What was it like to work with Kate, as well as other icons, including Meryl Streep, Cher and Barry Humphries, to name a few. Tune in and find out on the latest Bush Telegraph podcast...

Paul in the UK, and Darrell in the USA, continue their album anniversary podcast chats and reminiscences. Paul and Darrell have been life-long fans of Kate, and from school friends to the present day, they have much to chat about. Here they discuss Kate's seventh album 'The Red Shoes', celebrating the 30th anniversary of this iconic album. We get to hear about their first responses to the album in 1993, and how they feel about it today. We also get to hear about Paul's experience of going to the film premiere of 'The Line, The Cross, And The Curve', Kate's visual companion to the album. Journal reviews are discussed and radio clips are played, bringing us right back to where it all started with this most personal of Kate's albums. That and whole lot more. Enjoy!

Darrell and Paul talk about being young teenagers, anticipating the release of Kate's masterpiece 'Breathing' and attending the very first Kate Bush Club Convention. Only 300 attended and they were two of the youngest ones there! They also discuss the one-sided test pressing of 'Breathing' that has a unique etching on it as well as differences to the published single.

In the first full episode for 2019, Seán decided to sit down and do a re-watch, with a commentary in real time, of Kate's 'The Line, The Cross and The Curve' released in 1993 to accompany The Red Shoes album. Watch along if you have access to a copy on VHS tape, laserdisc or the interwebs. He discovers a lot to like and celebrate about the film, despite it receiving a somewhat lukewarm reception in certain quarters since its release, not least from Kate herself! Grab some popcorn, a banana, mango, some sultanas and dress for the elements! It's really happening to ya...

Just a short minisode to kick off 2019 - I wanted to draw attention to the "Clarification" statement that Kate made today on her official website after over two years of false statements and articles appearing in print and social media about her supposed political affiliations. She's had enough! Good for you, Kate.
