ABOUT THIS SITE

BOWIEGOLDENYEARS began life in 2000 as a tribute to a specific era (1974-80) in David Bowie's career at a time when the Internet was not yet bursting with Bowie tribute sites.

BOWIEGOLDENYEARS was described as 'superb' by David Bowie's website, and in 2010 The Guardian named it Site Of The Week. This led to an invitation from publisher Omnibus Press to expand and adapt the site as a large format fully illustrated book, David Bowie The Golden Years which was published internationally December 2016 by Omnibus Press.

A Japanese language version was subsequently published by Shinko Music.

Since the book's completion I have been overhauling the entire site and will be releasing pages as they are completed. Stay tuned here and at the book's Facebook page for news and updates.
