ABOUT JOHN CAMBRIDGE
John Cambridge began his musical career in the Hull band, The Gonx before joining ABC, The Hullabaloos and The Rats with Mick Ronson. During the 1960s, he supported and performed with some of the biggest names in the music business. He was invited to join Junior’s Eyes in 1969, a band led by Mick Wayne, who had played on David Bowie’s first hit single ‘Space Oddity’. Junior’s Eyes subsequently became Bowie’s band and recorded the ‘Space Oddity’ album, after which John toured and eventually moved in with him, Angie Bowie and Tony Visconti.
John then played in Bowie’s ground-breaking glam-rock band ‘Hype’ with Mick Ronson and Visconti, after John had introduced Mick to Bowie at Haddon Hall where they lived. His friendship with David Bowie lasted a lifetime, and in 2021 John finally recorded his memoirs in ‘Bowie, Cambo & all the Hype’ which Garry Burnett has also adapted into a screenplay ‘An Occasional Dream’ (2025)
John has been a keynote speaker at The World Bowie Fan Convention, Liverpool, (2022), performed at The Beckenham Oddity (2022), appeared in sell-out shows at The Edinburgh Fringe Festiva’ (2023) and the East Riding Theatre (2023) with his highly successful and entertaining ‘Evening with John Cambridge.’
He has also been a star of the highly successful stage show ‘Turn and Face the Strange’, which since 2017 has sold out 5 runs at Hull Truck and Hull New Theatre and which attracted visitors from around the world, all keen to hear John’s stories. In 2024, John recorded an episode of BBC’s ‘The Repair Shop’ which has yet to be aired, featuring part of his costume from the Glam Rock gigs with Hype.
