Cheers for heads up Garion will record or I player save it.

me too

it's worth bearing in mind that some of the videos will not have aged well, and the early ones were made in an era of, well, video and so look a little grainy, but since she's arguably the greatest female artist this country's ever produced I shall be tuning in with some Innis and Gunn to flavour proceedings.

I wonder whether they'll gloss over the Rolf Harris stuff - his didgeridoo and her imitation of his vocal style are both very evident in The Dreaming and he features on many more tracks which one would hope someone at the Beeb will have had the good taste to have cut.

she sees me and calls me cathy

Both repeated tonight on BBC4 from midnight till 2:00 and well worth seeing if you missed it the other night.

Thanks garion, was disappointed to miss it on friday and had no idea it was gonna be re-run tonight, really enjoyed it

Her first gig in 35 years is tomorrow night, it'll be fascinating to see what the critics make of it.

The documentary having reinvigorated my enthusiasm for all things Bushy (ahem) I've started reading; 'Under The Ivy - The Life and Music of Kate Bush' by Graeme Thomson. It gives some fascinating insights into her early life and creative process (as well as stuff like EMI dumping the KT Bush band in favour of session musicians for the first two albums).

What also comes across is the tremendous respect (if not awe) on behalf of all who worked with her at the start of her career - as sound engineer Jon Kelly reveals of an early recording session for 'The Kick Inside'
'It was fabulous, it was what I had gone into the business to do, to have those moments. They are few and far between. I remember her sitting at the piano singing those songs and it was just mesmerising. You could have put the mike anywhere in the room and recorded it on anything. It was an absolute joy, there was nothing to fix.'

i not had time to watch it yet

make time.. and that goes for ANYONE reading - this woman is a completely unique talent, and in a way I'm sorry I made a kinda sexualized topic logo, but she's never shied away from her own sensuality. I've hated some of her work instantly, only to return to it with utter devotion years later, and this may be because although she's only a year older than me, she's about 10 years ahead of me in musical terms.

OMG she's on the front page's of nearly every newspaper (see post date).
