TWD - great night at The Rose and Crown Sandhurst. I'm never disappointed when I go there - small intimate venue, and the friendliest welcome you will receive in any pub. Thin White Duke played a varied Bowie set.... most of the songs you'd expect with one or two of the slightly left field album tracks to keep you on your toes. By the end, they even had me up and dancing.
It was a great night. I really hope that the Rose and Crown hosts TWD again. Barry the landlord was well impressed, so it's likely. And if they do... I'll be front row singing along!
Thanks - Dick Cherry

Re: TWD @ Rose & Crown, Sandhurst - A superb performance at a superb venue. Will be in touch soon as discussed...

What a fantastic night at the Rose & Crown, after 6 hrs of driving with crap on the radio what better than to walk into a place where everyone made you feel welcome whilst watching the best Bowie tribute I have ever seen, It was like watching the man himself well done fellas hopefully see you soon.
p.s. Enjoy the wedding, still can't believe she's making you sing ha ha !!!!!!!!

Thin White Duke aka David Bowie, well what can I say, a fabulous night was had by all there, absolutely spot on, I could not believe how much you looked and sounded like Bowie, I was the one who shouted David to you at the end of the night. Cant wait for your return.

Hi Trevor,
Thanks for your comments - really appreciate them. We don't do any Tin Machine I'm afraid, with such a huge back catalogue of Bowie material to choose from, we'll never be able to fit everything in or even get close to doing so! We've all got our favourite tracks within the band and getting the time to learn them and bring them into the set is a real challenge. We hope to be learning some new stuff in the not too distant future and unleashing it on the TWD audience! Look forward to seeing you in Bromley - spread the word to all your Bowie-loving friends!

Hey. So let me start by saying that David Bowie is a big part of my life.
I know his stuff backwards.
I can't tell you how much I loved your show on Saturday at The Dirty South.
I am afraid I was the twat that shouted "Tin Machine" when you only had time for two more songs,
but I actually like that first Tin machine album. Do you do "I can't read" by the way? I prefer the original Tin machine version to the later solo version.
Anyway.. I loved your sound, the very fine details are all there, for example the 1978 Stage keyboard sound on Ziggy Stardust, the great guitar work (no mean feat) solid bass playing and every drum break spot on.
And love the vocals, even Bowie couldn't do that early stuff later on live, some high notes there!
I have just been on your site and I will see you in Bromley in September.
I might shout out "Karma Man" for that one.
Thank you for making my night on Saturday.
Trevor

Hi Simon,Linda and Carol
Great to chat with you too, thanks for coming. Photos are in the "Sound + Vision" area of the web site - click on the camera icon. Check out "Recent Gigs" and "Our Favourites".
There are still some pictures from Farnham Maltings that we should add but the pictures that Sarah took last Saturday at Reading South Street didn't come out as well as she'd have liked. She's still sorting through them and any good ones will be uploaded on to the website. Look forward to seeing you at future gigs, thanks for your continued support!

Another great night, and a pleasure to chat with you all afterwards. Loved the 5 years song from the Ziggy Stardust Album.
Where are all the Gig photos located?
Please include 1984 in your song catalogue sometime.
All the best.

Hi Keith,
Great to meet you too. Thanks very much for contacting us through the website and for the davidbowie.com contact details - I'll send an email today. It's a real pleasure to be in a band that plays the great man's music and to talk to people who love it as much as we do. We really enjoyed the gig - it was very hot on stage, I think the weather and the World Cup was a big part of why the numbers were down on last year's gig. Everyone seemed to have a good time though. Hope to see you at a gig in the future for some more Bowie chat!
All the best,
Dave

To David
It was great to meet you at your gig at South Street tonight and have a chat with you. It was a shame there weren't more folk there but I guess you shouldn't play the same night as The Bowienetter picnic!!
Any case to advertise your band on Bowienet contact totalblamblam@davidbowie.com
He will put your dates in the news when there is nothing else to report. Tell him keiths sent you. He'll probably reply something funny too!!!
See you again.
Keith

Lucky for me the Railways my local and 2nd home so I've caught quite a few really good bands over the years,have to admit I'm not a massive Bowie fan (just a greatest hits cd owned) but my wife is.Gotta say you guys are a class act,it was great to see everyone getting into your vibe and you obviously loving it.It put a big smile on my face seeing my better half singing along to every song and enjoying your work so much.
Just know you guys will be welcomed back again.

Another great gig at Bromley last night, as usual not much voice this morning, looking forward to Lewisham in a couple weeks!
Thanks Marc

Where do I start, fell in love with Bowie in 72 with John I'm only dancing - to being front row at the resurrection of Ziggy at Hammersmith Apollo Heathen tour 2002 - you guys at Farnham Maltings were awesome!!! My wife and I danced to Life on Mars, she hasn't got over it yet - we're coming to see you in Hove on the 11th. Ben - Mick Ronson would be proud of you, fantastic guitar - please 'Width of a Circle' next time we see you!
(Posted on 2010-05-31 03:35:00 by ) -
Wow, what can I say? I was at the Thin White Duke tour in 76 (without my Mum's approval!). You brought it all back, and so much more. I have to say you were fabulous at Farnham Maltings yesterday evening. I can hardly speak today after singing every single song right along with you, at the top of my voice, and I haven't danced so much in ages. Thank you for a fantastic experience. And Ben - that guitar, those riffs - you rock!! C x

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to say what a brilliant gig you did on Saturday 6-2-2010 @ QMC in Basingstoke. We got our tickets via Kestrel FM, but Mandy, my wife, was not sure about it as she is not really a massive Bowie fan, but she is now.
I have to say we had a top night, and you are right the place was rocking. We are going to try and catch up with you @ Farnham Maltings at the end of May. Slight disappointment that you didn't do that early Bowie classic âThe Laughing Gnomeâbut as they say câest la vie.
Keep on Rocking
Regards
John & Mandy Dean
Basingstoke, Hampshire

A great tribute band, playing not just hits, but some tracks from just about all of the great man's Album catalogue.
Look forward to the gig in Farnham in May, get there if you can!!!

Saw you at QMC last night, it was absolutely fantastic. I was the one at the very front during the last couple of numbers. The lead guitarist in particular reminded me strongly of Mick Ronson during the Ziggy Stardust numbers and Dave's vocals were spot on.
(Posted on 2010-02-07 14:47:00 by ) -
Ron,
Thanks for you kind words. The band really enjoyed last night, you guys really made it one to remember. Thanks also goes to all at Central Studios and Silvertip. Great bunch of people to work with. We look forward "To, the return of the Thin White Duke"
Guitar wise - It's my oldest Guitar. I've had it, God 18 years now. It's a Patrick Eggle, Berlin Pro. Proudly states made in England on the head stock. It's fast, light and packs powerful killer tone. It's eats PRS guitars for brunch! - It was also the first time I used the 4 x 12 Marshall Amp and my new offical Mick Ronson Tone Bender Pedal. Worked great!
(Posted on 2010-02-07 12:00:00 by ) -
Last night at QMC in Basingstoke was brilliant! Dave, my son watches top bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica and he thinks you guys are superb. Ben, a new guitar since I saw you last year in Acton - what is it?
(Posted on 2010-02-07 10:50:00 by ) -
Great fun, the Ziggy set in particular very well performed. The only time you veered off 'message' was for Golden Years and I didn't think it worked quite so well. Otherwise a great night. I'd take rock'n'roll suicide over hang on to your self...but only just. Lots of fun. See you in Farnham.
(Posted on 2010-02-07 12:14:00 by ) -
Saw you at Bromley last night, still slightly hungover and no voice, a great sing along night then!!! thanks guys.

Hi guys, the tracks sound great! Hope to catch you again in Bromley.

Ben and gang
I just wanted to thank you for a great show at my wifeâs 40th at the beginning of last month.
She had a fantastic time and all her friends and family were bowled over by the evening - even those who would not normally know Bowie from Elvis! I think you may have converted a few new fans, young and old!
Best of luck for future gigs and thanks for making the evening one she will never forget! We will look forward to seeing you at the next gig.

Hi guys!
Regarding the person who sold Bowie a banger. Could this be the infamous "Rupert The Riley" that Bowie wrote a song about?

Really enjoyed the gig at South Street on Saturday......absolutely fabulous.....so many classic tracks and you guys played them so well that we were amazed....if anyone is reading this and still undecided as to whether to go and see a gig then honestly there is no decision to be made....JUST GO! You will not regret it!!!!
All the best for the future and keep up the good work!

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant!!!
We had such a good time last night at Reading South street, ears were ringing and throats were hoarse by the end of the evening from so much singing.
We will definatly be at more of your gigs, and bringing lots more friends with us next time.
Thanks guys

Thanks for all your comments. We don't have any festivals lined up currently though we hope to in 2010. Which festivals where you thinking of? Looking forward to playing in Reading this Saturday. See you there!!

Bunch of us coming 2C in reading next weekend !! Can;t wait. Are you guys doing any festivals this year ?

Hi TWD, We saw you saturday night at your gig in Gillingham, it was our first time at one of your gigs - but it won't be our last as you were wonderful!
I've seen the scottish Bowie tribute( Tigers on Vaseline) but I can safely say you give them a run for their money 100% :)
Anyone thinking of seeing you guys should make the effort, they won't be disappointed!
Hope to see you guys again soon & thank you for a great night!

Great night at the Horn. One of our favourite gigs we've been too and better atmosphere than recent stadium gigs for U2 and Bon Jovi. The band were really tight and 'Dave' fronted excellently. Looking forward to seeing them again in Hove or Reading
