I was lucky enough to witness the group Holy Holy recently at Manchester’s Ritz. For those of you who don’t know, they play David Bowie songs, and are fronted by Heaven 17’s Glenn Gregory. They are, by anyone’s reckoning, absolutely fantastic.
But for many, what elevates Holy Holy above a Bowie tribute act is the presence in the band of Woody Woodmansey on drums and Tony Visconti on bass. Again, for those of you who are unaware, Woody played drums on Bowie’s early records – from The Man Who So
