We've spoken about getting Baby Universal gig ready as well as Under The God, but with so much other Bowie material to hand, they've kind of taken a back seat.

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 After two days, it's fairly clear which song is going to come out on top, but there are only a couple of votes between 2nd, 3rd and 4th places. If you haven't done so, please visit our [url="http://www.changestwobowie.co.uk"]homepage[/url], choose a song and click 'vote'. It's just for fun, but the results so far are not what I expected.

SpondonBassed Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1499709749' post='3333075'] Just for a bit of fun, we've added a poll to the front page of our web site. We usually learn songs in batches of six (i.e. one choice each), but we're a bit pushed for time before the next gig, so have agreed we will do three. But which three? We've all chosen one each. All you have to do is go to our [url="http://www.changestwobowie.co.uk"]homepage[/url] and vote for one song. We will learn the three that get the most votes. Closing date 31/7/17. [/quote] As a fan of Victor Meldrew I tend to avoid polls because they wind me up. To misquote the old curmudgeon; [i]I'd rather creosote a rhinoceros[/i] than take part. I was curious about one tune of DB's however; Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud (or Freedom, if you have seen one of the rare releases with that typo)... if it was in your set you'd do the first version sans orchestral accompaniment wouldn't you? Or have you got an ambitious keyboard jockey who can MIDI up a convincing orchestra for you? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEBFF isn't one of them this time around, but nothing is off limits, with the exception of The Laughing Gnome 😀 Actually, after this morning's band conversation, I don't think we will be doing She's Got Medals anytime soon either. Sorry Andy_L 😬 I'll have a word with our keys player. He's a music teacher and he's all MIDI'd up, so I'm sure it would be do-able. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorR Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I vote for "Love You 'Till Tuesday" - I unaccountably had a copy of "The World Of..." not long after it first came out as a 6 or 7 year old.

Another dodgy one would be the Little Bombardier I'd imagine. That one's a bit difficult to listen to post Savile. How on earth would you perform that to an audience in good conscience these days I wonder? Cheers chap. I listened to the early B side release of WEBFF after my last post here and I liked it a lot. There was, I think, a cello accompaniment, possibly an oboe too. Now I am not sure which of those two versions I'd favour. I doubt either version would serve in your set very well though but thanks for asking on my behalf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Some surprising results so far in the 'pick our next three songs' poll. Probably not surprising that Young Americans is favourite, but I really did think Breaking Glass would do better than it has. Also, Sister Midnight in second place? Given that Bowie only performed it on the Reality Tour, I didn't think it would be that popular. This is why I don't gamble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressed ...............NOW GET SOME GIGS UP HERE IN SCOTLAND Please Dave [/quote] That's very nice of you to say Dave. Thank you. Well, your wish could come true. We've started getting gigs through an agent and one of the other acts he manages have been sent far and wide, so there is hope. Last day of the poll today and 3rd & 4th spots are all tied up. Someone please break the deadlock Go to www.changestwobowie.co.uk and choose one from: Breaking Glass Can't Help Thinking About Me Hallo Spaceboy Sister Midnight Station to Station Young Americans The top three songs get the treatment for our gig at Chinnerys, Southend-On-Sea on 16/9.
