Live: David Bowie and the Buzz, Pavilion Ballroom, Bournemouth

David Bowie and the Buzz performed at the Pavilion Ballroom in Bournemouth on Tuesday 15 February 1966.

Bowie had played at the venue numerous times in the summer of 1965 with his previous band, the Lower Third.

Backstage at the Pavilion, a man approached Bowie asking if he could record one of his songs. The suggestion came to nothing, and the identity of the person remains unknown.

This guy asked if he could record one of David’s songs. Maybe it was ‘London Boys’. I don’t think anything came of it, but it amazed me at the time.
