Probably my favourite Kate Bush song. The old band covered it in 2011, I love our version, video done by my friend Andy, who later made the Benefits video Warhorse.

This is how it should work: Big gigs boost the economy, and that success is shared with the grassroots. Manchester City Council is setting aside almost £250,000 from this summer’s huge shows.

Big news.
The Royal Albert Hall has just become the first 5,000+ capacity arena to permanently adopt the £1 grassroots levy on all commercial rock and pop shows from October 2025 - a move that could raise £300,000 a year to support the foundations of the UK’s live music scene.
