Summary
This week on Rockonteurs we welcome lifelong friend of David Bowie, Geoff MacCormack to the podcast. Geoff met David when they were at school and remained friends throughout David’s incredible career. Geoff provided backing vocals on various tracks on Young Americans, co-wrote songs on Diamond Dogs and took thousands of photos of his friend. Many of which can be seen in the stunning photographic memoir ‘David Bowie: Rock n Roll with Me’ – which includes a wonderful afterword from David.
Rockonteurs is produced by Ben Jones for Gimme Sugar Productions.
