Good luck Marik…though going by tapes of previous performances I’ve heard, you don’t need luck. This is one talented lady with a remarkable voice.

Tonight David Brighton is David Bowie
We travelled for 5 hours by road to Mackinaw City to see the British Invasion Show. A tribute to British rock and pop icons David Bowie, Elton John and Rod Stewart.
The Show’s star performance was without a doubt David Brighton?s David Bowie impersonation. Having three Bowienet members and three who have followed David Bowie?s career for close to thirty five years meant that David Brighton had a hard audience in the three of us. If he had been bad we would have left. Frankly a homage is nice, but if you want to make a living being someone else then you better be good at it. He was.
David got the loudest reception from the audience. I heard shrills of delight and big yea yeas! David Brighton made an entrance dressed in a familiar Serious Moonlight yellow pastel suit. He opened with Let?s Dance and ran through a list of songs from the Serious Moonlight set lists. David included a fine 12 string guitar performance of Space Oddity and a medley of Under Pressure and Heroes. We all thought he sung Golden Years very well.
After all three tribute acts had had their go the three of them ended the show singing together. David Brighton dressed in a Rebel Rebel pirate costume with eye patch sang a fine duet with Elton John rocking and rolling the house down with a good version of Suffragette City. The audience on cue raised their voices at the Wham Bam Climax.
How would I describe David Brighton?s performance? He has got the movements and the timing of the real David Bowie down and so accurate with a demeanour to match. David Brighton puts on a jolly good show and I would go again. Just hope it’s nearer to Detroit. – Lindzay
