News: Bowie Supergroup Holy Holy Announce Farewell Tour
including date at the 1865 in Southampton…..
Holy Holy are the authentic sound of David Bowie’s early songs, starring drummer Woody Woodmansey from Bowie’s legendary backing band Spiders From Mars, and Bowie’s long-time friend Tony Visconti, who played on Bowie’s first two records and went on to produce ten of his albums throughout his career.
Performing Bowie compositions from 1970 through to his final album Blackstar, Woodmansey and Visconti will be joined on stage by Heaven 17’s Glenn Gregory (lead vocals), Paul Cuddeford and James Stevenson (guitars), Visconti’s daughter Jessica Lee Morgan (12-string guitar and sax) and the very talented Janette Mason (piano/keys).
The 12-date tour will begin in Glasgow on 3rd September and end in Hull on 19th September, and includes a date at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 10th September. Looking ahead to the UK tour, Woody Woodmansey said, “Since Holy Holy formed back in 2014, we’ve played to hundreds of thousands of Bowie fans around the world. From the audience response to the energy within the band, we’ve shared some truly amazing and unforgettable evenings together. We’ve toured the UK, Japan, Europe and the US — and every time the music connects just as powerfully.
“This upcoming tour feels especially meaningful. With the V&A Bowie exhibition now open, the recent preservation of Bowie’s legacy through the National Heritage Trust, and the 10th anniversary of David’s untimely passing, it feels like the right moment to come together again and celebrate what this music still means. We’re planning a show that truly reflects what Bowie’s music gave to the world — and what it continues to give to all of us. We aim to do him proud. See you there.”
