In praise of Kate Bush… [videos]

In praise of Kate Bush... [videos]

Famously described by John Lydon as “fucking brilliant” and “a true original,” I’ve loved Kate Bush’s work ever since I heard the beautifully unique ‘Wuthering Heights.’

Despite her stunning albums being well received, she only toured once in 1979, and has been reluctant to appear in public ever since – prompting her to tell the Guardian that ‘she’s not some weirdo recluse‘!

Here’s some of her videos. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Here’s her duet with Pete Gabriel. It’s quite remarkable – and tragic – that a song about Thatcherite Britain from the grim times of the mid-1980s should resonate so powerfully in 2010.

One last video (because I could listen to these all night!).

One last thing…

Here’s her lesser known duet with Rowan Atkinson. It’s very funny.

  1. It’s always great to meet other Kate Bush fans. I’ve loved her since I was a kid and can never get enough of her music and vids. She truly is unique and special.
