4.5. Other Artists using Kate's Work

This section compiles a list of all (known) cover versions of Kate's

songs, as well as a list of all (known) cases where Kate's music was sampled for use in another song. There are some question marks in there, which is when I didn't know more details. If you know the answer, don't hesitate!

Don't Give Up is also listed, despite the fact that it is not really a Kate Bush song. In some cases, there's no known recording of a live performance. Nevertheless these cases are listed as far as they are known.
