If you’re not aware of Hutch’s Bowie involvement, you’ll find the best online potted history at the wonderfully informative
But, if you can’t be bothered to click that far, in a nutshell, Hutch, along with David Bowie, was a member of both The Buzz (1966) and Feathers (1968). In April 1973 David and Hutch were reunited one last time, when DB asked Hutch to join his touring band as 12-string guitarist for the remaining Aladdin Sane shows in Japan and the UK.
John, who is apparently touring Holland at the moment, has agreed to play a couple of acoustic songs somewhere between 1:00pm and 3:00pm.
Thanx again to Peter Smit for details of this performance and to Bert Slappendel for supplying the above picture of Hutch during a performance in Edam last summer…the place in Holland, not a load of the cheese…that would be plain daft!
*NB: In case you’re unfamiliar with the words, today’s lyrical quotation comes from a composition entitled Life Is A Circus which was part of David and Hutch’s repertoire in December 1968. The song was originally released by American outfit, Djin.
