The spectacular tribute to the Queen of Pop starring Kieshia Chun & her Million Dollar Band. Kieshia is one of the UK’s Best International Tribute Acts who began her exciting musical voyage of artistic discovery in 1996. Since then, she has used constant collaboration and exploration to shape the signature sound that echoes that of the late, great Whitney Houston.

Kieshia gained her experiences working with the likes of Maxi Priest and the Four Tops as well as performing at large corporate events with some impressive venues to welcome her. Whitney has been the soundtrack to Kieshia’s life and so it seemed only natural to pay homage to her idol.

As an eternal fan of Whitney, and with the power to match her vocals, Kieshia’s 29-years of experience enables her to offer a top quality performance for every occasion.

Moments of Pleasure: The Ultimate Tribute to Kate Bush present This Woman’s Work, a journey through the career of one of the UK’s greatest musical artists.

Featuring the astounding vocal performance of Lisa-Marie Walters and a band of virtuoso musicians, Moments of Pleasure are hailed by The Sunday Times Magazine as one of
the UK’s top 10 tributes. Widely acclaimed as the closest you can get to experiencing Kate Bush live, the band have been exciting audiences across the country for over five years.

Kate Bush’s debut single, Wuthering Heights, was nothing short of a phenomenon. She was the first female artist to have a self-penned No. 1 hit, at only nineteen years old, and has not stopped her artistic innovation since. With every album she has broken new ground and yet has still managed to consistently make music that masses of people want to listen to.

Join Moments of Pleasure as they take you through Kate’s astonishing body of work from The Kick Inside to Aerial. The show includes hits like the mischievous Babooshka and surprise 21st Century smash Running Up That Hill, through fan favourites such as Them Heavy People and Hammer Horror, to a few deep cuts like Night of The Swallow and The Wedding List.

This is an evening that no Kate Bush fan would want to miss. A joyous celebration of all things Kate!

“With your eyes closed, you could be in the presence of the originator. If you need to hear these songs live, this is the way to do it.” – ROCKFIEND

“It’s good to know that we can still hear accurate live renditions of Kate’s music today courtesy of the likes of Lisa-Marie.” – CHOICE RADIO, WORCESTER
