NPL Presents: ALADDIN SOUND literature and poetry, at Purcell Room at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX, England at 7.45pm Kevin Armstrong: When Kevin received an invitation to record with a ‘Mr. X’ in 1985, it was, he says, a ‘marvelous surprise’ when David Bowie walked in. Over a ten-year period, Kevin recorded ‘Absolute Beginners’, ‘Dancing in the Street’ and the first Tin Machine album with Bowie as well as contributing to the Outside album. He played guitar with Bowie at Live Aid, played on Iggy Pop’s album Blah Blah Blah, produced by Bowie and continues as Iggy’s band leader.

It also includes more intimate writings, thought processes and unrealised projects, the majority of which have never been seen in public before.

I’m thrilled to honor David again with this new explosive collection of truly unique and brilliant artists and musicians,” Scrote said in a statement. ” This new show represents two sides of Bowie. With Peter Murphy, we have the dark baritone shrouded in mystery and wonder. With Adrian Belew, the tuneful tenor gleefully singing Bowie favorites while delivering the otherworldly guitar playing he is revered for.” Brilliant Adventure E.P. and Toy E.P.
