1 – Is Bobbie Dazzle ready to lead the way for a 21st Century Glam Rock revolution?
Absolutely. Glam Rock’s always been about rebellion through style, sound and self-expression and I think people are craving that again. It’s not about nostalgia; it’s about taking the spirit of that era and making it feel alive and dangerous in today’s world. I’m bringing the colour & freedom back to rock and roll.
2 – How did the Bobbie Dazzle band come together?
Bobbie Dazzle is me, a solo project, and the musicians I play with are a rotating group of incredible session players who share my love of theatrical rock. We came together through mutual friends and the live scene. Everyone involved gets & respects my vision.
3 – Which bands have influenced Bobbie Dazzle the most?
I’m heavily inspired by artists like David Bowie, T. Rex, and The Sweet, but also by the raw energy of early punk and the sassiness of more modern artist who have put their own spin on Glam, like the Struts, Måneskin & The Darkness.
4 – For new listeners to Bobbie Dazzle, what song should they start with?
“Merry-Go-Round” is a great place to start. It’s loud, cheeky and full of attitude, but there’s a lot of heart behind it too. It sums up everything I love about what I do: fun, flamboyant and a little bit unhinged.
5 – Some of the lyrics on Fandabidozi were your dad’s old lyrics — how does it feel to put those on record and perform them?
It’s really special. My dad wrote those lyrics years ago, and it feels like a full-circle moment bringing them to life in my world. Performing them feels like a conversation between generations, me carrying the torch forward but doing it in my own way. Having him be a part of this but him never being able to know is bittersweet.
6 – Most rock fans can probably count on one hand the number of flautists in the genre — who were your influences?
When anyone thinks of rock flute obviously Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson, comes to mind but my biggest influence was actually Thijs Van Leer from Focus who I’m luckily enough to play with later this year. The flute brings this strange, magical energy into a rock setting, which I think fits the world of Bobbie Dazzle perfectly.
Other notable flute players who inspire me are Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Fran Tobolsky from German Kraut band Wucan, Ann Wilson from Heart & Chris Wood of Traffic.
7 – You’ve played with some big names — what’s it been like sharing stages with the likes of Lita Ford and Alice Cooper?
It’s surreal, honestly. Those shows were like masterclasses in showmanship. Watching artists like Alice Cooper up close reminds you that rock and roll is theatre, every second on stage matters. Off the stage they’re just like me or you, people with their own lives and stories… maybe the stories are a bit more interesting than most people’s though!
8 – Which artists would you most like to have on a gig lineup?
More modern artists I’d love to play alongside artists who bring performance and personality to the stage, people like Palaye Royale, Måneskin, or even St. Vincent. Anyone who blurs the lines between fashion, art and rock ’n’ roll really. I’m luckily enough to have already played or I’m going to play with a lot of my influences already!
9 – What does 2026 have in store for Bobbie Dazzle?
More shows, more chaos, and more feather boas. I’m writing new music that pushes the sound further, still glam at heart, but with a modern edge. The goal is to take the live show to bigger stages and really build a world around Bobbie Dazzle.
