Kate Bush’s songs root deep into the heart and soul of her fans. She is a genius, a strange phenomenon, an enigma and most importantly an artiste in her own right. Knowing what Kate and her music means to her fans, she does not disappoint from the first moment she steps onto the stage to thunderous applause and cheers taking the audience on a most incredible journey that ends in a most climatic explosion of rapture and delight.

When Kate Bush announced her first live shows for 35 years, there were bound to be a lot of people that were going to be left disappointed in being unable to see one of Britain’s perhaps most reclusive, certainly iconic, exceptionally gifted female artists of the last 50 years.

It might not have the distinctive feel of her earlier albums such as The Kick Inside or Never For Ever or even the later album released in 1985, the sensational Hounds of Love but The Dreamingdeserves to be recognised as album of sheer incredible artistry by the elusive Kate Bush.

Kate Bush has long been considered an enigma, part immense talent that has inspired so many other artists and fans alike, part recluse, never really giving too much away to the point that some critics and reviewers become exasperated and ignore the music behind the woman.
It is to Kate’s credit that she has survived for so long in a business that can cruelly tear people apart just for not releasing a new album every couple of years. Kate herself hasn’t recorded a new album since 2005 with the release of the sensual Aerial and although there are rumours of a brand new set of songs that will be unleashed onto the British public at some point, Kate has decided to revisit older works and give them a new edge.

If there is an enigmatic enigma in music world then that title truly belongs to Kate Bush. It’s been years since the voice of Wuthering Heights, Cloudbusting and Running up that Hill released an album, now in the space of a mere few months, she produces and delivers a second one. This honest, charming and beautiful album, 50 Words for Snow is a bold and inspiring new direction for the woman whose voice broke a million hearts and has soared higher than any before or since.

There are times when you don’t need a full band behind you giving you the extra impetuous to thrill a capacity crowd. A voice perhaps and keyboard will do and when you are Greg and Pat Kane from Scottish Jazz/Funk stalwarts Hue and Cry.
