Great excitement amongst the 90,000 strong Friars
Aylesbury membership as we announce that Holy Holy
featuring Tony Visconti, Woody Woodmansey and Heaven
17’s Glenn Gregory will play Friars Aylesbury on
Monday 3 April next year.
This will be the first time that original Spiders from
Mars drummer Woody Woodmansey has played the Ziggy album
in Aylesbury since the classic David Bowie show on 15
July 1972 – 44 years ago.
Tony Visconti worked closely with Bowie throughout his
career producing with Bowie no less than 12 classic
Bowie albums, ‘David Bowie’ (1969), ‘The Man Who Sold
the World’ (70), ‘David Live’ (74), ‘Young Americans’
(75), ‘Low’ (77), ‘Heroes’ (77), ‘Stage’ (78), ‘Lodger’
(79), ‘Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) (80), ‘Heathen’
(2002), ‘Reality’ (2003), ‘The Next Day’ (2013) and
Bowie’s final album ‘Black Star’ in 2016.
Tony produced 7 albums with T Rex including their
classic Electric Warrior album. He has also produced and
worked with Georgie Fame, Badfinger, Gentle Giant,
Caravan, Osibisa, Thin Lizzy, Adam Ant, The Kaiser
Chiefs, Manic Street Preachers, Morrissey and Iggy Pop
amongst many others.
In 2014 Woody and Tony formed Holy Holy, specifically to
perform ‘The Man who Sold the World’ album live. Tony
not only produced this classic 1970 album but also
played bass on the album with Woody on drums and the
legendary late Mick Ronson on guitar. The group
undertook a short tour in the UK in September 2014 and a
larger scale tour of the UK and Japan in the summer of
2015. In January 2016 they toured the east coast of the
United States and followed this with a full tour of US
and Canadian cities in Spring of this year.
Bowie formed the Spiders from Mars (Trevor Bolder, Woody
Woodmansey and Mick Ronson) in the tiny Borough Assembly
Hall Friars Aylesbury dressing room on September 25th
1971. Aylesbury’s Kris Needs and David Stopps were there
when he said “ This was great tonight – Let’s form a
band and go out and do it properly”.
The Spiders all hailed from Hull, so to mark the city
being designated ‘City of Culture 2017’ two concerts
with Holy Holy were organised, but this time doing the
iconic Ziggy Stardust album. Both sold out in a day. The
Friars Aylesbury date will be a few days after the Hull
dates.
Holy Holy are Tony Visconti on bass, Woody Woodmansey on
drums, Glenn Gregory on vocals, James Stevenson from The
Alarm, Gene Loves Jezebel, Gen X, The Cult and Chelsea
on guitar and Berenice Scott and Jessica Morgan on
keyboards.
