   It's not quite clear, but you seem to be claiming that your friend
saw Kate open for Joan Armatrading. Kate never opened for *anyone*.
She had a short period of playing in pubs with the KT Bush Band, but
that was during the peroid between being signed and recording _The
Kick Inside_. At no point was she in a position of being an opening
act. Before TKI she was a complete unknown in a local band that
did a few bar gigs. After TKI she was a number one artist. There
was never an "opening band" period in her career.
