Legendary producer & musician Tony Visconti & iconic drummer Woody Woodmansey discuss the creative process of making Bowie's seminal 1970 album, from the song development through to recording & mixing

Tony Visconti is one of the most celebrated and respected record producers of the last 40 years. He has produced David Bowie, T-Rex, Thin Lizzy, Sparks, Morrissey, Hazel O’Connor and many others.

Woody Woodmansey worked with David Bowie from 1970 to 1973, playing on some of his best albums: The Man Who Sold The World, Hunky Dory, The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders Form Mars and Aladdin Sane.

The Man Who Sold The World album was a creative turning point for David Bowie. His career to that date was characterised by artistic inconsistency as he strove to find a successful formula on which to hang his emerging talent. The Man Who Sold The World is a coherent, conceptually continuous piece of work and the start of a 10 year period in which Bowie released an unbroken series of epochal albums. The late Mick Ronson (guitar), Tony Visconti (bass) and Woody Woodmansey (drums) formed a powerful and experimental band that helped to forge Bowie’s new sound on The Man Who Sold The World.

Tony Visconti and Woody Woodmansey will discuss the creative process of making the album, from the song development through to recording and mixing. Combining innovative production techniques and futuristic synth sounds with a hard/prog rock format, the album has been hugely influential to subsequent generations of musicians including Kurt Cobain.

Tony and Woody will be available for a book/record signing immediately prior to the event.
