Bowie Nights: Anna Calvi and Carlos Alomar in Conversation with Guitars

CANCELLED: Due to unforeseen circumstances affecting talent availability. Ticketholders have been contacted directly. If you have not heard from us, please get in touch. We apologise for the disappointment this news brings, and will endeavour to re-programme this event in the future.

Carlos Alomar and Anna Calvi take to the stage in Lightroom for an in-depth conversation about Bowie and his music.

Esteemed british songwriter and noted Bowie fan Anna Calvi will discover  – from Bowie’s former musical director, co-writer and guitarist Carlos Alomar – the inside track on the recording sessions, stage shows and tours that defined the 30-year span of their collaboration; for Carlos, hearing first hand from a contemporary star about the influence that Bowie’s music has had and how the paths it uncovered are being explored by the musical talents of today.

Both Carlos and Anna have their instruments on stage. And so the discussion is free to break into periods of playing – whether Carlos is unpicking the complexity of a famous riff, or Anna is sharing an interpretation, exploring something new, or presenting her version of an iconic line.

The discussion is accompanied by visuals projected across Lightroom’s four walls and floor – transporting the audience to the many worlds of Bowie – Hansa Studios, the Hammersmith Odeon, Earl’s Court and more.
