Kate Bush has just announced she will play 15 nights in London in August and September!! Soooo excited!!! Will be trying for tickets next week, work can wait.

In reply to ring ouzel:

yeah just in effing London.

In reply to The Pylon King:

what Pylon King said : (

In reply to The Pylon King:

I know, and I'm on the Black Isle so it'll be a loooong journey down if I get tickets - worth it mind!

In reply to ring ouzel:

Tickets £50-£135

God i'd love to go though.

In reply to The Pylon King:

Hmmm, ticket price + travel + b&b = lots of money. I could sell my body on the streets of Inverness but slightly overweight 51 year olds are ten a penny up here! Suspect I may be buying a Lotto ticket on Friday!

In reply to The Pylon King:

Where did yo find that? I've been hunting soince 8.30 and couldn't come up with anything other than 'on sale 28th March'

In reply to ring ouzel:


Now currently trying to work out who else lives on the Black Isle, climbs and interested in bird watching?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;o|

In reply to ring ouzel:

Kate Bush. Like why????

In reply to PaulTanton:

Why not????

(and if you can come up with lots of reasons then bully for you, doesn't mean anyone else has to agree).

In reply to PaulTanton:


because she is a genius

I'll be trying for tickets. Hounds Of Love is a permanent fixture on my playlist. It's expensive but we might not get the chance again.

In reply to Lone Rider:
Not so much interested as professionally obsessed!! I'm on the south side of the Black Isle.

In reply to PaulTanton:

Heretic!! One of my younger students asked me that same question some years ago. I took him out to the mat (this was at kung fu) and we had a 3-D discussion on the merits of Kate Bush versus some nobody he liked. I like to think Kate has never had a spinning back-kick thrown in her honour before.

In reply to ring ouzel:

probably not but she was responsible for the sales of Kleenexe going through the roof in certain Northumbrian coastal ports in the late 70's

In reply to graeme jackson:

Scottish ex-coal mining villages were not immune to this phenomena either!

In reply to PaulTanton:
Like, when I first saw her perform , I was gosmacked, there were some artists, good and bad that make an immediate impression , KB was one.

( and she was hot and I was young)

Today I watched a 60 year old male shipping manager based in Glasgow trying to get tickets. She must be doing something right, but I have no idea if she is popular with the young.

In reply to ring ouzel:

a warning!

In reply to ring ouzel: I saw her at the Liverpool Empire in 1979, she was an amazing performer.

In reply to ring ouzel:


Not quite as sylphlike as remember….

In reply to Postmanpat:

If she's doing 15 nights I bet she's shaped up a bit for them.

In reply to Postmanpat:

Its a close one beteen her and Robert smith for the Liz Taylor likeness (shagged out, retired, friend of Michael Jackson period) I'm a massive fan of KB, but I just don't care to see her live at the Hammersmith Apollo.

D

In reply to Postmanpat:



I've just deleted 'Running up that Hill' from the iPod.

Replaced it with

'Pounds of Love'

Is anyone going for the pre-sale? I don't have a code but I'm interested to see how quickly the tickets sell out.

In reply to Pete Dangerous:

I just got my tickets!!!

........it pays to be a perv!!

In reply to The Pylon King:

Nice. I'll have a bash Friday but I'm not feeling optimistic

In reply to ring ouzel:

I saw her live last time round......and I had the long shaggy haircut and make up to match. Absolutely loved her!

I remember the revolutionary thing about the performance was that she had a wireless mike attached to her head so that she could sing and dance. Sounds pretty ordinary now but 35 years ago it was completely revolutionary...

In reply to Babika:

She made that herself out of a bent coathanger initially. must have been a fan of How!

In reply to graeme jackson:

I heard Tom Robinson tell a story about how the radio mike was left live after she went off stage and some embarrasing comments about the crowd went over the PA after she was off stage. As we trooped out the Queen's Hall Tom was heard over the PA saying "Edinburgh....fcking wankers.....".

Not sure if the story was true or Tom was just setting up a gag. V.funny though.

In reply to ring ouzel:

I've always thought that one in Kate Bush is worth two in the hand.

In reply to stroppygob:

In reply to ring ouzel:
Thanks for the reminder through this thread last night. I managed to get my husband 2 tickets.
He's made up :0)

In reply to Pete Dangerous:


She does seem to have that effect on men of a certain age.......

In reply to dek:




Running up that Bill

In reply to Pete Dangerous:


Just bought a remastered 'Hounds of Love' for £1.99 on Amazon as it reminds me of my first girlfriend who was often mistaken for Kate in the mid 1970's, long time ago and changed days!

In reply to Tony the Blade:


Yes. And only London. Bit unfair if you don't live in that end of the UK. Doesn't like playing live, doing 15 gigs, now more added.
Bank balance running low vs artistic integrity

In reply to aln:

I agree, and I cant believe how suddenly everyone is a fan.

In reply to Tony the Blade:


Absolutely.
Same thing happened with a few others recently. Apparently everone now loves Bobby Womack and Nile Rogers.
