  • Cloudbusting: The Music of Kate Bush

    • Cloudbusting are thrilled to bring ‘The Music of Kate Bush’ to venues across the UK and Europe!

    Featuring material from across Kate’s hugely successful catalogue of albums, the show includes classic hits such as Wuthering Heights, Babooshka and Hounds of Love – as well as Running Up That Hill – the world-wide No.1 hit single that took the charts by storm 37 years after its first release! All delivered with breath-taking vocals from Mandy Watson and superb musicianship from the live band.

    Cloudbusting are the longest running and most universally celebrated tribute to the music of Kate Bush. With TV appearances and live performances across both the UK and Europe, the band has earned an enviable reputation for being unquestionably the most accurate and authentic live experience for Kate fans. Significantly, they are the only band in the world to have performed Kate’s music with her original bass player and long standing sound engineer Del Palmer, as well as drummer and percussionist Preston Heyman who appeared on the Tour Of Life, Never For Ever & The Dreaming. The band has also performed with Stewart Avon-Arnold – Kate’s co-choreographer and dance partner who appeared with her in so many of those iconic videos and performances throughout her career. That’s quite an endorsement for Cloudbusting but it also stands as a reflection of the talent, tenacity and passion that the 5-piece band has for Kate’s captivating music.

    The show is enhanced with stunning back-projection visuals which reflect the character and mood of the songs, making a Cloudbusting concert an event that no Kate Bush fan will want to miss!
