OPINION - Alan Edwards: I worked with David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, The Who and this is what I learnt

As a child I was a keen reader of adventure books, but I could never have imagined then that I’d write one, let alone be the central character.

When I was 16, I saw David Bowie on the tour where he debuted Ziggy Stardust. There were only a couple of hundred people in the audience. At one point David sat on Mick Ronson’s shoulders while the guitarist walked around the sparse crowd. I could never have imagined then that I would ever get to meet Bowie, let alone work for him for nearly 40 years.
