Nearing her 50th birthday, Kate Bush remains one of Britains most talented and beautiful artists yet possessed with rare intelligence and an enigmatic persona. Rising to fame at the tender age of 19 after a little help from Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmour, her eight albums have spanned twenty years and what she lacks in quantity is eclipsed by sheer quality.
Her music has a strong Piano based criteria, yet she has dipped her toe in Rock, Pop, Jazz, Folk as well as Neo-Classical and never sounds out of her depth. Her music has been described as the aural eqivalent of contemporary theatre and many of her lyrics have big themes and ideas yet there is always a touch of English melancholy that runs through her music that endears her to a wide range of genre fans.
Quixotic, sexual, heart wrenching, baroque and at times damn surreal. kate Bush is a true original and a highly influential artist who makes music by her own rules.
