This is me playing G# all the time and definitely no-one noticed

Very good. Try playing G and see if anyone notices!
As I hear it on the original version, Bowie's harmonica playing is a little ragged and his semitone down bend G# to G is not always wholly accurate ... but hey, it's rock 'n' roll ... and the blues scale G natural is only a passing note anyway ... and little variations are fine like EEEEAG ...and if someone played G# occasionally most people ain't going to notice.
Q1: Why can't a singer sing a song in a particular key?
A: Because the song in that key doesn't suit the range of the singer's voice - and while the range of a singer's voice can be extended with practice, it is also limited by physiology.
Q2: Why can't a guitarist play in, for example, the key of Eb?
A: Because guitarist hasn't bothered to learn all the chords and their inversions.
My sister's granddaughter (age 8), i.e. my great-niece, does everything left-handed and/or left-footed. On my advice they got her a left-handed guitar ...
... which she insists on playing right-handed.

If the on hold / subject to the usual etc fails, let me know

My apologies but now sold.
What stood out for me was the perfection of Rogers' rhythm playing.
As for the bass, I thought that was also pretty much nailed.
Indeed, the whole thing kept tight and quite straightforward was fantastic.
But Rogers' guitar holds it all together.
No actual brothers - Scott Engel, John Maus, Gary Leeds..
Lead vocalist Scott Walker, n[size=4]é[/size] Engel, was a bassist by profession but by all accounts the bassist on 'No Regrets' is Darryl Runswick.
Scott Walker ....
Daryl Runswick ....
I bought them around late 2011 or early 2012. They had about a year of occasional use and since then have been stored in a cool dry place.
Total use I would estimate somewhat less than fifty hours.
