Bowie & Fripp
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Mon., May 13, 2013
Media hussy that he is, Robert Fripp is once again set to appear on prime time TV. This time he’s going to be one of the talking heads that will be popping up in BBC TV’s David Bowie documentary, Five Years which airs on Saturday 25th May. Diary readers will recall RF mentioning filming taking place on 15th March 2013. TV reviewer Boyd Hilton tweeted at the weekend: David Bowie: Five Years on BBC2, Sat, May 25 is not to be missed. The best Bowie documentary ever. Best contributions: Robert Fripp #Bowie

Congratulations to Stephanie Poe who told me that Sir Christopher Wren designed St Paul's cathedral. Her name was plucked out of the fickle fedora of fate and so she wins herself a copy of Robert Fripp's At The End Of Time for her troubles. Stay tuned for another great DGMLive giveaway!
