Ziggy to 2013

Featuring John Mainwaring whose vocal & visual tribute to Bowie is totally awesome.

It all started in 1993 when Jean Genie was formed following the discovery of David Bowie look-and-sound-alike artiste John Mainwaring. The band soon became famous for their flamboyant stage show and today the band have many impressive claims to fame. Jean Genie are one of the first tribute bands to play alongside the original artistes and they performed on stage with the original Spiders From Mars at the Mick Ronson Memorial Concert after show party, playing to VIP stars such as Joe Elliott (Def Leppard), Roger Daltry (The Who) and Roger Taylor (Queen), to name but a few.

Jean Genie have headlined the David Bowie Fan Club Convention more than once. They’ve played their energetic and sexy 70’s and 80’s show, complete with dazzling costumes and stunning effects, to capacity crowds at festivals such as The Hastings Music Festival and have brought pleasure to many fans during their numerous Irish tours, including invited performances at the prestigious Olympia Theatre. Jean Genie are well known for being perfectionists; news of their popularity has even reached David Bowie himself.
