Saturday 13 August was a great day for the latest Bowie concert at Croydon Road Recreation Ground. The weather was glorious for a change and the music was great. The Bowie tribute act looked and sounded very much like Bowie, and was kept on stage for encores.
The ground was full, with many families sitting on rugs or chairs. There were facepainting stalls, a bouncy castle and a slide, a tent showing Bowie memorabilia, book signing stalls and lots of food and drink.
The event was held to raise money for the restoration of the bandstand where Bowie held his “free concert” in August 1969.
