About Dana Gillespie;
Dana Gillespie’s 2021 memoir, Weren’t Born A Man (Hawksmoor Publishing), lifted the lid on one of entertainment’s wildest, most adventurous and creative lives. Dana was born in 1949. Mid-childhood, she moved from the country to central London just as a full-scale blues revival was under way. By 16, she was recording singles for Pye. In 1968, she was signed by Decca, leading to two LPs, the second of which, Box Of Surprises, was written entirely by her. At the turn of the decade, Dana was in the original London cast of two prominent musicals – Catch My Soul and Jesus Christ Superstar. Simultaneously, she was part of a team of session singers (Elton John, David Byron, Madeline Bell) who recorded soundalike versions of pop hits for Avenue Records. She and childhood friend, David Bowie, were both managed by Tony Defries and his MainMan company.
In 1973, Dana’s third album, Weren’t Born A man, recorded at Trident Studios and produced by Bowie, Mick Ronson, Robin Cable and Dana, came out on RCA. The follow-up, Ain’t Gonna Play No Second Fiddle, appeared in 1974 and Dana undertook a US tour in support of it. While Dana was working on demos for her third RCA album, MainMan imploded. Unable to record while still in contract, Dana returned to the UK and sought gigs and acting jobs, appearing in The People That Time Forgot (1977), The Hound Of The Baskervilles (1978), Nic Roeg’s Bad Timing (1980) and Mai Zetterling’s Scrubbers (1982). Among the people with whom she acted were Doug McClure, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Denholm Elliott Joan Greenwood, Terry-Thomas, Kenneth Williams, Roy Kinnear, Penelope Keith, Prunella Scales, Art Garfunkel, Harvey Keitel and Kathy Burke.
In 1982, Dana resumed her recording career with Blue Job (Ace Records), a collection of early 20th century bawdy blues numbers. She kept one foot in the pop camp with the 1984 album, Solid Romance (Bellaphon), which spawned international hit, ‘Move Your Body Close To Me’, before committing to the blues full-time. She founded and ran the Mustique Blues Festival with Basil Charles OBE, for two decades. In 1997, she joined the UK leg of Bob Dylan’s tour as ‘special guest’. There are now two strands to Dana’s recording career which run in parallel; her singer/songwriter blues albums for Ace Records and (in Europe) Wolf Records, and her albums of bhajans (devotional songs). Dana tours worldwide, including India, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Britain and beyond, frequently performing with the London Blues Band. She regularly appears in the UK capital at the 606 Club, Chelsea, and The Temple of Art and Music, Elephant & Castle. Her Decca recordings have been anthologised as London Social Degree (RPM, 2019) and her RCA recordings as What Memories We Make (Cherry Red, 2019). Dana’s most recent albums are Under My Bed (Ace, 2019) and Deep Pockets (Ace, 2021).

Remember “Move Your Body Close To Me”? Dana’s 1983 Austrian #1 — performed live, in London. If that record was the soundtrack to your summer in Austria (or anywhere it climbed the charts), consider this your reason to book a trip to London. She’s the woman Bowie wrote “Andy Warhol” for, who sang on Ziggy Stardust and opened for Dylan at Wembley. 74+ albums. One unforgettable voice.Andy Warhol written by David Bowie, sang by Dana Gillespie backed by her London Blues Band Live TamTAM TV - Temple Of Art & Music2026-06-26 | Some songs carry a whole era inside them. This one begins in a dark room off Wardour Street called the Marquee Club — the beating heart of British music's golden age. A teenage Dana Gillespie had come for the headliners, the blues acts she loved like the Yardbirds. She had no reason to notice the support act that night: a charming, restless young man named Davy Jones, not yet the world's David Bowie. But they met. And that chance meeting — the unknown opener and the girl who'd come to see someone else — became a friendship that lasted a decade and shaped both their lives. Out of it came a gift: in 1971, Bowie wrote "Andy Warhol" for Dana, produced her recording of it himself alongside guitarist Mick Ronson, and the two of them carried it onto the airwaves before Bowie ever cut his own version for Hunky Dory. Dana's recording would finally appear on her 1973 album Weren't Born a Man. More than fifty years later, that song returns to a London stage — at the Temple of Art and Music, a grassroots venue built to honour exactly this: real human stories becoming the raw material of music that outlives the moment. Dana Gillespie, our Mentor in Residence and the living thread between 1960s Soho and TAM's young artists, brings "Andy Warhol" home as one of the defining moments of Everywhere At Once. 🎭 Everywhere At Once Festival — powered by the National Lottery

You really have to be there to take it all in — and smell it, of course — but if you missed it this year, then take a stroll with Dana Gillespie down the King’s Road in Chelsea, probably the nearest thing you can get to Chelsea in Bloom without being there during the actual week itself.
Join Dana in her local neighbourhood. This is her hood, her manor. She went to school in Chelsea and still lives just five minutes away.
This year’s theme was Out of This World, transforming Chelsea into an intergalactic floral wonderland inspired by space travel, astrology and spiritual symbolism. One of the highlights was the enormous floral globe on the King’s Road, created in honour of Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday — a beautiful reminder of the planet he has spent his life protecting and celebrating.
And while you wander through one of London’s most beautiful corners, listen to Dana’s song Mystery of Love, because the chorus captures exactly that feeling of being “out of this world.”
Flowers really are out of this world sometimes… so cool, so fabulous. How on earth do they grow to be like that? Some of them honestly feel beyond this world 🌸✨The Great Blues & Jazz Festival LondonTAM TV - Temple Of Art & Music2026-03-21 | The Great Blues & Jazz Festival LondonWom Fusion Jazz - The Bunker Sessions London 1966 reborn.TAM TV - Temple Of Art & Music2026-02-23 | 60 years ago — in the last Fire Horse year — jazz was stretching form, rock was absorbing improvisation, and London’s basements were laboratories for new sound.
The Bunker Sessions take their name from Dana Gillespie’s South Kensington basement flat — where Bowie, Bolan, Dana and friends would hang out after the Marquee and the Cromwellian. A room where ideas were tried before they were finished.
On Tuesday 24th February, we open the first night of The Bunker Sessions.
For the past two years, Asha ‘Keys’ Elfenbein and the Temple of Art and Music have been quietly incubating Word Of Mouth.
Avant-garde. Experimental jazz. Jazz fused with rock & soul.
Now, The Bunker Sessions are where it goes live.
Dana Gillespie formally opens The Bunker on Thursday 26th February.
The Bunker at TAM Elephant & Castle
#jazz #basementjazz #livemusic #ilmc #fusionjazzThe Bunker Sessions - London 1966 Reborn #danagillespie #livemusicTAM TV - Temple Of Art & Music2026-02-23 | The late 60s that followed reshaped modern music — not because everything was polished, but because artists were experimenting in real rooms, crossing genres, and testing ideas before they were famous.
In 1968, David Bowie walked into a basement apartment known as “The Bunker” and played Dana Gillespie a new song he’d just written — Space Oddity. It hadn’t been released. It was simply alive in the room.
That’s the spirit behind The Bunker Sessions at the Temple of Art and Music.
Across four nights we’re leaning into that same energy — live, collaborative, a little unpredictable:
Asha Keys & Word of Mouth Dino Baptiste with Greg Holt Dana Gillespie with Dino & Greg Starlight Collective performing Space Oddity Highwave Albion
Different sounds. Shared momentum.
As London welcomes people from around the world who shape the live music industry — alongside visitors celebrating Lunar New Year — it feels like the right week to bring that Fire Horse energy back into a room.
If you’re in the city, join us.
Let’s see what happens when music is allowed to breathe again.
#visitlondon #livemusic #LondonLiveMusic #yearofthehorse #mercatometropolitanoThe High Wave Live at The Bunker - Surf RockTAM TV - Temple Of Art & Music2026-02-20 | The High Wave headline LONDON 1966 REBORN in The Bunker at TAM, with special guests Albion. Raw, underground energy. Fri 27 Feb. THE HIGH WAVE & Albion LONDON 1966 REBORN The Bunker Session
Friday 27th February | From 7pm Temple of Art and Music, Elephant & Castle
For one week, Temple of Art and Music becomes The Bunker.
Not a club. Not a concert hall. A room.
Named after Dana Gillespie’s legendary Thurloe Square flat — where musicians gathered after the Marquee and The Cromwellian — The Bunker is about intimacy and risk. Songs tested close to the crowd. No distance. No gloss.
On Friday 27th February, that spirit belongs to The High Wave.
8:00–9:00pm Albion — Before Testament Before launching their debut album Testament at TAM the following week, Albion bring the songs into The Bunker first.
Formed in London in 2015, the six-piece were forged in pubs, dive bars and back rooms — playing songs until they mean something. No trends. No tech. Just poetic, powerful British guitar music built to last.
Testament — recorded at The Libertines’ Albion Rooms in Margate — is a record about modern Britain: fading high streets, tatty teeth, tattered hearts and restless ambition.
But this isn’t the full launch.
It’s the spark before the fire.
Songs stripped back. Immediate. Dangerous in the best way. Some records are released. Some are lived first.
9:30pm The High Wave — Headline Set Then the temperature rises.
London surf rockers The High Wave headline the night — bringing Tarantino flair, blazing guitars and punchy sax to The Bunker.
Channeling the raw, sun-drenched spirit of Dick Dale and The Ventures — sharpened with modern precision and cinematic punch — they turn the basement electric.
Spiralling guitar lines cut through the room. Punchy sax melodies echo off brickwork. A driving rhythm section keeps everything on the edge of combustion.
In The Bunker, that sound gets closer. Louder. More immediate.
This isn’t background music. It’s sweat-on-the-walls, inches-from-the-stage energy.
Nostalgia meets contemporary edge in a space built for spontaneity and pure live impact.
If you want to experience London’s underground music scene in 2026 — but feel like you’ve stepped into a lost night in 1966 — this is your invitation.
Albion light the fuse. The High Wave bring the charge.

Together with Basil Charles OBE, she looks back on the night a simple idea talked about between them became the Mustique Blues Festival, and how its character and musical soul have endured for three decades.
The episode closes with Down At The Bar, a song Dana wrote and recorded ‘ at the festival. The accompanying rockumentary style music video is drawn from Dana’s personal archive, alongside photographs and film by the Austrian artist Jörg Huber and has been woven together by the Temple of Art and Music . capturing moments, friendships, and music across the years.
This release also supports the work of the Basil Charles Educational Foundation, which continues Basil’s commitment to helping young people in St. Vincent access secondary education. Each time the song is played and shared, it helps shine a light on the Foundation’s work and its ongoing mission.
For those who wish to support or learn more about the Foundation visit the Basil Charles Educational Foundation link in the comments.
Dana often says the Mustique Blues Festival is unlike any other — not just because she and Basil created it, or because its situation on one of the most beautiful and idyllic islands in the world but because for 15 days every year Mustique and Music create a magic like any other festival

#OmShakti #Peace #CollectivePower #DanaGillespie #LondonBluesBand #SXSW #TAMTV #MusicForPeaceFoolish Seasons 2026 - Dana Gillespie Ft. Aisha Dana GillespieTAM TV - Temple Of Art & Music2026-01-01 | Dana Gillespie wrote this song in 1966, at just sixteen years old, and it was released about eighteen months later on her debut album, Foolish Seasons. Now, sixty years on, at the start of a new year, she returns to it with fresh eyes — looking back at who she was then and bringing that feeling into the present.
By revisiting the song with images from her past — including photos of herself and her beloved Norwich terrier, Sneezy — she’s creating a bridge between then and now. It’s a way of letting old memories meet a new beginning.
So, as we step into this new chapter, let us introduce you to Dana’s younger, older alter ego: Aisha Dana Gillespie — someone to look out for in 2026.
“Foolish Seasons (2026 Version)” is a slow-tempo folk ballad with a reflective, melancholic tone. Written by Dana Gillespie in 1966, the song blends acoustic folk instrumentation with emotional, introspective songwriting. Gentle arpeggiated acoustic guitar forms the foundation, accompanied by delicate plucked strings reminiscent of a mandolin or bouzouki, subtle shakers, and a restrained drum pulse.
The vocal is clear, expressive, and intimate, carrying a sense of longing and quiet sadness, with a natural vibrato that enhances the emotional depth of the song. The arrangement is spacious and uncluttered, allowing the interplay between voice and instruments to unfold naturally. Clean production and soft reverb create a warm, close, and contemplative listening experience.
Rooted in 1960s folk but timeless in feeling, “Foolish Seasons” will appeal to listeners who enjoy intimate acoustic music, reflective singer-songwriters, vintage folk, melancholic ballads, and emotionally driven storytelling.Auld Lang Syne - VietnameseTAM TV - Temple Of Art & Music2025-12-31 | ✨🇻🇳 Happy New Year Vietnam – Chúc Mừng Năm Mới Việt Nam! 🇻🇳✨

With the kind permission of the Sri Sathya Sai Media Centre, we were blessed to capture footage on the banks of the Chitravati River, India, during the 100th Birth Centenary of Sri Sathya Sai Baba. This is also where Dana Gillespie once scattered her beloved mother’s ashes.
To honour this sacred moment, we have created our own devotional presentation by adding Dana’s song Om Shakti — a piece she co-wrote with Steve Lima — as the musical offering accompanying the visuals. The track was recorded “live” on her 73rd birthday at the Temple of Art and Music in London, where a photograph of Sai Baba sits above the sound control desk — a constant presence seen by all who perform there.
The recording features some of the UK’s most gifted musicians, including: • Dino Baptiste – Piano, Backing Vocals • Matt Gest – Organ • Pandit Dinesh – Percussion • Evan Jenkins – Drums • Dom Stockbridge – Guitar, Backing Vocals • Marcus Praestgaard-Stevens – Guitar, Backing Vocals • Harry Whitty – Bass, Backing Vocals • Tom Waters – Saxophone, Backing Vocals • Aisha Sparks – Second Lead Vocals
Music was mixed and mastered by Dominique Brethes.
With reverence and heartfelt gratitude. Om Sai Ram.

Here is an example of one of these songs called ‘I Stand Alone’, which I wrote about myself and my Norwich terrier dog called Sneezi. Then AI was given old photographs of me, aging from when I was a baby of two years old, right up until now, and these pictures were bought to life by making my face move and sing, and if you listen to the end, you’ll hear me saying (somewhat prophetically) that whatever film we show now, it will be out of date by the time the clip is over! I just thought you might enjoy seeing what I was doing a year ago!
I want to thank Gered Mankowitz for taking photographs of me for over 60 years, 3 of which are used in this video. I also forgot to say that I sang with my AI voice so I can say I duetted with myself!!!! Hahaha…. Enjoy!!!What Is Dying (The Ship) | Tribute to Pope Francis | Dana GillespieTAM TV - Temple Of Art & Music2025-04-26 | Following the death of Pope Francis, singer and songwriter Dana Gillespie sought to honour his life and spirit in the form she knows best: through music.
She recorded "What Is Dying (The Ship)", a musical adaptation of the timeless poem that reflects on death not as an ending, but as a passage beyond sight. In keeping with seafaring tradition, where all ships are referred to as "she", the ship in the poem symbolises the soul’s enduring journey across the unseen horizon.
Through this recording, Dana offers a heartfelt farewell to Pope Francis, honouring his enduring spirit, compassion, and the belief that, though he has sailed beyond our view, he is not lost, only welcomed with joy on another shore.

#DanaGillespie #AroundMyWorldIn60Songs #HaraHaraMahadeva #Puttaparthi #HealingMusic #SpiritualJourneyAndy Warhol - Written By David Bowie, Sung By Dana Gillespie (Around My World In Sixty Songs: Song 8TAM TV - Temple Of Art & Music2024-08-07 | Did you know that David Bowie's (@davidbowie ) iconic song "Andy Warhol" was originally written for someone else? 🎤 In 1971, Bowie composed this quirky, acoustic tribute to the legendary pop artist for his friend, British singer Dana Gillespie. Gillespie's version of "Andy Warhol" was recorded in the same year and was intended for her album Weren’t Born a Man, which was released in 1973. While Gillespie's version is a gem, Bowie decided to include his own take on the track in his groundbreaking album Hunky Dory. The song captures Bowie's admiration for Warhol's influence on art and pop culture, blending folk-rock vibes with a touch of surrealism.
Dana Gillespie shares, "I don't really normally sing Bowie songs. They're quite hard to sing, but he did write this one song for me. It's Andy Warhol. He publicly announced it on the John Peel show that he'd written it for me." She adds, "If you listen carefully, you can hear Bowie singing as my backing singer. And then I reciprocated by doing backing vocals for him on the Ziggy Stardust Album."
In this episode of Around My World in Sixty Songs, Dana Gillespie takes us to the David Bowie World Fan Convention (@BowieConvention ) Liverpool, where fans gather to celebrate the life and music of Bowie. 🌍🎶 For Song VIII, Dana Gillespie teams up with fellow Bowie alumnus Kevin Armstrong, who recorded the iconic song "Dancing In The Street" with David Bowie and Mick Jagger, and played in Bowie's legendary Live Aid performance in 1985. Join us on this journey as we explore the fascinating connections between Bowie, Warhol, and Gillespie, and how this song became a unique part of music history!
And a special shoutout to Andy Warhol would have been 96 on August 6th. 🎂🎉 Your influence on art and culture continues to inspire us all!

Dana will compete with the song "The Last Polar Bear".
The Journey of "The Last Polar Bear" The genesis of "The Last Polar Bear" can be traced back to the autumn of 2023 when Casperaki launched a groundbreaking initiative inviting the public to collaborate with its AI chatbots to craft original draft songs for consideration by "Una Voce per San Marino". Out of numerous entries, ten were handpicked and brought to a dedicated songwriting camp in London for further development. This camp, hosted at The Qube studios from January 19-21, brought together a group of promising young talents from Germany and the UK, who were tasked with picking the most promising candidates and evolving them into potential hits.
Dana, who had been collaborating with Sieng Van Tran, a tech entrepreneur, on pioneering uses of technology in music, was invited to explore Casperaki at an AI presentation of ten songs at the Temple of Art and Music, a London music venue. There, she discovered "The Last Polar Bear." Moved by its message, Dana was instantly drawn to the song. Shortly afterward, while on tour in Vienna, she refined and recorded her vocals for the song on an iPhone. Her haunting vocals transformed the song into a powerful environmental anthem.
This impromptu version, swiftly assembled over a few days, was uploaded to YouTube, where it garnered overwhelmingly positive feedback from global fans. This wave of support ultimately convinced the jury of "Una Voce per San Marino" to select "The Last Polar Bear" for the final stage of the competition.
Mathias Strasser, founder and CEO of Casperaki, said, “Ultimately, there can be only one winner, and I want to congratulate Dana for having captivated the hearts and minds of San Marino’s jury. At the same time, I want to give a shout-out to Meg Birch, Nicole Silva, and Marie Wegener, who deserve huge respect for having joined Casperaki on this experiment of fusing AI with human creativity. My team and I are absolutely certain that the world will hear a lot more from these incredibly gifted artists very soon.”

British singer-songwriter Dana Gillespie, working under the alias DGRAIMES, appears to have taken Grimes up on her offer.
Using "grimesAI" voice, presumably an AI-generated version of Grimes' vocals, Gillespie has written, produced, and sung a new song. This groundbreaking collaboration could signal a new trend in music, blurring the lines between human and artificial intelligence.
Given the novelty of this type of collaboration, there are likely to be many questions about how royalties, credit, and the creative process itself are managed. Still, the potential for unique and innovative music is exciting.
It will be interesting to see how this song is received by fans of both artists, as well as the wider music community. The use of AI in music production is still relatively new and somewhat controversial, so the reactions to this collaboration could be very telling about the future of AI-generated music.
Regardless of the outcome, it's clear that Grimes' willingness to engage with AI technology is already influencing the industry. Her boldness is helping to push the boundaries of music and creativity, opening up new possibilities for artists and listeners alike.
As AI continues to develop and become more integrated into our lives, we can expect to see more collaborations like this one. The future of music may be uncertain, but it's certainly shaping up to be exciting and full of potential.
