Attention Kate Bush fans! The rather brilliant Let Me In are returning to Newcastle Cathedral this August to pay homage to one of the UK’s finest singer-songwriters.

Oh, man! Are you prepared for this? An evening of pure gothic melodrama and sublime art-pop, and all of it happening in the historic nave of Newcastle Cathedral—all courtesy of touring theatre company Let Me In.  Following their critically acclaimed, sell-out cathedral tours paying tribute to Radiohead and Pink Floyd, this talented collective really are the bees knees and back with their most ambitious production yet. For one night only, a spectacular ten-piece band—fronted by the phenomenal Lydia Gardiner—will unite with the renowned Mike Nowland String Quartet to deliver a deep, orchestral exploration of Bush’s legendary discography. The concert is designed as a rich chronological journey. Audiences will travel from the theatrical, high-register magic of her 1978 debut ‘The Kick Inside’, through the synth-laden masterpieces of ‘Never For Ever’ and ‘Hounds of Love’, all the way to the maternal, textured warmth of her 2005 comeback, ‘Aerial’. Expect faithful, spine-tingling renditions of the monumental classics—including ‘Wuthering Heights’, ‘Babooshka’ and ‘Running Up That Hill’—alongside deeply curated rarities. Gonna be good! DP

An Evening of Kate Bush (Let Me In), Saturday 29 August, Newcastle Cathedral, 7.30pm, from £22.34, newcastlecathedral.org.uk
