Buddha bass player Chris meets a music legend


Last week Funky Buddha's bass player Chris had the honour of sharing the stage with bass legend Herbie Flowers.

Chris was playing in the house band for 'We Could Be Bowie' at the Brighton Ballroom.  The gig was a tribute to the music of David Bowie.  Some fantastic local artists took to the stage to perform their interpretations of some Bowie classics. 

Herbie Flowers (who played bass on 'Space Oddity' and 'Diamond Dogs') was invited to play some songs and share some of his experiences of recording and touring with David Bowie.

Herbie played 'Rebel Rebel', 'Space Oddity', 'Heroes' and the Lou Reed, Bowie produced song 'Walk On The Wild Side' (which features two bass parts).

The show will hopefully but put on again next year as part of the Brighton Fringe Festival.
