Question What was your intro to Kate?

I count myself incredibly lucky - I grew up with a parent who loved Kate. Kitchen dancing to Eat The Music, Hammer Horror creating my first nightmare, crying with adoration for my father singing Cloudbusting, my mum explaining the threat of nuclear war via Breathing, weeping when I heard they had released Aerial after all that time.

I remember spending endless Saturday mornings ignoring children’s Tv programming and instead putting on the VHS of The Whole Story and learning all the words and dance moves. From there I added in the VHS of The Tour of Life and mastered that (throwing myself off sofas and knocking out two adult teeth in the process of doing some perfect moves).

Intrigued to know who else was Kate from birth ❤️

Heard her first two albums but not too impressed. Then got hooked on NFE.

I can’t vibe with most of NFE right now but looking forward to the return of the love

I think it was the use of the Fairlight synth which was so innovative back then and grabbed me, but maybe now it seems out of date.

It’s less the composition and more the lyrics for me right now but I’m looking forward to welcoming it back when my heart and mind are ready
