"It's all part of Ziggyfest, a celebration of the late, great David Bowie at Mayfair's Ziggy Green, a Bowie-themed cafe from Aussie cafe collective Daisy Green. The place is usually filled with Bowie-based art and serves Bowie-inspired cocktails, like the Major Tom and Milk and Red Peppers, as well as gourmet Shepherd's pie, which was supposedly the musician's favourite dish. But, from 12 noon to 1am on Saturday September 6, it's planning a full day of celebrations in memory of the Thin White Duke."
"The festivities will begin with a champagne brunch hosted by Spiders From Mars drummer Woody Woodmansey and Bowie's hairstylist Suzi Ronson. The rest of the day will include a Bowie tour of Soho by Geoff Marsh (the curator of the V&A's David Bowie Is) and a conversation with one of his photographers, Chris Duffy. In the evening, there'll be DJ sets and live music from musicians who played with Bowie at Live Aid."
"And, you'd better get your best flamboyantly androdrynous outfit nailed down now, because the winner of the Bowie lookalike competition will take home a £500 cash prize, a Daisy Green black card and a self-portrait by Duffy. No god awful small affair to see here. Ziggyfest takes place from 12 noon to 1am at Ziggy Green, 1 Heddon Street, W1B 4BD. Tickets range from £40-£100 and are available to buy here."
