It's the big Bowie weekend #inrdg!
It's a decade since we lost David Bowie, so of course there are events this week to mark the life and music of the man who fell to Earth and/or sold the world.
On Friday, a special DJ night at Milk, spinning the best of Bowie and raising a bit of money for Laura's Lasting Legacy - buff.ly/JqZlzOx
