While not quite as well-known for their recorded output or reputation as a band compared to The Spiders, David Bowie & The Buzz were clearly hard working having performed around a hundred shows during the rest of 1966. This was a much heavier workload than David had been used to with his previous bands up to that point. The Buzz consisted of: David Bowie (vocals, guitar, saxophone), John 'Hutch' Hutchinson (guitar), Derek 'Dek' Fearnley (bass guitar), John 'Ego' Eager (drums) and Derrick 'Chow' Boyes (keyboards). Hutch first met David at The Marquee during a successful audition in the run up to the Leicester gig. John Hutchinson: “I first met David after I had spent a year playing Rhythm & Blues with The Apaches in Goteborg in 1965. I turned up at a very professional audition at the Marquee Club in Wardour Street, London, one Saturday morning, and got the gig. I reckon David chose me because I was wearing Swedish clothes, a suede jean-jacket, suede jeans and blue clogs - nobody in England had seen that stuff before and I think David was impressed. I was also probably the best of the guitarists at the audition, by the way!” The Marquee gig earned them the regular Sunday afternoon slot at the venue for what was billed The Bowie Showboat. As well as appearing with David and the band on Ready, Steady, Go! in March, Hutch played on Do Anything You Say with the rest of The Buzz, the first solo David Bowie single proper. He re-joined David with Feathers in late 1968 and performed a handful of gigs as David Bowie and Hutch in February/March ’69. He later returned on 12-string guitar for the 1973 Bowie world tour.
