9:30pm – 11:00pm - 2nd Set
WILLOUGHBY – 8 FEBRUARY 2019
Our first show at our new home – Club Willoughby - is on Friday February 8 2019. The new room holds up to 300 people and there’ll be more room to move between tables. There’s also a built-in raised stage and a big purpose-built dance floor… so you’ll get a great view from anywhere in the room and there’ll be no more rubbing shoulders while shuffling on carpet when you dance. Great food can be ordered from the Bistro downstairs and delivered to your table upstairs. And there’s parking for 200 cars!
JEFF DUFF'S BOWIE UNZIPPED
“If you close your eyes, you could almost believe
it IS Bowie on stage!”
- FASTER LOUDER MAGAZINE
To launch the new room, we’ve booked the one and only Jeff Duff and his all-star band to present their hugely acclaimed BOWIE UNZIPPED show across the entire night.
January of 2019 will mark three years since the world lost one of its most influential and best loved musicians in David Bowie. Since then, there have been numerous tribute concerts, both big and small and worldwide recognition of the wonderful legacy that Bowie left behind.
But Jeff Duff is no newcomer to Planet Bowie… he’s been singing the Legend’s songs for decades, with the glowing support of Bowie’s own official web site. BOWIE UNZIPPED salutes the great man's ever evolving musical career, coloured with Jeff's unique interpretation of Bowie's remarkable and enduring songbook.
Backed by a killer band, Jeff sings classics like Space Oddity, Let’s Dance, China Girl, Life On Mars, Changes, Heroes, Young American and Ziggy Stardust... among many other faves. Duffo will keep the EL audience in high gear throughout the night. There’ll be changes into stunning Bowie-esque costumes, canters through the crowd that will no doubt include posing for celebrity selfies and constant other audience interaction. This is not the usual flotsam and jetsam of a tribute show, but a whole Titanic performance channeling David Bowie, all night long.
Put simply, Jeff Duff presents one of the slickest, most professional acts to ever grace our stage. The tight musicianship and flawless interpretations of Bowie’s brilliant songs will have us captivated - a standing ovation is assured.
This is the real deal, complete with amazing musical performances, stunning costuming and world class delivery of the best of the Bowie songbook. As no less a reviewer than Glenn A Baker says: “I don’t think it’s overstating the case to say that, had Jeff Duff hailed from a country in the top half of the world, he could now be as acknowledged and acclaimed as David Bowie, Lou Reed or Iggy Pop.”
We sincerely hope you continue to support Live Music in general and Eastern Lounge in particular at our new home, as you have for the last eight years, including six in Roseville.
