20 years ago and is considered the favourite amongst true Bowie fans. Between the hit singles, the band squeeze in really deep album cuts and rarer live versions for the Bowie faithful.

This show is all about our love and respect for David Bowie, and how his songs have shaped our lives.

"I'll never forget seeing David Live - the authenticity was startling" - Will Brooker, author of "Why Bowie Matters".
