Thin White Duke return to South Street on the 10th July following the massive success of their sell-out show in 2009. Taking their name and look from the Thin White Duke character created by David Bowie for his legendary 1976 Station To Station tour, the band delivers a powerhouse of a show that contains hits and classic album tracks from Space Oddity to Let's Dance and everything in between. This is a "must see" for Bowie fans looking for an authentic tribute to one of UK music's most innovative and enduring acts.
