AN AWARD-WINNING Kate Bush tribute act will hit the Citadel stage this February.

Tribute artist, Lorrie Brown will appear in 'The Red Shoes. Our Kate Bush Story’ at the venue on Saturday, February 20.

Ahead of the show, Lorrie said: "I am so excited to be portraying one of my heroes from the 70s music scene. I absolutely love her, she is so theatrical in her performances.

"I believe she was way ahead of her time. If you look at her performance in her concert back in 1979 at the Hammersmith Odeon, she was way ahead of anyone else performing at the time."

Lorrie added: "Her ideas would still work in a concert today. We have tried to develop a show which we hope would please Kate if she were to see our show.

"I recreate many of her dance routines and costumes, any moves I put in myself, I try to produce in a similar style."

Lorrie also has a couple of similarities to the real Kate Bush herself.

"We both grew up in Kent at around the same time and I was heavily into the local dance scene, entering competitions and studying dance at a local college," she added.

Lorrie will be joined on stage by an experienced live four-piece band, Clive (drums and percussion), Geoff (bass), Fito (guitars) and MD Paul (keys).

"The guys in the band are totally into her music and play it with passion and even let me dress them up on the stage in costumes," added Lorrie.

"We have been getting some very good feedback from the audiences who have seen the shows so far."

The show starts at 7.30pm and tickets cost £12.50 each.
