David Bowie and 18th-Century London

This illustrated talk and document viewing commemorates the 10 year anniversary of David Bowie's death and will include discussion of his unrealised musical 'The Spectator' set in the London of the eighteenth century.

The talk will explore prints of London during this period and you'll have the opportunity to see some of the ephemeral material that The London Archives holds on David Bowie.

IMPORTANT: This talk will be taking place in-person only at The London Archives.
