Hello to all fellow Kate Bush fans. Just a little background of yours truly......
Im 48 years old, and have been a fan of Kate since 1978. When at building college i had all my fellow students save me all magazine and newspaper articles of Kate which i formed into a scrap book ! ive still got the book !!
Over the years ive been really frustrated that Kate didnt give us more music, she is truly a genius and touches the soul with her work.
My only regret is turning down the...

Hello, I'm Mike from West Sussex.

I'm currently rediscovering Kate after a long break - (since Hounds, although I haven't really listened to much else particularly in the meantime). I was aware of her subsequent album releases, but let them pass by.
Then a few months ago I read she'd won that reader's poll about the best cover with Rocket Man, which I'd never heard, so out of curiosity I looked it up on Youtube. I've been lost there ever since,...

Time to say hello! I've been living in England for nearly ten years, since I moved from Sweden to focus on my photography. Today photography is 110% of what I do, and my best photoshoots always has Kate in the playlist! I'm joining the 25 year anniversary Wuthering Hike in a couple of weeks and I'm extremely excited - is that wrong?

I'm also a massive photography book addict, typophile, Mac-geek and pretend drummer (favourite drum-album is Hounds of Love). The first Kate...

Hello from London!

feeds@yuku.com (smokeyheinz) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:05:55 GMT

I'm Zack, 16 from East London and I'm studying film at college. I'm a massive Kate fan and my all-time favourite album is The Dreaming. My favourite director is Alfred Hitchcock (I know that Kate is a fan, someone dressed as Hitch makes an appearence in the The 39 Steps inspired Hounds of Love video!) and my favourites authors are Agatha Christie and Stephen King.
I'm sure that will do. Hello!

Hello everyone!!!

Hello everyone, it's nice to be here (I know, I'm a little late for the party lol!)!

I discovered Kate years ago on Youtube. I confess I did laugh when I first saw the Wuthering Heights video but I played it over and over again and I realized I'm watching a great artist. I became a big fan since then I'm very glad I decided to replay that video I watched years ago. Though I find the video not to my liking at first, I instantly became aware that I'm liking the...

Hello from a Grimsby Kate fan!

feeds@yuku.com (Hezoid) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 22:37:25 GMT

Hello everyone, i'm Helen, though my nickname is Hezoid (or Hez for short). I've been a Kate fan since around 1993 when i first heard The Red Shoes playing on my dads car radio after he got her album for x-mas. I was intrigued by The Song of Solomon and the fact that Kate sang 'don't want your bull****', and that my dad let me listen to it when i was only about 10!
I then raided my dad's 'tape drawer' and found Hounds of Love which was just a little too...

Hello, Magdeleen here!

feeds@yuku.com (Miss Gradenko) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 10:55:00 GMT

Hello everybody,

Since I prefer people who google my name to find my website first, rather than my yuku account and/or whatever comments I make on here, I've decided to change my username to Miss Gradenko. Obviously it refers to that Police-song, which I like very much.
Following step will be deleting the other account I guess, but I'm all for gentle transitions.

So, hope you like the "new" me.

Magdeleen

Hi everyone!

feeds@yuku.com (ThunderInOurHearts) — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 01:41:14 GMT

Hello everyone, so finally I got round to using this account!

I'm Lucy, I'm sixteen and have been a fan of Kate's for about two and a half years. It's great to be on a site where everyone can discuss her work and things.
So, I look forward to chatting with you all.

Hello from the wonderful state of Indiana!

Hi, I'm new here, obviously. I'm a young Kate Bush fan, but I'm just as excited and devoted to Kate as any old fan would be.

I've been a Kate fan for almost three years now, and I can honestly say that she changed my life. I was really apathetic towards music before. I didn't like what was popular, and wasn't looking for much
outside of what was on the radio. Once I found out about Kate, I realized that there was lot more to music than I once thought,...

Dropping down in my parachute

feeds@yuku.com (DecemberWillBeMagicAgain) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 14:41:01 GMT

Hi everyone. I'm not really a new user as such, I originally signed up with the name Sun set but before I did many posts and got to know people, I wanted to settle on a different name which Mike has kindly approved (thanks!).

And so this post is just to let you know the change of name.

I look forward to reading more posts and adding contributions too. x

Hello everyone

feeds@yuku.com (Helen Bywater) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 18:07:53 GMT

Hi, I'm Helen. I've been a big fan of Kate for many years. My partner loves her too, and so does his daughter. Kate bridged the generation gap for us, as she was the first artist whose work we all enjoyed equally. I can still picture my stepdaughter, aged six, dressed up in an old glittery skirt of mine (full length on her) dancing around our living room to 'The Hounds of Love', miming throwing her shoes in the lake. She's grown up now, with a little one of her own, and my...

Hi from the Midlands!

feeds@yuku.com (piginapoke) — Tue, 05 May 2009 23:04:25 GMT

Hello,

I'm Robin living in the Midlands and I'm belatedly rediscovering Kate Bush (better late than never).

It's been many a year since I had The Whole Story playing endlessly on repeat on my cd player. Much time has passed and I've flirted with other musical interests since, in particular All About Eve, Stone Roses, Cocteau Twins. Then I stumbled across Wuthering Heights on Youtube and really wanted to explore more of wonderful Kate's music, having...

First message board I've ever been inclined to post on - a week's lurking has convinced me that I'm as mad as the rest of you.

Blah, blah, saw KT on TOTP in 1978 when I was 12, hated her, blah, blah, in 80s friend lent me 'The Dreaming' and I quite liked it, blah blah, HOL came out and realised how wrong I'd been and bought all the early albums. Got everyone in my entire college listening to it, blah blah, fell in love while The Kick Inside played in the...

Hello everyone I'm Julien from Brussels. I have a wide interest in Kate Bush since years. Her work is important for me in many ways.

I work as an author and a radio host in Belgium. I sometimes refers to her in my work, albeit discreetly.

I'm glad to be with you and share everything we know about her ! It's about time !

Hello, I'm Nicole.

feeds@yuku.com (wake up love) — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 23:12:20 GMT

Hello everyone. I first heard Kate a couple of years ago and ever since listening to her music is my favourite hobby, it has actually cured a bad flu I had, it just snapped me out of my misery. A miracle. It is lovely to read all your wonderful posts. I feel so lucky to have discovered her beautiful world, Nicole.

Hi....katewixen here.

feeds@yuku.com (Katewixen) — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 13:37:44 GMT

Hello to all Kate fans.
I am a 41 yr old Aussie gal who has adored Kate since age 13.
She is my muse when it comes to portrait painting and sketching. I cannot find a better face than hers.
Her music takes me to sublime places....as I am sure many of you might have experienced also.
I find Kate to be endlessly fascinating and she has kept me company throughout most of my life.
It's good to be here.

Let me roll it to you...

Greetings Bushbabies. Kate is ten years younger than me. My era was Beatles, Stones, Who, Kinks, etc. But it all got a bit boring in the early 70s, I thought, and the dress sense was enough to put anyone off. I was watching a programme about Glam Rock recently, and Suzi Quatro was reminiscing about someone in Slade (I think it was) who got injured as a result of - as she put it - "falling off his shoes". That wouldn't happen now, but in those days "platforms" were more...
