Colchester: David Bowie tribute events eight years on

Three Wise Monkeys, in High Street, and The Victoria Inn, in North Station Road, will host two shows in memory of the inimitable artist, who died from a battle with cancer on January 10, 2016.

The Prettiest Starman: A Tribute to David Bowie headlined Three Wise Monkeys for a sold-out date last night and there will be a second performance on January 12.

Musicians Anton Pace, Paul Rutterford, Nelson Nice and Cara Bruns will return to the city to perform a setlist which delves through David’s ‘golden years’ in the 1970s.
