This salon is part of the Soho Series at London's exclusive Century Club
The career of David Bowie has been one of the most colourful and intriguing in modern rock history. From his first appearance as balladeer Davy Jones in the 60s to his spectacular gender-bending debut in the 70s as Ziggy Stardust, Bowie’s career spanned nearly fifty years and has been cited as a major influence on contemporary artists and designers.
In this talk, Geoffrey Marsh, curator of the recent blockbuster David Bowie exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, uses the map of Soho to chart his rise to fame. Following his footsteps from his early gigs at the Marquee Club on Wardour Street to recording Space Oddity and Ziggy Stardust at Trident Studios on St Anne’s Court, Marsh will focus on Bowie’s early years in Soho and describe how this most unique and chameleon like of characters emerged out of the culture of the district.
