Review:

The Kate Bush Story, performed by Hannah Richards and the award-winning Night Owl Band, is a spellbinding tribute that beautifully captures the essence of one of music’s most iconic artists. Making its debut at the Edinburgh Fringe, this show takes audiences on a nostalgic journey through the life and work of Kate Bush, offering heartfelt renditions of her biggest hits.

Hannah Richards shines in this performance, delivering powerful and emotive versions of classics like “Wuthering Heights,” “Running Up That Hill,” and “Cloudbusting.” Her voice, paired with the expert musicianship of the Night Owl Band, brings Kate Bush’s music to life in a way that is both respectful and refreshingly unique.

The show goes beyond just playing the hits. It delves into the story behind the music, giving fans new and old a deeper appreciation for Kate Bush’s artistry. The intimate setting of the Grand Theatre at Surgeons’ Hall adds to the experience, making it feel like a personal tribute to the enigmatic singer.

At 50 minutes, the show is perfectly timed to leave the audience wanting more without feeling rushed. It’s suitable for all ages, making it a great choice for families and music lovers alike.

The Kate Bush Story is a must-see for anyone who appreciates the magic of Kate Bush’s music. Hannah Richards and the Night Owl Band deliver a tribute that is both touching and exhilarating, making it a standout at this year’s Fringe.

Rating: ★★★★☆
