It will be the first time Bush's music has been played in Scotland by her original band members since 1979 and they promise 'far more than a Kate Bush tribute act'.

Guitarist Brian Bath with Del Palmer performed on the Tour Of Life, as well as on Bush's early albums and a raft of TV and radio appearances.

Today, Bath, along with other originals, Vic King on drums, Steve Bevan on bass and Emily Francis on keyboards, return with Sallie-Anne Hurst on vocals, performing the classic songs of Kate Bush alongside some previously unheard gems from back in the day.
