Ziggy Played Guitar

Overview

More than a month has passed since the death of David Bowie; however his isn't a loss the world can just get over. Arcade Fire and Ewan McGregor are among those who have paid tribute to the iconic performer in recent weeks, and now it's The John Steel Singers, WAAX, Born Joy Dead, MKO Sun and Inigo's turn.

They'll all be taking to the stage at Ziggy Played Guitar, aka the Foundry's aptly titled celebration of one of music's enduring heroes. And they'll be joined by Dean McGrath from Rolls Bayce, Spencer White from Morning Harvey and Orphans Orphans, Joe White and Nathan Kendall from The Jensens, Jonathan Boulet, Emma Dean and more. Yes, there's an ever-growing list of talent keen to recognise the life and influence of an artist like no other.

Watch this cast of local greats belt out classic Bowie tracks and do their best to channel the spirit of Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane and the Thin White Duke — and know that you're doing your part to help, too. Proceeds from the evening will be donated towards helping cancer charities, in an effort to not only assist others suffering from the disease, but to mirror the great man's passion for addressing the world's many problems.
