The strains of Kate Bush’s song ‘Wuthering Heights’ will float down North Lismore’s Wotherspoon Street this Saturday when a gang of Kate Bush look-a-likes gather to dance to the iconic song.

There will be plenty of red dresses and floaty arm waving as Kate’s fans re-enact her unique dance style – made famous in the Wuthering Heights music video.

This Saturday, July 17 marks an International day of celebrating Kate Bush’s birthday and in Lismore, the local gathering is called The Most Wuthering Heights Day Lismore.

Organiser and Kate Bush fan, Donna Spotty Girl Walker, invites anyone interested in participating or watching, to come along.

All you need to do is wear red, watch the song’s video and try to emulate her dance movements.

If you can look like Kate Bush, even better - wear a floaty red dress, put on a black wig and wear a red flower in your hair.

The fun all started about five years ago when a group of locals (The Kates of Lismore) who loved the song ‘Wuthering Heights’ started up the local event.

“We all love the song, dressing up like Kate Bush and the energy of getting out and dancing in the park for fun,” Donna said.

“Anyone who wants to get involved just needs to look at the dance in the song’s video before they come.

“There’s even an instructional video on YouTube that people can watch to see the simple moves we will do.”

People are encouraged to arrive by 10.30am and then go through a few practice runs of the song before it is captured on film by Tony Batchelor, with intentions to be uploaded to YouTube – along with hundreds of others across the world.

“We will all be outside and socially distanced - and people can choose to wear masks,” Donna said.

“Even if you don’t want to participate come, bring the kids and puppies, and just watch – and bring your own chair if you want to sit down.”

The event will be held at the little park at the end of Wotherspoon Street in North Lismore, from 10.30 to 11.30am.

Donna said there’s not much parking on the street, so it’s best to park on Bridge Street and walk down to the park.

“It’s looking to be good weather on Saturday,” she said “If it rains we will call it off.

“After we are done, we usually all go to the Northern Rivers Hotel together.”
