When Angie Bowie played Ruth Ellis

19/09/2024

Carlos Alomar really is superb. I’ve studied loads of Bowie songs over the years, and there’s always something very particular when his guitar parts are at play. He’s a great arranger, and his lead lines are always so smart and well put together. If your bag isn’t screaming licks you tend to get overlooked
PS He can do that as well.
He really is an outstanding player - so musical

'Roll up. Roll up! Dear patrons, these sights are but the beginning. For as the night unfolds, so too shall we delve into the shadows of the unknown, where the line between the normal and the bizarre blurs into an eerie twilight. What is real? What is illusion? Only your heart can tell as it races in your chest.'

“He had the opportunity to make loads of money playing huge venues but he’d rather play small venues because that’s where the most energy is.”

Early on in the career of Micko Westmoreland, a journalist from The Independent described him as being "half stuck in a timewarp."  And while that might be a slightly simplistic summary of someone who is ultimately a multi-facetted polymath, everything from an actor to musician, programmer and sou...
