BOWIE: LIVE ON THE LOCH

David bowie’s original band members unite in Scotland for a landmark 10th anniversary charity gala weekend in aid of Save the Children.

To mark the 10th anniversary of the passing of one of the greatest artists who ever lived, the spirit of David Bowie will return to the Scottish shores he loved so deeply for one weekend only. On 7 and 8 November 2026, Cameron House on the banks of Loch Lomond will host Bowie: Live on the Loch, a two-day charity celebration in aid of Save the Children. Featuring an extraordinary reunion of Bowie’s original band members across two evenings of live performance, rare never-before-seen film footage, an extensive photography exhibition and a world-class dining experience, culminating in a spectacular charity guitar auction and a globally livestreamed concert.

The celebration begins on Saturday 7 November with an exclusive black-tie gala dinner set within Cameron House, prepared by Michelin-starred chef Graeme Cheevers of Glasgow’s renowned Unalome. The centrepiece of the evening will be Regent Sounds Presents: Earl Slick’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Guitar Auction. Hosted by Bowie’s longest-serving guitarist and the legendary London guitar shop – the auction will feature a once-in-a-lifetime collection of priceless, signed, collector-grade guitars. Confirmed contributors already include rock legends Peter Frampton and Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses), with further names to be announced.

On Sunday, 8 November, a once-in-a-lifetime live show will see Earl Slick joined on stage by past members of David Bowie’s band, including Mike Garson, Mark Plati, Sterling Campbell and Gail Ann Dorsey, alongside special guest performers. Woven throughout the weekend’s music and storytelling will be a screening of rare, never-before-seen film footage of Bowie and a curated photography exhibition showcasing rare and iconic imagery hosted within Cameron House’s cinema and event spaces.

Reflecting on the unique format and historical tie-in, Earl Slick says:

“David had a lot of motivation to help out. It wasn’t a big bragging thing – it was just done. That’s what I loved about it. He did it under the radar. We all live in increasingly uncertain and turbulent times around the world. More kids need more help. So it’s time to do it and I cannot think of anything that David would rather lend his support to.”

At the launch event for BOWIE: LIVE AT THE LOCH in ‪Regent Sound‬ studios in Demnark Street Earl Slick & Camille O’Sullivan performed David Bowie’s ‘Heros’

The House band :

● Earl Slick (Guitar): The razor-sharp sonic force who first joined Bowie for the 1974 Diamond Dogs tour. Slick’s masterful, cutting guitar work defined the eras of Young Americans and Station to Station and he remained a trusted collaborator decades later,
returning for modern masterpieces like Heathen, Reality, and Bowie’s acclaimed 2013 comeback album, The Next Day.
● Mike Garson (Piano/Keyboards): Bowie’s longest-serving band member, whose avant-garde, jazz-infused piano solo on the title track of Aladdin Sane remains one of rock’s most iconic instrumental moments. Garson was a musical constant throughout Bowie’s career, playing on over a dozen albums and traversing the globe from the final days of the Ziggy Stardust tour to the triumphant 2003/2004 A Reality Tour.
● Gail Ann Dorsey (Bass/Vocals): The powerhouse bassist and striking vocalist who anchored Bowie’s live band from 1995 until his final concerts. A fan favourite, Dorsey is immortalised by her spine-tingling vocal duets with Bowie on “Under Pressure,” most notably during his legendary, career-defining headline set at Glastonbury 2000.
● Mark Plati (Guitar/Bass/Musical Director): A pivotal creative collaborator during Bowie’s late ’90s and early 2000s renaissance. As co-producer, musical director, and multi-instrumentalist, Plati was instrumental to the dense, modern soundscapes of Earthling, the long-lost Toy album, and the band’s historic, critically lauded Glastonbury 2000 performance.
● Sterling Campbell (Drums): The rhythmic engine room of Bowie’s later career. First joining the fold in the early ’90s, Campbell provided the dynamic, driving beats for critically acclaimed albums including Outside, Heathen, Reality, and The Next Day, while powering the band through Bowie’s final monumental global tours.
