It looks as though Kate is back in the studio, oh well, another 8 years to go.

I can't find anything on that website about her making new work, maybe I missed it. They talk about the 'new' album but I presume they mean Aerial, as the site looks like it doesn't get update very often. Would be good to hear that she was working on new stuff, when we'll hear it though is another matter all together.
17th January 2009: With the great recent coverage in The Word magazine and the upcoming BBC documentary I couldn't resist sharing with you that Del Palmer posted on his Myspace last week that he was in the studio with "you-know-who." Obviously we can't read tooooo much into this but we'd be kidding ourselves if he didn't mean Kate was working (as now expected) on follow-up material to her Aerial album. Wonderful news. We are older and wiser now and don't expect any new music shortly, but can only smile contentedly and send out our wishes that fun is had in the studio yet again. |

Such an awe inspiring unique talent ... when will we see her like again?
It's hard to pick out favourite tracks .. they are all gorgeous. Listening to the 'Ninth Wave' on headphones in the middle of the night is worth a try (will frighten the life out of you almost) ... 'Oh England, my Lionheart' is a favourite. In a way .. because of the adverts .. 'This Woman's Work' has almost been ruined but it's still hauntingly beautiful. I like the way she collaborates with all sorts of people .. like Lenny Henry (as someone has already mentioned) and Rolf Harris. Plus the way she could lend her own vocals as back up (as in 'Games Without Frontiers') to beautiful effect. I heard that the Brit's would offer her a lifetime achievement award if only she would perform but she has refused. I can't blame her not wanting to add her name to the absolute sham that is the Brit Awards but I so wish she would. |

Pyramid stage, full orchestra, purple stage lighting, laser light show..... and at the point where Kate sang the words 'Look at the Sky' I just know half the crowd would be flooded with tears..... in fact just imagining it sets me off

Far be it for me to rub it in, but I saw Kate at the London Palladium in 79 (shows my age).

i was 8 at that time and didn't become aware of kate till the hounds of love album.......i always dream of a time machine that takes me back to that tour
![]() All the performances are fantastic but I particularly liked 'L'Amour Looks Something Like You', 'James and the Cold Gun' and the mime for 'Hammer Horror' but it's a difficult one cos every song is choreographed and sung perfectly. I never saw it live but I wish I had .. and those that did probably didn't realise at the time they were seeing something very rare let alone exquisite. |

The footage of the Hammersmith Odeon concert is fantastic .. that bit at the end after Wuthering Heights where she starts waving and then puts her flowers down and starts leaping up and down waving always moves me to tears .. I don't know why cos it's not sad but it's just so endearing.

Kate Bush is incredible. 'Hounds of love' was the first album I brought aged 14 (im 20 now). Each one of her songs is like a piece of art in itself, I love this woman, she's a genius on so many levels.
Fave Kate Bush songs are - Wuthering heights (of course), suspended in gaffa, get out of my house, running up that hill, cloudbusting, and more, i like all of them really. Although her latest stuff isn't so good, i like her more when shes being 'crazy'. |

![]() i agree though that those there probably didn't realise the rarity of what they were fortunate enough to experience!! Oh, but I did. I still have the programme and cuttings from the papers, Record Mirror (gone but not forgotten) and Popstars (I think it was called). It's a pity they have never released the concert uncut including all the songs. |

I've been listening to Wow quite a lot recently. Kate Bush is slowly growing on me.

I was 8 when she perfomred live and did manage to see a gig which is still quite vivid in my memory esp the WH ending. I was also at The Big Sky video shoot back in 1986 and thatw as well good.
I am HOPING for an album next year...autumn 2010. Actually I am hoping for a gig at the Albert hALL....BUT HEY..... |

Am I ( I think I am) right in saying Hammersmith was the first time anyone had used a headset mike?
Yep, all through that tour it was used. Beat that Madonna! |

yes, and the ironic thing is that years later I've seen it being used by 'groups' like 'Hearsay' or 'Atomic Kitten' et al .. to enable them to MIME without having to hold the mic!!
