The Erdal Kizilcay Band –  at The Water Rats, London, Wednesday 16th April 2014.

“I met him at a club. I heard him playing and was amazed; he kept switching instruments all night long and he was great on everything he touched! So I asked him if he wanted to start working with me.” David Bowie on Erdal Kizilcay, 1987.

Erdal Kizilcay is one of most proficient pop and rock musicians of his generation. He recorded, toured and co-wrote with David Bowie for 13 years, and has worked with many great artists including Iggy Pop, Queen, Tina Turner and Jacques Dutronc. After a series of successful gigs in London last year, Erdal returns from his Swiss home to play a set of Bowie, Iggy and other songs with his band, plus some very special guests.

Highlights of Erdal’s career with David Bowie include the albums ‘Never Let Me Down’, ‘The Buddha of Suburbia’ and ‘1.Outside’, as well as the Glass Spider (1987) and Sound & Vision (1990) world tours. Songs co-written by David Bowie and Erdal Kizilcay include ‘Girls’, which was covered by Tina Turner, ‘When the Wind Blows’ from the film of the same name and ‘Too Dizzy’ from Never Let Me Down, plus a number of co-writes with the rest of the band and Bowie on the Outside album. Erdal played drums, bass, guitar, keyboards and backing/harmony vocals on Iggy Pop’s seminal 1986 synth pop/rock crossover album ‘Blah Blah Blah’.

For your chance to win a pair of VIP tickets to the gig, which include watching  the soundcheck and a meet and greet with the band simply answer this question:
