Scottish singer-songwriter Callum Beattie has joined the lineup for the upcoming Bowie: Live On The Loch charity event. The two-day gathering at Cameron House on Loch Lomond will mark the tenth anniversary of David Bowie's death.
The event is scheduled for November 7 and 8 in aid of Save the Children. It will feature a reunion of the band that backed Bowie at his Glastonbury 2000 headline set, including guitarist Earl Slick, keyboardist Mike Garson, bassist Gail Ann Dorsey, multi-instrumentalist Mark Plati and drummer Sterling Campbell.
Beattie will perform an intimate acoustic set and join members of Bowie's band on stage. "Being asked to play with this band is one of the greatest honours of my life," he said. "If it wasn’t for Bowie, there’s no way I’d be a singer or a songwriter."
The weekend begins with a black-tie gala dinner prepared by Michelin-starred chef Graeme Cheevers. Attendees can also view rare Bowie footage and a photography exhibition. The event will include a global livestream of Sunday’s concert.
Beattie is also due to perform at Edinburgh Castle on July 10 with Reverend and the Makers as special guests.
