On Tuesday February 24 at Melbourne's Ding Dong Lounge,
David Bowie's guitarist Gerry Leonard
played a concert as his pseudonym 'Spooky Ghost' and
Bowie's bassist (Gail Ann Dorsey),
keyboardist (Mike Garson) and guitarist
(Earl Slick) joined him for a two hour
spectacular.

The opening act was a solo set by guitarist Ash
Naylor who has played in several bands such
as Even and currently, The Ronson
Hangup.
Unfortunately, Ash did not play his song 'Bowie in My
Dreams' but the following night, he was indeed spotted
down the front of the Bowie concert.
"As fate would have it, I ended up
sitting in the next seat to him at the first
Melbourne concert. Row 10.... He was transfixed by
Bowie".
~ Harry Williams, BDU member.
As in Sydney a few days earlier, Gail Ann
Dorsey played a short acoustic set centred around her
current album I Used To Be.
Following Gail was Gerry Leonard who played much of his
new Spooky Ghost album The
Light Machine.
Mike Garson joined Gerry for an instrumental and Earl
Slick also joined in for a couple of tracks.
Later when the gig finished, there were opportunities to
meet band members and get things signed.
