Ian performs one of his favourite shows, When Bowie Met Joni, fusing the words and music of two of popular music’s genius giants, Joni Mitchell and the much-missed David Bowie. Traversing the mammoth back catalogue of these legendary and influential artists, this solo show draws on stories from the early seventies and our own ideals of love, hope and the endless presence of the darker truths of recent times.
Friday 15th August, 7pm. Crazy Coqs, Piccadilly, W1.
