Send In The Clouds

Calling all Kate Bush fans.

Dubliner Sean Twomey has recorded a special podcast on the iconic video to Kate’s 1980s hit Cloudbusting.

Last month the song was re-released as a limited edition picture disc yet still topped the charts.

The video stars Hollywood favourite Donald Sutherland (top left) and the song was based on a book written by the son of psychologist Wilhelm Reich. The podcast is available  above and at the KB fan site katebushnews.com

Sean says he recorded the podcast on Father’s Day because Cloubusting is “one of the most beautiful songs ever written about the love between a child and their father.”

: I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now

    I am a little amused, as just last night I heard a cover of the song. Did not manage to catch the band (to Google after this, I guess), but I find the timing a little funny :)

      Be interested to hear who did the cover when you find out, Slightly Bemused :)

        There are more than I thought. Having to do a bit of extended research. Thankfully, most are good covers, and it is a great song :)

          Right, think I have it.

          Martin Newnham has a version that is what I think I heard (twas late at night as I was readying for bed). I think the actual radio version was more processed (this is a live version) but I am fairly certain its the same voice and definitely the same style of fast paced folkiness.

          Another good one, more ethereal, is Bradley Smith and Dirty Paint Brush Sky. Also worth a listen.

          Enjoy.

        Hi Bertie. I think I found them. The post with relevant links is just waiting to get off Santa’s naughty list :) I hope the ‘Sheet crew are enjoying Friday night drinkies rather than perusing a list, but I am sure it will appear in good time.
