On this day, 54 years ago, DAVID BOWIE and his band played The Friars Club, in Aylesbury in 1971.

This was first gig that featured all three future Spiders From Mars, Ronno, Woody and Trevor. (They were also joined by ex-Animal Tom Parker on piano).

David wore his huge dark blue Oxford Bags, knee length boots, a white silk jacket and a large patterned shirt.

Support band America didn't perform due to other commitments. Other support acts were Lol Coxhill and Mick Softley.

After the 250 capacity sold-out gig, manager Tony Defries insists that they must be paid in cash for this performance. Owner/Promoter David Stopps pays the full amount... all in 50p pieces!

The official DAVID BOWIE 2003 promo video for 'New Killer Star' has received the make-over treatment with a HD upgrade.

The highly individual video was directed by the Los Angeles based film-maker Brumby Boylston. The video itself is based on the concept of early 70s lenticular postcards that reveal a different image depending on the angle at which it is viewed.

On this day, 60 years ago, DAVIE JONES officially changed his 'stage' name to 'DAVID BOWIE'.

David said: "Back in 1965, I seriously wanted a name change. The first attempt of several. This one was adopted for about three weeks, I even did a photo session for it apparently. The name? TOM JONES."

The stage name Tom Jones was also printed on the first 7 inch acetate for 'Liza Jane' backed with 'Louie Go Home', with an Advision Sound Studios label. The disc came from the collection of Mike Wakelin, bass player for 1960s British pop band The Naturals, who shared a manager with Bowie, Leslie Conn. Conn asked Wakelin to step in and play bass for Bowie's band the King Bees, so Bowie gave Wakelin this disc to help him rehearse. The pair performed as part of the King Bees on the BBC2 show The Beat Room in July 1964.

He chose the name 'Bowie' because it was "The ultimate American knife. It is the medium for a conglomerate of statements and illusions."

The main reason for the change of stage name was because of the emerging fame of Davy Jones on the London theatre stage, who would later become the lead singer of The Monkees.

Check out Radio 6 Music MUSIC UNCOVERED podcast via BBC Sounds - KATE MOSS explores the creative evolution of DAVID BOWIE.

With exclusive interviews and rare, unheard archive, this series looks at one of music's most transformative figures, exploring how David Bowie reinvented himself between 1970 and 1975 - from an ambitious folk singer to the era-defining rock legend.

There are 8 episodes of David Bowie: Changeling for your listening pleasure.

1. Oh You Pretty Things!
Kate Moss describes David's early life in Brixton, South London and the family influences that began to shape his early interest in music. School friend George Underwood describes going with David to see his first rock concert, which was Little Richard, when they were both 14 and Peter Frampton explains the help and advice his art teacher father gave Peter, George and David. Once he decided he wanted to become a musician, David moved quickly through several bands, each with a slightly different style - and in 1967 he became enamoured with the art of mime and met mime artist Lindsay Kemp, with whom he studied for several months. Then after years of struggle and experimentation, fuelled by a desperation to become famous, David finally scored his first hit in 1969 with 'Space Oddity'. With contributions from Brian Eno, St. Vincent, Sinead O'Connor, Rick Wakeman, Peter Frampton, George Underwood and Lindsay Kemp.

2. All The Madmen
Encouraged by the success of Space Oddity, David Bowie began working with producer Tony Visconti to craft another hit. He and his girlfriend Angie moved into a flat in Beckenham, South London, where Bowie drew inspiration from Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd and dabbled in musical theatre, influenced by Anthony Newley. At Haddon Hall, Bowie met Freddie Burretti, who became central to his evolving visual style, designing bold outfits that matched Bowie's artistic transformation. While developing new material in the basement studio, Bowie and his band - briefly known as Hype - played gigs under various names. This period of creative experimentation and reinvention is celebrated in a special event hosted by Kate Moss. With contributions from Tony Visconti, John Cambridge and Wendy Kirby.

3. The Warhol Connection
Amid writing, recording, and performing, David Bowie married Angie on March 20, 1970. With no time for a honeymoon, Bowie was back in the studio working on new material that explored themes of isolation and alienation. Frustrated with his lack of progress, Bowie parted ways with manager Ken Pitt and signed with Tony Defries, who believed in Bowie's star potential. The Man Who Sold The World was released in the U.S. in November 1970, and Bowie headed to America - packing his Mr Fish dresses - for a short promotional tour. Energised by the music scene there, Bowie returned to the UK and kept writing. In August 1971, he saw Andy Warhol's Pork at Camden's Roundhouse, a show that deeply influenced him. Bowie, Angie, and Defries connected with Warhol's team, many of whom later helped shape Hunky Dory. With contributions from Tony Defries, Tony Zanetta, Anya Wilson, Trevor Bolder, Ken Scott, John Mendelssohn and Woody Woodmansey. Narrated by Kate Moss.

4. Becoming Ziggy
David Bowie was captivated by Tony Zanetta - known as 'Z' - who played Andy Warhol in Pork, and asked him to arrange a meeting with Warhol in New York. During that trip, Bowie also met Lou Reed and Iggy Pop, both of whom would profoundly influence his music. Kate Moss explores Bowie's journey back in the UK where he was creatively recharged. Inspired by the artists and sounds he encountered, he began writing new material and shared his vision for a new persona: Ziggy Stardust. His next album, Hunky Dory, showcased Bowie's immense potential. Released on December 17, 1971, it featured tracks like Changes and Life on Mars?, which marked a turning point in his career. With contributions from Iggy Pop, George Underwood, Tony Zanetta, Woody Woodmansey, Anya Wilson and Leee Black Childers.

5. Walk On The Wild Side
Kate Moss digs into how Bowie brought Ziggy Stardust to life, through a striking transformation. Though Hunky Dory showed him with flowing golden hair, Bowie was already embracing a bolder look inspired by Warhol's circle and Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. Despite the daring style, early gigs drew small crowds - some nights just ten people - and not everyone embraced the new aesthetic. One early show featured Roxy Music, another band pushing boundaries. Bursting with creativity, Bowie wrote and produced All The Young Dudes for Mott The Hoople, an anthem that defined the era. Then in June 1972, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars was released. A month later, Bowie's electrifying Top of the Pops performance of Starman in full Ziggy costume became a cultural milestone. That summer, riding the wave of Ziggy's success, Bowie produced Lou Reed's Transformer. With contributions from Suzi Ronson, Trevor Bolder, Woody Woodmansey, Michael Watts, Mick Ronson, Phil Manzanera, Mick Rock, Ian Hunter, Lou Reed and Boy George.

6. A Lad Insane
In April 1973, David Bowie fulfilled a long-held dream by touring Japan. Designer Kansai Yamamoto gifted him a collection of flamboyant stage outfits that Bowie wore with confidence - looks that continue to inspire fashion today. On April 19, Bowie released Aladdin Sane, featuring the iconic lightning bolt artwork that became one of rock's most enduring images. As Ziggy Stardust's fame soared, Bowie's reality blurred with fantasy. Within just 18 months, Ziggy had become a global phenomenon. But fame came at a cost. The pressures of touring and financial strain began to mount. On July 3, 1973, at London's Hammersmith Odeon, Bowie dramatically retired Ziggy Stardust, closing a defining chapter in his career. With contributions from Mike Garson, Geoff MacCormack, Dana Gillespie, Lady Gaga, Chris Duffy, Harris Reed and Sir Paul Smith.

7. The 1980 Floor Show
Following the end of Ziggy Stardust, David Bowie entered a period of reinvention. While Tony Defries negotiated a complex publishing deal, Bowie owed RCA another album - so he recorded Pin Ups, a collection of covers that paid tribute to the songs that shaped his early musical journey. He and Angie spent the summer of 1973 at Château d'Hérouville in France working on the project. That same year, Bowie was invited by NBC to film a concert for their Midnight Special series. Unable to secure rights to adapt Orwell's 1984 for the stage, Bowie channelled his vision into a theatrical performance titled The 1980 Floor Show, filmed at London's Marquee Club. Still in Ziggy mode for one final outing, Bowie was joined by guests including The Troggs, Carmen, and Marianne Faithfull. With contributions from Marianne Faithfull, Chrissie Hynde, Cherry Vanilla, Mike Garson and Gene Simmons.

8. The Year of the Diamond Dog
The series concludes with Kate Moss exploring the lasting legacy of David Bowie and the story behind Diamond Dogs, an album that carried themes from Bowie's unrealised Orwell adaptation. Released on May 24, 1974, it marked a shift - Tony Defries had convinced Bowie to drop "David", and all promotional material referred to him simply as Bowie. Unable to stage his 1984 concept, Bowie transformed it into a theatrical U.S. tour, bringing in Broadway designers and choreographer Toni Basil. After months of rehearsals, the Diamond Dogs Tour launched in Montreal, pioneering large-scale rock theatrics and earning rave reviews. During the tour, Bowie began recording Young Americans in Philadelphia, and filmmaker Alan Yentob captured his volatile state in the documentary Cracked Actor. Bowie, inspired by the new sound, incorporated it into the tour's final leg and completed the album with Tony Visconti. The last track, Fame, was co-written with John Lennon. Cracked Actor aired in January 1975, catching the eye of director Nic Roeg, who cast Bowie in The Man Who Fell To Earth, sparking the birth of his next persona: The Thin White Duke. In just five years, Bowie evolved from a shy outsider into a global icon - constantly reinventing himself through music, fashion, and art. With contributions from Tilda Swinton, Dave Gahan, Robbie Williams, Florence Welch, Nick Knight, Christine & The Queens, Toni Basil, Jules Fisher, Mark Ravitz, Elton John, Geoff MacCormack, Tony Zanetta and Edward Enninful.

David Bowie related highlights below:

What can people expect from the David Bowie Centre later this year?

The David Bowie Centre will be a free to access home for David Bowie's Archive, recently acquired by the V&A through the generosity of the David Bowie Estate, the Blavatnik Family Foundation and Warner Music Group.

It's part of the wider V&A East Storehouse experience, and is designed to unpack what an archive is, and to give a rotating look at some of the 90,000+ items from David Bowie's archive. But not everything can be displayed at once, and this won't be the David Bowie Is... exhibition part two. It'll be free and ticketed so we can manage capacity in the space.

The David Bowie Centre is split into three separate zones, with a mix of small, curated changing displays and installations unpacking the archive, David Bowie's creative process, and his continued impact and contemporary resonance. There will likely be about 100-150 items from the archive on show at a time. There will also be quieter study areas, where you can book to view items from Bowie's archive on your own. You'll be able to see things like Bowie's iconic costumes, musical instruments, make-up charts, stage models, Oblique Strategies card decks, personal notes, writings, lyrics and music, sketches, designs and unrealised projects.

The David Bowie Centre opens this month on Saturday, 13th September.
