OK, time for the answers to, and the winners of, the contest for David Buckley‘s book: David Bowie – The Complete Guide To His Music that we set last week. (11.05.2004 NEWS: WIN DB’s GUIDE TO THE MUSIC OF DB)

Q1 – In June 1972, Roxy Music supported David Bowie for the first time where and when?
Croydon Greyhound, Park Lane, Croydon. June 25th 1972. (See above) David remembers this particular show for being the very first time he met Brian Eno, whom, the young Ziggy observed: “was dressed even more glamorously than I was.”!
