The Sound & Vision of Bowie is brought to life at The Factory Live

Aladdinsane, widely acclaimed as the best Bowie tribute in the UK returns to Worthing.

The band have played theatres, festivals and venues throughout the UK for the past 15 years, with Paul Henderson performing as David Bowie, with audiences commenting how eerily close his voice, moves and mannerisms are to that as Bowie.

Being a lifelong fan of Bowie, Paul got to see him on tour numerous occasions and met him in 1997 during his Earthling tour. He first caught national attention when he appeared on Stars In Their Eyes in 1993, the first series hosted by Mathew Kelly, where he performed Space Oddity, dressed as Bowie’s legendary Ziggy Stardust. From there he performed at conventions around the country.

After 1995 Paul embarked on playing his own material and spent the late 90’s recording his own songs. Around 2002 a friend asked Paul “why don’t you put a Bowie tribute together”. Paul replied saying “I would enjoy it too much and everything else I am planning will end up on the back burner”, and so it did as the start of Aladdinsane was in the midst.

Aladdinsane was the classic album that David released in 1973, which was the first album Bowie album Paul got as a child from his parents.

Steve Beeston (keyboards), Carl Stones (guitar), Franco Caprio (bass), Rick Cook (drums) and Paul as Bowie with 12 string acoustic, make up the sound of Aladdinsane today.

With so many songs to choose from you can hear hits like – Space Oddity, Changes, Ashes to Ashes, Heroes, Lets Dance, Drive In Saturday, Jean Genie, Life On Mars, Fame, Starman and Diamond Dogs to list a few, including some classic album tracks from Bowie’s vast repertoire.

Paul changes outfits during each show which can stem from any of Bowie’s tours from 1976 to 2003.
