I saw her at the Birmingham Hippodrome on 5th April 1979 ('TheTour Of Life', or 'Lionheart Tour' as it was originally called). It was her fourth show of the tour, and it was one of the best gigs I ever attended. That was her last ever tour...almost 35 years ago.
This one isn't really a tour because all 15 shows are at the same venue. Last time she did a 21-venue six-week tour, travelling all around Britain and mainland Europe, and it ended at
the Hammersmith Odeon - now the Hammersmith Apollo - the venue she has chosen to
return to for the new shows. She was just 20 at the time, and she said afterwards: "I felt a terrific need to retreat as a person because I felt that my sexuality,
which in a way I hadn't really had a chance to explore myself, was being given
to the world in a way which I found impersonal."
Well, I had her picture on my bedroom wall...Sorry Kate!

I think it could be pretty difficult to come by tickets for any of these! I will be sitting on linne next week pressing various buttons. If I do get tickets (There I go , fantisising already) I hope she plays all stuff off Aerial and Snow! Tickets first!

These will be sold within one minute. Good luck, folks. Should be interesting to hear how she does here weirder stuff live. I guess probably muted versions like on Director's Cut.

I fear you may be right. I predict now the various websites selling the tickets all crash within minutes and the Internet is flooded with people complaining that they couldn't get tickets.
I'm still going to try though - does anyone know where you can sell your right bollock?

I'd sell my right b0llock to be at one of these shows if necessary. Don't know who'd want it mind...
I think on the whole Kate would prefer cash Andy.
I was slightly surprised to turn my phone on and find an alert from Songkick to say that Kate Bush was touring. Yeah right. Still, better check BBC News just in case.
