Night Of The Swallow (Kate Bush) performed by Cloudbusting

Surely one of the greatest songs from one of the bravest albums ever written! And what a joy to perform it here, for the first time, at The Islington Assembly Hall as part of our celebration of 40 Years of Kate Bush.
A big 'thank you' to our wonderful backing singers Julia Krajewska and Nadie Keating.

[@Dermacrosis]

Any updates on tours now that we are starting to get back to pre-pandamic normality where laws and performances are concernedy?

[@marlsborough5347]

I never even knew there was such a thing as a Kate Bush tribute act. I think if I saw this song live I would probably burst into tears, lol.

[@ooodisea]

omg her voice sounds exactly like kate, i'm living

[@marcelokonemba9928]

What a surprise. Night of the Swallow in my opinion is Kate's VERY BEST song, I always wondered how it would sound if ever performed alive. Awesome, just awesome. Love you guys, Cloudbusting. Keep sharing more videos with us, Kate Bush fans around the world.

[@Simon.v.G.]

Totally agree on the best Kate song. Lovely performance! I heard the tune in a pub in Ireland a couple of years ago. Is it an Irish classic?

[@Mel_ilm]

Same here. Just amazing to hear it covered in such a professional manner. Thank you!

[@majheerink]

@@Simon.v.G. Well, it was only released there as a single in 1983 (probably because of the Irish music and Irish musicians participating), so I guess it's a classics of sorts there?

[@lemorab1]

I never would've thought anyone but Kate Bush could do justice to "Night of the Swallow." This is magnificent. "The Dreaming is a work of art. Thank you for this brilliant performance.

[@houdinibadtongue]

Best Kate Bush tribute band so far... Bravo ! Come to France.

[@swimmyswimmy8937]

Absolutely brilliant, PLEASE come to California!!! :)

[@Muffysb]

Utterly beautiful performance of this song! And it's one of my Kate Bush favourites. Brave indeed.

[@kentmains7763]

Just a brilliant performance! One of my favorite songs, and the drummer was spot on!

[@Muziq4tune]

A very difficult song to sing especially LIVE. Brilliant!!!

[@houdinibadtongue]

Best Kate Bush tribute Band I have seen live , either as a trio or a full band with even Del Palmer playing with them on stage. I cannot wait to see them again soon. I was lucky to see Kate Bush live on stage in 1979 and 2014 so I know what I am talking about. 🎶👌

[@jayburdification]

This is absolutely amazing, I did not think that any tribute band out there could do this song justice but I was wrong ❤️

[@firecatfly]

Fantastic. I have watched this over and over again in awe of the precision and artistry of these amazing musicians. Beautiful. Thank you so much.

[@roie3600]

This is CRAZY!!!! ❤

[@danbal4185]

Thank you for this amazing live performance of this masterpiece

[@geoffroberts7521]

Stunning rendition.Really looking forward to the next Acapela Studio gig.

[@robanderson9075]

after Kate - only cloudbusting can touch this x

[@louisecareswell5958]

You are absolutely awesome Cloudbusting...so much love and admiration for you guys 💕

[@jakeimhotep4866]

Thank you, thank you, thank you soooo much! This has always been one of my favourite KB songs and this performance of it was simply perfect. Please come to Canada.

[@stevepope6095]

Amazing you could sell out every state in America .

[@Dermacrosis]

The best cover of the great K8T ever. I am in awe of your talent.

[@SixStringSteve]

Amazed.

[@charlesperez9976]

That was magnificent. Today is 9/11,and the song ‘moments of pleasure’ is hitting me hard right now. My respect to you. Night of the swallow is very important to me!

[@Merylstreep1949]

Cloudbusting is not a tribute band, they are the in the flesh version of Kate that is more accessible and is the continuing version of KB giving us the live shows and music videos we perhaps never got to see. I'm probably biased but the others trying to capture the magic of Kate in my humble opinion don't hold a candle to you,

[@michalmazurewicz7240]

Thank U for the amazing show last nite in Cork, Ireland... 👍💖

[@dinoverginella8956]

Great Bass Part .....well played!!

[@Rlancup]

Wonderful!

[@jedcurry8560]

I think you may just have cracked it,...it's a definite,..YES.

[@boogyjuggy]

great song...well done

[@petergreen2552]

One of my favourite Kate Bush tracks. This is a quite superb cover. Spine chilling.

[@stevemalibu99]

Wow! Fantastic

[@luiztebet9636]

I love this song. Thanks !!!!

[@Thedoctorsback]

Oh my days! I was having a KB blitz on You Tube and thought I'd see if there was film for Night of the Swallow. This is beautiful and has moved me to tears. One of my favourite KB songs; you did her proud.

[@3Fadu]

Que maravilha!! Emocionante,brilhante e lindo!!

[@Dermacrosis]

This is one of the songs that rotates regularly for my fourth and fifth favourite K8T song. My primary favourite song is "Wuthering Heights" as that was my intro to her when it was released. My second favourite song is "Get Out Of My House" and my third is "This Womans Work". Fourth and fifth place regularly changes between this song, Under The Ivy, Waking The Witch, Under Ice, Dream Of Sheep, Houdini, Breathing, The Infant Kiss (though I prefer the French version), Hammer Horror, The Man With The Child In His Eyes, Rubberband Girl, Lily, Mrs. Bartolozzi (just because only the great K8T could get away with a song about laundry), The Kick Inside, and WoW.

[@marlsborough5347]

This Woman's Work always makes me cry. Hounds of Love is a desert island album for sure!

[@mrtimtremmel8465]

WOW this is an amazing version...the band are spot on as well...fancy a gig in Hong Kong ?

[@mandywatson8154]

Thanks Tim! We'd love to go to Hong Kong! Maybe one day...

[@idiedoflaughterinc.4418]

wow.....this is so beautiful.

[@GrumpyPhotographer]

Stunning as always.

[@darylperrier]

You nailed it! I only had to look at the comments to realize that it wasn't kate bush. of course, you look like her but I can't tell the difference you got every nuance of this song. I have been listening to and singing kate bushes songs and as good as I can copy or mimic her, I come way behind you in capturing her total essence. Bravo for a great copy and tribute of my favorite singer.

[@renaudstevenin9173]

C est bon ça ! Cooĺ

[@joeagger]

this was stellar...please come to Denver!

[@Heselbine]

I think the key to this song is desperation in the singer's voice - you nailed it. Fabulous.

[@itschadka]

come to Seattle omg. there's so many Kate Bush fans here

[@soundimpressions]

Great!

[@Stefano64rah]

Wow!

[@flo15jo]

O ..... M ...... G ......

[@hovdini]

omg! amazing!!

[@Dermacrosis]

Still the best cover of a K8T song ever. Due to past experience I was prepared to be very disappointed, but do me sideways and dry it blew me away. I would love to hear you do Under the Ivy.

[@JozGadman]

Magnifique 💕

[@henriktronstad7050]

Fantastic! Any plans on coming to Stockholm?? Pretty please?

[@Dermacrosis]

One of the ones many don't consider covering and I love this as it is bloody brilliant. Have you done Kashka From Baghdad? If not please do it. She has to be the second most beautiful singer after Kate herself. Completely off topic can I get the numbers of the guitarists I would like to have some fun times with both of them.......😜😈

[@gracelove886]

Oh wow... I thought it was KB singing.

[@busterbroniarczyk4796]

will Cloudbusting ever come to America?

[@miguelgaytan8791]

I want to see how you will perform this morning Fox the hounds of love and don't give up

[@hendersonmel1]

A bit chubbier than the 70's, but still a fantastic, heart-breaking voice! Loved that woman for decades and will until the end...

[@hendersonmel1]

Oh, that' Oh, that's not Kate...

[@Merylstreep1949]

Apologies to Kate but Mandy does it better in my opinion ❤❤❤❤

[@Dermacrosis]

Nope, there is a reason the great goddess K8T has never been covered by anyone. Tributes are sot covers. Don't get me wrong I love Cloudbusting too I mean they are bloody good, but no one dooes it better than K8T.

[@robmaniero4273]

..how to make money using Kate's name..,without having HER art...enough, it's time to say STOP!

[@lindaneil160]

No, that's not right at all. The reason TRIBUTE acts are out there, is to give us-The Fans- a chance to see the next best thing. They are paying respects to the original music. If we cannot see the real thing-why not this??

[@robmaniero4273]

linda neil "De gustibus non est disputandum" I only see a bad imitation of Kate, she also wants to look like her look..but she has a shrill and boring voice! Kate should consult a lawyer for image damage!

[@robmaniero4273]

RuhrMensch 66 Good 4 u! For me to do a cover means to give a personal interpretation, as did KB with Rocket Man, here there is only a clumsy and ugly imitation!

[@robmaniero4273]

RuhrMensch 66 It's not a problem. It only disgusts me that a person with NO talent uses and imitates KB in this way ... imitating her voice and her movements ... but only my opinion, sharable or not..

[@lindaneil160]

But she HAS got a talent-she can sing!!! She happens to sound like an icon, I do not see what the problem is with a) showing this talent off and b) making money out of this. People are paying to see her! good luck to her and the band.
