Went to see this show in last week. Had seen several other Night Owl productions, Bond, Police and Fleetwood Mac. All were excellent.
Hannah Richards was absolutely stunning as Kate Bush, and the band were superb. Her singing and performance were first class, and at times superlative. As a Kate Bush fan, particularly her earlier music, I cannot rate this highly enough. I hope it comes back next year as I would love to see it again. *****

Thoroughly enjoyed the performance and professionalism of the band and singer. It was very well put together with a lot of energy, grace and emotion. Would definitely recommend and would love to see it again. Thanks for a great evening!

Having thoroughly enjoyed their tribute to James Bond, I was really keen for this offering from Night Owl Shows (Kate Bush is one of my favourite Artists: I use the capitalised 'A' consciously). It did not disappoint.
The show features several songs from big hits to arguably lesser-known ones including a phenomenal Oh To Be In Love), with anecdotes and musical history titbits between numbers. They're performed with verve and power. The main vocalist isn't a perfect mimic, and that 100% works as it lets her own incredible vocals stand tall in their own right.
You can tell this show, and Kate Bush, means a lot to all involved, the audience included. This is surely a Fringe mainstay in the making.

An astonishing show. I always do several Night Owl shows every year, a top bunch of talented musicians, but they are even better this year. I'm not much of a KB fan but went with two friends who were visiting Edinburgh who are genuine KB obsessives. They were blown away with the quality of the performance. I didnt know all the material but was blown away by a simply stunning vocal performance. Goodness me, this young woman can sing!!!! My friends, who are never ever easily impressed, were gushing with praise for Hannah and the band. Superb.

I have to admit, that I was nervous about booking this show as I’m wary of tribute shows. However, this performance was tremendous : great band, great sound and what a voice.
Fab!

I don't know how anybody can sing like Kate Bush but she does it. Breathtaking performances!

This is such a great show. Hannah’s voice is awesome. Her ability to sing the complexity of Kate Bush’s music is second to none. Having followed KB from the very start in 1978 and seen her live at the Apollo, I can honestly say that this act does significant justice to the original. Her rendition of This Woman’s Work was outstanding.

An incredible group of performers, beautiful music and fascinating to get the story behind the singer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Normally not a fan of tribute acts but went as Kate Bush is a lifetime favourite. Bowled over - Im not an emotional person but tears were dripping off my chin at the rendition of "This womans work". Would happily have sat there and watched the show on repeat.

Even better than I dared to hope - talented musicians and a phenomenal lead singer. Plus the show had heart. Go see it!

Great show . Hannah is a wonderful singer and portrays Kate Bush beautifully. Her supporting band are tight giving Hannah the perfect support. Four very talented musicians. My only complaint was that the show ended . I loved it as did the rest of the audience .

Decided to go to this last minute and so glad we did! Wonderful music (obviously, it's Kate Bush) performed with real love and talent by Hannah Richards, backed with an excellent band. Loved hearing the little tidbits of info between each song also. A real treat

Fab show - thank you to whoever thought to include a Kate Bush tribute! Hannah does well to emulate Kate's vocal delivery and mannerisms. Great song choices, including an unexpected favourite "Oh to be in love" from Kick Inside. Such a shame the show isn't twice as long :-)
