FRESH from the Big Brother house, Dane Bowers comes for an exclusive DJ set on March 16 at Trinity Rooms. The Big Brother star started his career with Another Level and had seven Top 10 singles in two years in the UK, including 1998’s UK Number one “Freak Me”; and a platinum selling, self-titled debut album.
After the group split, Bowers wrote and fronted two UK Top 10 hits, for the UK garage act Truesteppers in 2000, “Buggin” and “Out Of Your Mind”. The latter featured the first solo outing of Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham.
In 2001, two solo singles released under the moniker of ‘Dane’, “Shut Up And Forget About It” and “Another Lover”, both stalled at number nine on the UK Singles Chart; and an album, Facing The Crowd remains unreleased. Bowers subsequently went on to focus on behind the scenes work, writing and producing, including a collaboration for Victoria Beckham’s debut solo album, in the autumn of that year. In 2004, Bowers wrote and starred in a satirical sitcom pilot called “Bow to the Bowers.”
Last month, Bowers entered Channel Four’s Celebrity Big Brother and won the hearts of the nation to finish second. On March 16, he comes to Trinity Rooms for their Paddy’s Eve Big Bash.
