The original Kate Bush band members playing the music of Kate Bush 

The KT Bush Band were formed in 1977 and featured Vic King on drums, Brian Bath on guitar, Del Palmer on bass and a young female singer called Kate Bush. The band gigged throughout London and the South of the U.K. playing many of Kate’s original tunes alongside classic covers, and Brian went on not only to perform on her early hit albums, but also the original Tour Of Life, Kate’s only ever tour.

Now the band are back, with original members Vic and Brian, Steve Bevan on bass, Emily Francis on keyboards, and the sensational Sallie-Anne Hurst on vocals.

Amadou Diagne from Senegal and French-American Cory Seznec first met whilst busking on the streets of Bath in 2007. Both multi-instrumentalist, singers and composers, they discovered a strong musical connection that planted the seeds of a future collaboration in their minds. Touki is the Wolof word for Travel, Wolof being one of the main languages spoken in Senegal. For Amadou and Cory, Touki refers to the travelling with music that brought them together and finds expression in the eclectic, exciting, syncopated and poly-rhythmic dynamic between the two musicians as they write and perform, creating music that seeks to find common ground and surprises.

Cory Seznec is somewhere between a musical wanderer and an uncertified ethnomusicologist. He brings his background of American old time, bluegrass, New Orleans finger style guitar and claw hammer banjo. Amadou Diagne has deep roots in the Griot music traditions of West Africa through a long family line of percussionists and traditional praise singers. A self-taught kora player and guitarist, he has developed a unique and intricate style to accompany himself which draws on his skills as a percussionist.
