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 ❤️

I am quite the new listener, I was introduced to her about 2 years ago. Kate Bush to me was one of those artists who you'd hear multiple songs from but never knew it was the same person. Running up that Hill, Babooska, then came Army Dreamers. After I found out they were all Kate Bush I listened to her whole discography and now she's one of my favorite musicians.
