A tribute to one of the biggest music stars of all time is being hosted by Conkers this Saturday.

Jean Genie will be performing live at the Moira venue.

Jean Genie was created by John Mainwaring and John Ford in 1993. An original recording artist in his own right, John has been signed by numerous record companies throughout his career – twice with Warner Bros.

John has worked with many household names such as Jarvis Cocker well as performing as David Bowie in Jean Genie, John is currently signed to Bucks Music Publishers.

His latest achievements have been writing three songs for Tony Christie's million selling album 'The Definitive Collection', plus numerous theme tunes for BBC radio.

In the late 1990s John was approached by David Bowie's most famous band of the 1970s, 'The Spiders from Mars' and was asked by them if he'd front the band and tour with them.

Obviously John's answer was 'Yes' and John remains to this day to be one of only a few tribute artists to tour and perform with an original artist's band.
