Bowie by Candlelight

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 14:33:00 GMT

Concerts by Candlelight are delighted to bring you Bowie by Candlelight, featuring 'David Live' The David Bowie Tribute Show. An incredible night of Bowie anthems including Let's Dance, Starman, Life on Mars, Rebel Rebel and more, performed by candlelight.

Book Now

David Live is one of the best tributes to any artist you will ever see - a respectful and charming homage, attracting praise from all corners of the Bowie community.

Chris Evans (BBC Radio 2) remarked, “THEY WERE FANTASTIC!” and Lord March, who had the band play at his renowned Goodwood Revival Party when the real David Bowie had to decline, exclaimed, “IT’S DAVID BOWIE!”

The band has performed for the BBC, for the Cambridge May Ball and for Lord and Lady Gerald Fitzalan-Howard at the wedding of their daughter, Florence. We recently had the honour of playing at The David Bowie World Fan Convention in Liverpool.

David Live was formed nearly 20 years ago and is considered the favourite amongst true Bowie fans. Between the hit singles, the band squeeze in really deep album cuts and rarer live versions for the Bowie faithful.

This show is all about our love and respect for David Bowie, and how his songs have shaped our lives.

“I’ll never forget seeing David Live - the authenticity was startling” - Will Brooker, author of “Why Bowie Matters”.

Illuminated Bal Maiden Installation

Wed, 14 Oct 2026 19:21:37 GMT

City of Lights CIC, the creative force behind Truro's beloved lantern parade for over 20 years, unveils their most ambitious creation yet - a magnificent four metre tall traditional Bal Maiden illuminated sculpture, honouring the spirit and heritage of St Dennis and Cornwall's clay country. The illuminated sculpture will be visiting Truro Cathedral in October half term.

This isn't just a lantern — she is a vessel for stories. Crossing land and sea, the Bal Maiden traveled from Cornwall to Lorient, Brittany, taking her place alongside the Kekezza dancers on the festival stage. Accompanying her: writer-in-residence Amanda Harris, gathered and shared tales from Cornwall's dispersed communities — voices exploring what it truly means to be Cornish.

Created by artists Anthony Crosby, Sue Loydell and Sam Horne-Norris Bradbury, with photography by Josh Simmonds, this installation is proudly supported by the Cornish Delegation for the Lorient Interceltic Festival 2026, Cornish Lithium and FEAST.

This incredible installation will be available to view during the cathedral's general visiting times from Monday 26 - Thursday 29 October.
