Even while Kate’s working away in the studio the press mentions and articles keep coming. The March issue of Q Magazine features a two page “Eyewitness” account of how Kate developed her craft from July ’76 to January ’78, entitled “The Grooming Of Kate Bush”. It’s basically a series of old quotes from various interview sources which illustrate Kate’s early years with EMI etc…It’s in the shops in the UK & Ireland now. (thanks to Conor Farrell for this news).

Also another newsbit: Satellite/Cable music channel VH-1 in the UK/Europe on Wednesday 10th Feb from 1.00-1.30pm are showing the “Greatest Hits of Kate Bush”. (thanks to Jane Sagr for this one)
