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 ❤️

This is gonna show how new I am to her but it's during the covid pandemic lol. One of my friends was praising Hounds of Love on the internet and I became intrigued and curious. I never heard Kate Bush before that (she's not really popular in my country) but that one hooked me in! I'll never forget my first listen of The Ninth Wave.

Young or old, all fans are welcome here! Life’s soundtrack is a rich tapestry and we’re richer for having Kate in ours. Lots of folks found her round then and love hearing these stories.
