Is there life on Mars?

Mar2

Two Festival shows in two nights this week.

And two VERY different versions of Life On Mars by David Bowie.

First up on Thursday, The Bad Plus. (the quality is pretty poor on that video, but this will give you a better idea of their funky sound)

Then last night, The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain.

Good fun! :-)

PS I also recommend Cirque Ici (if you can still get a ticket?), although he didn’t play any Bowie.
