A Kate Bush Cornucopia

On May 15th, Ironworks Studios in Brighton is hosting 'A Kate Bush Cornucopia,' a tribute show led by Paul Diello. The performance focuses on the extensive discography of Kate Bush, ranging from well-known tracks like 'Wuthering Heights,' 'Running Up That Hill,' and 'Babooshka' to some of her less common songs. The production incorporates three-part harmonies and, for this specific show, features the Marella Quartet, who provide string arrangements throughout the evening to add a different texture to the music.

The show is structured to include an interactive Kate Bush quiz, which runs alongside the musical performance to engage the audience. The event is scheduled to last approximately two and a half hours, including an interval. Doors open at 19:00, with the music starting at 20:00. Attendees should be aware that the production uses fog and smoke effects as part of the stage design, which is a standard technical detail for this particular performance.

Regarding attendance, the venue has set an age restriction of 14+ (though some sources note 16+), and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Children under two are not permitted under the venue's policy. Tickets are priced between £16.93 and £17 for general admission, with group options available at £36 for a table of two and £72 for a table of four. Given the venue's location at 30 Cheapside, it is worth noting that previous iterations of this show have sold out, so planning ahead is a practical consideration for those interested in attending. The show aims to balance the theatrical elements of Kate Bush’s work with the live musical arrangements provided by Diello and the quartet.
