Hello, Bowie-heads
Step into the world of David Bowie - a rare gathering of leading authors, music and ideas in Coventry.
This is not just an event. It is an invitation into the shifting, restless world of David Bowie.
On 16 May from 19.00 hrs, step inside the LTB Showrooms in Coventry for an evening where music, ideas and identity collide - where Bowie is not just remembered, but re-examined, re-heard, re-imagined.
At the heart of the evening, writers, thinkers, musicians and fans come together - those who explore Bowie, and those who are inspired by him.

Why Coventry?
Not where you would expect a gathering of Bowie creatives. And yet, everyone involved has strong links to this central point on the map. Coincidence... maybe or the start of a myth.
