PRESS REVIEWS:
"A very special artist"
-- The Tom Robinson Show, BBC6 Radio 2016.

"Kate Bush meets medieval minstrels meets the White Stripes"
-- Oxjam Oxford, Oct 2016.

"Next up was the charmingly bonkers Velodrome... Throughout the set Kate floated between acoustic and electric guitar, and bass, seemingly at a moment’s whim. Her assembled troupe looked to her for guidance throughout as she led them with nods and winks through the songs.
It really shouldn’t have worked … but it definitely did! Kate’s stunning voice held the entire piece together – she sounds more like Kate Bush than Kate Bush does these days. The songs were beautiful, but don’t ask me what they were about – I was too distracted by the animal oven glove-wearing backing singers, and unicorn trousers."
--Gig review by Loud Women, April 2017

"Mysterious, unique, unusual, pushing the envelope, Bjork visits David Bowie who meets Gary Numan meets Madonna and the whole works bring out this montage of grooviness, whoa that be kinda interesting. Angelic vocals, strange brew here”
–Indie Music People, Jan 2017

Performances often involve sock puppets, animal-themed oven gloves and exercise equipment
