About the event
From See Tickets's listing
10 YEARS ON, BOWIE'S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND' 7:30pm, Friday 9th January, Chinnery’s, Southend We are pleased to announce a very special show with Absolute Bowie, the UK’s Best Tribute Band and Best Bowie act for a very special show at Chinnery’s in Southend on Friday 9th January. The show is taking place on the weekend on what would have been David Bowie’s birthday and marking the 10th anniversary of his passing, this show is both a celebration and a tribute to one of the most iconic artists in music history. Now in their 20th year of touring, Absolute Bowie deliver an electrifying performance packed with theatrical flair, breathtaking musicianship, and more costume ch-ch-ch-anges than any other Bowie tribute in the world. From Ziggy Stardust to Aladdin Sane, The Thin White Duke to Let’s Dance, this is a full-throttle journey through the eras, personas, and sounds that made Bowie a legend. With rave reviews from NME ("a lovingly crafted Bowie show") and the Mail on Sunday ("an unmissable tribute act"), Absolute Bowie don’t just play the songs, they embody the spirit of the man who fell to Earth. Expect two full sets of Bowie’s greatest hits performed by a world-class five-piece band led by the magnetic John O’Neill, plus dazzling costumes and moments that will leave you breathless. From Absolute Beginners to Heroes—this is sure to be an emotional night so come and meet them… they might just blow your mind.…

How I list these
Everything here comes from the feeds of the ticket and experience sellers I work with: See Tickets. That's a lot, but it isn't everything on in Southend-on-Sea: venues that sell their own tickets, or sell through sellers whose feeds don't reach me, won't show here yet.
Events are in date order, and a show on several dates appears once, on its first, with how many more there are. Things to do any day start with the seller's own UK picks, then those rated 4.5 or more, guided before self-guided, shared before private, then by rating and price. Every ticket link is an ad: if you buy, the seller may pay me commission, at no cost to you. Commission never changes what's listed or the order.
A price is the seller's lowest for one ticket (or one person, when two book a tour together), as its feed gives it, and I've checked on each seller's own pages what it covers. See Tickets's includes its booking fee, and it adds an order fee to each booking (£1.25 to £4 on the events I checked), which I show beside the price. Where I haven't checked what a seller's price covers, or its feed is more than a day and a half old, I show no price at all.
I don't list resold tickets for football in England and Wales, or for any match in a UEFA or FIFA competition: selling or advertising them without the organiser's permission is a crime (section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994). Times are UK times. Events change and sell out, so the seller's page is the final word.
