“I could have been listening to Kate herself.”
The words of British drummer, Preston Heyman describing the Kate Bush celebration act, Cloudbusting.
And he should know, he played drums for the real Kate, famous for unforgettable hits like Wuthering Heights, Hounds of Love, Babooshka and Running Up That Hill, which unexpectedly won a whole new generation of fans when it was used to great effect in series 4 of the hit TV show, Stranger Things.

Cloudbusting formed in 2012 – long before any suggestion that Bush herself would ever perform again – to present her songs as faithfully to the original recordings as possible.
They stage an impressively authentic live experience featuring all the hits and, interestingly, some of the talented musician’s lesser-known songs, some of which have never been heard live before.
Naturally, they do all the chart hits, ideal for those who missed her live 1979 and 2014 shows.

The band isn’t a ‘tribute’ in conventional terms, as no one’s pretending to be Kate nor impersonating her.
Instead the focus is all about the authenticity of the music.
Testament to this is that many of Kate’s original collaborators from stage and studio have joined the band for performances.
