KATE BUSH fans in Teddington are set to be treated to a tribute to the pioneering musician this week as the acclaimed band 'Cloudbusting' will take the stage at the Landmark Arts Centre.

Cloudbusting have been championed by celebrities and critics since they started performing in 2012.

Former collaborators of Kate Bush have even been inspired to join the the tribute act for performances including her former drummer from 1979-1982 Preston Heyman, plus bass player Del Palmer and dancer Stewart Avon Arnold.

Heyman said: "Mandy's vocals were so good, I could have been listening to Kate herself!"

BBC Radio 2 presenter Simon Mayo has led critics in singing the band's praises saying: "If you missed out on seeing Kate Bush herself, Cloudbusting are the next best thing."

"There can only be one Kate Bush" says vocalist Mandy Watson, who never attempts to mimic Kate on stage.

"When you sing her music the characters in the songs take over – they are what you become, not Kate. We're just fans, delighted at this opportunity to perform the music we love so much."

Cloudbusting will be putting on a very special Christmas celebration at their Landmark gig, featuring all the hits you'd expect as well as many songs you wouldn't!

Wuthering Heights, Running Up That Hill, Hounds of Love, This Woman's Work plus the seasonal delights of December Will Be Magic Again and Home For Christmas are all set to entertain audiences.
