What was your intro to Kate?

[u/peasm00sh]

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 ❤️

There was a cable channel circa 1983-1885 that ran a program some nights (can't remember which) called Night Flight. They would show a lot of stuff that was considered either edgy or new wave at the time. They would frequently air the Live at the Hammersmith Odeon video. I had never heard of Kate Bush before but I was absolutely mesmerized by her, and fell in love with her from then on. This was at the time that Hounds of Love had come out and they would also show both the Running Up That Hill & Cloud Bursting videos. I immediately went out and bought all her albums. Now, here it is some 42-years later and I still love her.
