DJ Setlist: “It’s Been Five Years” – Tribute To David Bowie, San Fran, Saturday, January 9, 2021

In honour of it being five years since the release of Blackstar and David Bowie’s birthday and the weekend we mark five years since his death I decided to roll out some of my favourite Bowie songs again in a DJ set tribute. It’s Been Five Years…

Always a bit of fun – and pressure – trying to make a long evening out of one artist. What songs do you play? And when? What ones do you leave out knowing they’ll be asked for later, what ones do you slip in early to please the fans that came for a pint at the start? Etc…

So here’s the tunes I played and the order I played them in…
