Stevie Nicks vs Kate Bush sing along a hit at Body and Soul
MUSIC 20 JUN 2016 Story by UTV Ireland Staff, Dublin
Sing Along Social with Stevie Nicks vs Kate Bush might just have saved a washed out and mucky Sunday at Body and Soul in Co Westmeath.
With more or less solid rain on Sunday, and after two nights of trampling the ground into a spongy mess of muck, the appetite for leaving the tent was low.
That is, until it was time for the Stevie Nicks vs Kate Bush sing-along showdown.
Sing Along Social, the brainchild of Aoife McElwain, usually takes a single iconic artist like Prince or Madonna and lets people just sing their hearts out along with the tracks.
Crowds slipped and slided through the dense mud to the Woodlands Stage where Wuthering Heights was destined to meet Dreams.
With the words all printed out and passed around, Aoife McElwain led the crowd in singing along to hits like Edge of Seventeen and Babooshka.
The masses were divided by screams for both singers and while Kate Bush got a loud cheer, Stevie Nicks - with a little help from Fleetwood Mac - stole the show.
Vinyl records were awarded to the “most emphatic and ethereal singers” but there wasn’t much encouragement needed.
