It's a real shame you aren't going to see Kate live. If anyone should, you should. I know you don't want to talk about it but how do you think it will be presented? I find it hard to imagine the main focus of the show is going to be around Kate singing. I can imagine it's going to be balanced out with a big band/string section etc with lots of dance sequences. For Kate's vocals to be completely the main thrust of the show is surely too much to expect given the length of time she hasn't performed live. I would be interested to hear your thoughts mate.

Your`e a Kate fan then Potho`s ? ! That`s a very good question indeed Mr Musty . I have pondered on it myself over the last few weeks . Kate`s voice has really deteriorated over the years it has to be said . I find it strange how people seem to think that artists that they admire don`t like it when it`s brought up that with age and of course time that they do not have the same vocal range to sing , let alone sing live . As much as I love to see Rush live and may it long continue . But Geddy`s voice has gone . and as much as people rave about them live his voice is a low point of a gig and that as with any band or artist that is the most important instrument . I have the same problem with Macca these days I just can`t listen to him . Ian Anderson had a back up singer on his last tour . So with this in mind I have the same feeling that Kate is going to be struggling with her voice . Her last 2 Albums , Directors Cut and 50 Words For Snow . They are as what you would have expected from Kate now in her 50`s Directors Cut is a reworking of here old songs and she`s changed "the key" to them so she can sing them with her voice. 50 Words is again been glossed over with other artists and she more or less is almost narrating on some songs But it is a fine album having said that I have heard rumours and it doe`s seem she is doing The Ninth Wave (Side 2 of Hounds ) Which is lots of effects and videos thrown in so I can see that almost working I watched the Live show of Python recently and this is how I think the Kate shows will pan out . Lot`s of singing and dancing and music by additional artists for 20 minutes and then a bit of Kate on the piano . Repeat for 2 hours . I could be wrong But as I said I don`t want to talk about it.

I recall seeing Kate Bush on Top of the Pops singing Wuthering Heights and being mesmerised. I cannot call myself a massive fan but her work has always intrigued me right from the surreal imagery of Breathing to the heartache of Moments of Pleasure. Her voice is not the same for whatever reason and is definitely at least one octave lower but she still has the ability to put in performances like Nocturne. I suspect most of the material in the show will be from songs written in a lower key.
I hope the shows work and people enjoy them.

The BBC reported that Kate has asked for people attending her shows not to take I Pads and phones and just enjoy the show in real time.

Loved the BBC 4 doc broadcast tonight. Interesting contributions by many well respected people who you would never think would share the same love of Kate.

I think, perhaps, Wow is my favourite Kate song - I think it's called that!! I don't own any Kate but think I will immerse myself in the Bush!

I think you should Musty she is a great artist . A genius . I had a bit of a long chat with Arthurlee about her the other day as he asked . Why Kate Bush ? and he said that she was`n`t Prog ?! So I`m going to put forward my thoughts on why I think Kate is Prog . And I think this could get a great debate going . Kate Bush . Prog or Not ? . Yes , it`s called Wow . At the time of here first album when she was told how well it was selling , she just kept replying ...Wow !
