Cloudbusting - Performing The Music Of Kate Bush

Following the success of their show celebrating the 30th anniversary of Kate Bush's Hounds of Love album, Cloudbusting return to the Half Moon with more from Kate's record breaking musical history.

Cloudbusting provide a two hour performance featuring Kate Bush favourites and other songs from Kate's wonderful back catalogue. The show is seamlessly complemented by video projections created for the band by their own videographer Nick Gregory and contributed by artists inspired by Kate from around the world. Paying attention to every musical detail and faithfully recreating the true essence of Kate Bush, Cloudbusting will take you on an amazing musical journey with a performance that is as sonically perfect as it is visually awesome.

The music of Kate Bush is as popular and relevant today as it ever was. Last year she went down in history when her 22 date show in Hammersmith sold out in minutes and she then went on to achieve eight simultaneous entries in the UK Albums Chart.

Cloudbusting are united by a deep love of Kate Bush's music and with their complex and authentic arrangements they pay great homage to her work. Mandy Watson is Kate and she immediately allays all fears. With her very first note the niggles of the most skeptical Kate Bush fan are put to rest. Brilliantly and easefully she encompasses Kate's range and elicits the emotional intensity of the songs without having to resort to caricature. Kate Bush's longtime musical collaborator and bassist Del Palmer commented that Cloudbusting's versions of the songs were "the closest by far" that he'd ever heard.

As Preston Heyman, drummer on Kate's original 1979 'Tour of Life' and many studio albums, commented after sharing the stage with Cloudbusting for their Hounds of Love anniversary show; "Mandy's vocals were so good, I could have been listening to Kate herself!"

Following Cloudbusting's 50 date UK tour Kate Bush fans flooded their website and Facebook page with passionate praise and compliments. They are now getting ready to head to Europe for a month next year to spread the Kate love further.
