Step into the magical world of Kate Bush with The Kate Bush Song Book – 2026, a beautifully intimate live show from the acclaimed tribute ensemble Cloudbusting.

Since 2012, Cloudbusting have been touring theatres and music venues across the UK and Europe, faithfully exploring the depth, artistry and imagination found within Kate Bush’s extraordinary catalogue. Many of her complex and powerful arrangements have pushed the band’s musicianship to the limit, but in quieter moments the true essence of her songwriting shines through with just voice and piano.

It is these beautifully crafted songs that form the heart of The Song Book. Featuring Mandy Watson’s hauntingly beautiful vocals, accompanied by Matt Bowers on piano and Dave Roberts on bass, the performance brings new clarity and emotion to some of Kate Bush’s most remarkable music.

The repertoire includes both beloved classics and hidden gems, with stunning arrangements of favourites such as Wuthering Heights, Babooshka, Hounds of Love and Cloudbusting. Meanwhile, piano-led masterpieces like This Woman's Work, Moments of Pleasure and The Man with the Child in His Eyes reveal the intricate beauty and lyrical brilliance of Kate’s songwriting.

Cloudbusting’s remarkable performances have even drawn praise from some of Kate’s original collaborators. Her former drummer Preston Heyman said:
“Mandy’s vocals were so good, I could have been listening to Kate herself!”

Other collaborators including Stewart Avon Arnold and bassist Del Palmer have also joined the band on stage and continue to support the Song Book shows.

With music spanning more than 40 years of Kate Bush’s extraordinary career, alongside personal reflections and insights from Mandy, Matt and Dave, this promises to be a truly magical evening celebrating the artistry of one of Britain’s most unique musical voices.

“Utterly, surreally brilliant.”
— Mick Wall, Classic Rock Magazine
