ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS



Worked on this great  musical  film  with many great actors and singers including David Bowie RIP. 
I  was  part  of Flikker's Teddy boy gang! Also  danced  in the scene  with  David Bowie on the giant  Record player. The  song was 'That's Motivation' was  sung  by  Mr  Bowie. The  other scenes  I was involved in were, smashing a  sweetshop widow and being confronted  by the wonderful Irene Handl RIP as Mrs Larkin and  in the scenes  with Steven  Berkoff  as 'The Fanatic'  in the ultra-right meeting.


I met David Bowie and had several chats on ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS !
I met Angie Bowie in 1985 at The Fulham Boulevard which I managed and was the host too. Angie came in most nights and got very drunk. I mentioned that i knew the Who management / Track records which she has a contact with. ( I saw her 45 rpm's on the shelf) We talked about David Bowie. She was a really hard women and very her personality was heavy! LOL!
Great to meet Tony Visconti and Woody Woodmansey in 2018 in Beckenham at a Bowie Event.

I am blessed !

Derek
