50 Words for Kate Bush's comeback show
50 Words for Kate Bush's comeback show
eurydice by Cate Blanche August 27th, 2014

After the mad scramble for Kate Bush tickets (in which I blew my holiday fund twice over) DiS was also lucky enough to receive a single review ticket for the opening night of Before The Dawn. In deference to the huge numbers of fans still to see the show, we pondered the best way to "review" it without "spoilers".

So here we present... 50 Words for Kate Bush:
