The more I got into presenting things to the world, the further it was taking me away from what I was, which was someone who just used to sit quietly at a piano and sing and play. It became very important to me not to lose sight of that. Kate Bush Welcome to the wonderful world of Almost Kate Bush, a captivating tribute show unlike any other.
