Entitled "Reaching Out", this is a follow-up engagement to Kat's stint at 88s
last fall.  At that time, I posted a review of the show on AOL and reprinted
it in Lovehounds a couple of months ago.  That review formed the basis for
part of Uli's most recent FAQ update concerning live covers of Katesongs.
 For all who either missed it previously and/or might have an interest in
attending the upcoming series of shows, following are some excerpts from the
review and a complete list of songs performed:

=====================================
Singer Does Kate In NYC

"Kat Elwynn Devlin Sings The Songs Of Kate Bush" is just that -- Devlin is an
actress and club singer and rabid Bush fan whose repertoire consists solely
of Kate material...

For her finale, Devlin saved the best for last -- a searing, chilling
rendition of This Woman's Work, which managed to dampen eye sockets as
effectively as the Sensual World original.

Devlin is more of a KB interpreter than an imitator.  She appears more
comfortable with drama and humor than with sensuality.  Feel It, in
particular, seemed somewhat forced.  Her act doesn't include Bush's patented
Hammersmith pyrotechnics -- mostly, she's at the mike stand, sometimes on the
piano (shades of SNL!), and sings her heart out.  

If you're a KB fan, and getting to NYC on one of the next 3 Mondays is
doable, you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not checking out this show.
Whether Devlin has the uniqueness and authority to make it big-time might be
a valid question, but her ability to deliver the goods in the meantime to a
Kate-starved nation is, IMHO, beyond question.
