Live: David Bowie and Hype, Three Tuns, Beckenham

David Bowie and Hype performed at Beckenham’s Three Tuns pub on 1 March 1970.

This was Bowie’s 39th and final appearance at the venue. It was for Growth – the Beckenham Arts Lab, which he had co-founded the year before.

The Arts Lab events were mostly held on Sunday nights at the pub. Towards the end of 1969 Bowie’s interest had started to wane as his career began to take off, and by early 1970 his appearances became less frequent.
