Following the huge success of the 2012 and 2013 events, HomeGround and katebushnews.com are pleased to announce that there will be another Kate themed party this very special year. Not only can we celebrate Kate’s forthcoming live shows, but also the publication of the two-volume HomeGround Anthology. A very special year indeed!
The party takes place on the night before the Summer Solstice, Friday 20th June 2014 and again will be at the legendary Royal Vauxhall Tavern. The RVT is in Vauxhall, South London, just over the Thames from the West End and is a two minute walk from Vauxhall Underground, main line and bus stations and is two tube stops from the Victoria railway terminus. The RVT is home to award-winning club night Duckie as well as the Hot August Fringe Festival and many other top music and cabaret events and performances.
We start at 9pm and go through to 3am. The party will feature Kate-themed DJ sets from Paul Burston, Phil Marriott, Dave Cross and Paul Thomas.
The night will also feature an exclusive live performance from Kate Bush tribute band Cloudbusting. The band will be performing a set mixing some of Kate’s most well-known songs with fan favourites. New Cloudbusting vocalist Mandy here performs Kashka from Baghdad:

Will see you there! 🙂
Just got tickets for the Dandies in London for 5th July, so what with that, finally making a Homeground/KBN party and Kate in September this is going to be a great year for crossing things off of my wish list.

I would love to have made it down there, but it’s not going to happen for me. I just know it will be fantastic, because you put on such fantastic events. Keep it Kate and Keep it Loud, Homeground!
zounds
Good to finally meet you face to face Peter and Krys after all these years – many thanks to you and others for a great night – CloudBusting were just amazing weren’t they!
Sorry that you couldn’t make it Seán, maybe next time eh?
Cheers – Mark (zounds).

It was a great party. Our thanks to everyone who came. Particular thanks to the DJs and their great tracks selections, and of course to Cloudbusting for a terrific and to Sky. Another “do” next year.

I did a search and found this tweet from jazz/pop/r&b drummer Omar Hakim, who played with Miles Davis, Weather Report, Alyson Williams, Chaka Khan, Sting, David Bowie, Daft Punk, … (http://omarhakim.com):

Kate Bush rehearsals are going GREAT! Got a much needed day off today… A little sightseeing around London today with friends will be fun!

In recent years Hakim has played with jazz pianist Rachel Z in The Trio of Oz. Rachel Z toured with Peter Gabriel during his Growing Up tours from 2002 to 2006. I think it is safe to assume this entire trio will be part of Kate Bush’ live band:
