Ziggy Played Guitar 18/2/17

It was meant to be our night off - but we just had to tell you about the awesome screening last Thursday night of the legendary concert film, Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (Vid Of The Day), which was screened at Hammersmith’s Apollo for the first time since the concert took place on July 3rd 1973. The event kicked of with a DJ set from female duo The Smoking Guns, followed by the group Animal Noise, who are massively influenced by Bowie’s work, before the 1973 documentary and concert film by D. A. Pennebaker, was shown. Bowie made the surprise announcement that the show would be "the last show that we'll ever do", later understood to mean that he was retiring his Ziggy Stardust persona. Pure Rock history.
