Britain's What's On Event Guide
Aladdinsane
The Sound & Vision of Bowie, widely acclaimed as the best Bowie tribute band in the UK with Paul Henderson performing as David Bowie.
Formed on 2004 Aladdinsane have played all over the UK, more recently at Rewind festivals, Kendal Calling and also abroad to Qatar.
Audiences constantly comment how eerily close Paul’s voice, moves and mannerisms are to that as Bowie.
Being a lifelong fan of Bowie, Paul got to see Bowie on tour numerous occasions and very briefly met him in 1997 during his Earthling tour. Paul first caught national attention when he appeared on Stars In Their Eyes in 1993, the first series hosted by Mathew Kelly, where he performed Space Oddity, dressed as Bowie’s legendary Ziggy Stardust. From there he performed at conventions around the country as Bowie.
Around 2002 a friend asked Paul “why don’t you put a Bowie tribute together”. Paul replied saying “I would enjoy it too much and everything else I am planning will end up on the back burner”, and so it did as the start of Aladdinsane was in the midst. Aladdinsane was the classic album that David released in 1973, which was the first album Bowie album Paul got as a child from his parents, hence why he chose the name for the band.
The line-up of the band changed during the 2000s and now with Steve Beeston on keyboards, Carl Stones on guitar, Franco Caprio on bass, Rick Cook on drums and Paul as Bowie with 12 string acoustic, make up the sound of Aladdinsane the band it is today. Having played at some wonderful theatres and travelled to places like Bahrain, Qatar and Berlin where Paul played an acoustic set at Hansa studios where Bowie recorded Heroes, he said it is like an ongoing rollercoaster.
With so many songs to choose from you can hear many hits like – Space Oddity. Changes, Ashes to Ashes, Heroes, Let’s Dance, Drive In Saturday, Jean Genie, Life On Mars, Fame, Starman and Diamond Dogs to list but a few, including some classic album tracks from Bowie’s vast reperto
