| | |
| Bush attended St Joseph's Convent Grammar School (later the St Joseph's campus of [[Bexley College]]) and a Catholic girls' school on Woolwich Road in [[Abbey Wood]], London, in the mid-1970s. During this time her family produced a demo tape with over 50 of her compositions, which was turned down by record labels. [[David Gilmour]] of [[Pink Floyd]] received the demo from Ricky Hopper, a mutual friend of Gilmour and the Bush family. Impressed with what he heard, Gilmour helped the sixteen-year-old Bush get a more professional-sounding demo tape recorded that would be more saleable to the record companies.<ref name="NStatesman">{{cite news |last = Cowley |first = Jason |title = The Wow Factor |work=New Statesman |date=7 February 2005}}</ref> Three tracks in total were recorded and paid for by Gilmour.<ref name=stone/ref>[[Rolling Stone]] magazine, 8 February 1990, pp 21–2: "The Sensual Woman" by Sheila Rogers.</ref> The tape was produced by Gilmour's friend [[Andrew Powell]], who would go on to produce Bush's first two albums,<ref name="rebel"/> and sound engineer [[Geoff Emerick]].<ref>{{cite journal |title=The Rightful Heir?| work=Q |number= 48 |date=September 1990}}</ref> The tape was sent to [[EMI]] executive Terry Slater.<ref name=Soundscape/> Slater was impressed by the tape and signed her.<ref name="EMI">{{cite web |title = Kate Bush |publisher=EMI|url = http://www.emi-premier.co.uk/loader.html |accessdate =3 April 2007 }}</ref> The British record industry was reaching a point of stagnation.<ref name=Soundscape>{{cite journal |url=http://www.icce.rug.nl/~soundscapes/DATABASES/TRA/Kate_Bush.shtml |title=Kate Bush: Enigmatic chanteuse as pop pioneer |last=Kruse |first=Holly |date=November 2000 |journal=Soundscapes.info, Online Journal on Media Culture|volume=3 |issn=1567-7745 |accessdate=7 May 2009 }}, Originally published in {{cite journal|title=Tracking: Popular Music Studies |year=1988|volume=1 |issue=1}}</ref> [[Progressive rock]] was very popular and visually oriented rock performers were growing in popularity, thus record labels looking for the next big thing were considering experimental acts.<ref name=Soundscape/>

| | |
| Bush was put on retainer for two years by Bob Mercer, managing director of EMI group-repertoire division. According to Mercer he felt Bush's material was good enough to be released but felt that if the album failed it would be demoralising and if it was successful Bush was too young to handle it.<ref name=Mercer>[http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=UyFOAAAAIBAJ&sjid=QRMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6211,4646428&dq=kate-bush&hl=en Kate Bush: hot new act fuses music, theater Rolling Stone reprinted by Wilmingtom Morning Star 21 September 1979].

| |
| As part of her preparation for entering the studio, Bush toured pubs with the KT Bush Band. However, for her début album ''[[The Kick Inside]]'' (1978) she was persuaded to use established session musicians, some of whom she would retain even after she had brought her bandmates back on board.<ref name="lyricsystem.com">{{cite web |title = Kate Bush Biography |publisher=Lyricsystem.com|url = http://www.lyricsystem.com/kate-bush/ |accessdate =22 April 2007 }}</ref> Her brother Paddy played the harmonica and mandolin, unlike on later albums where he would play more exotic instruments such as the [[balalaika]] and [[didgeridoo]]. [[Stuart Elliott (drummer)|Stuart Elliott]] played some of the drums and would become her main percussionist on subsequent albums.<ref name="Lyricbooks">{{cite book |title = Lyrics booklets from Kate Bush's albums|publisher=EMI }}</ref>
| |
| | |
| Bush released ''The Kick Inside'' when she was 19 years old, but some of the songs had been written when she was as young as 13. EMI originally wanted the more rock-oriented track "James and the Cold Gun" to be her début single, but Bush insisted that it should be "[[Wuthering Heights (song)|Wuthering Heights]]". Even at this early stage of her career, she had gained a reputation for her determination to have a say in decisions affecting her work.<ref name="rebel"/> "Wuthering Heights" topped the UK and Australian charts and became an international hit.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.theofficialcharts.com/artist/_/kate%20bush/#singles |title=Kate Bush in the UK singles charts |work=The Official Charts |accessdate=21 January 2012}}</ref> Bush became the first woman to reach number one in the UK charts with a self-penned song.<ref name="GuardianProfile">{{cite news|last = Barkham |first = Patrick|title = Guardian profile: Kate Bush|url = http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,,1581815,00.html|work=The Guardian |date=30 September 2005|accessdate =10 September 2007|location=London}}</ref> A second single, "The Man with the Child in His Eyes", reached number six in the UK charts.<ref name="songfacts.com">{{cite web |title = The Man with the Child in His Eyes |publisher=Songfacts.com|url = http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=4831 |accessdate =22 April 2007 }}</ref> It also made it onto the American [[Billboard Hot 100]] where it reached number 85 in early 1979. Bob Mercer felt that Bush's relative lack of success in the United States compared to the rest of the world was due to her music being a poor fit for American radio formats and that there were no outlets for the visual presentation central to Bush's appeal.<ref name=Mercer/> "The Man with the Child in His Eyes" went on to win her an [[Ivor Novello Award]] in 1979 for Outstanding British Lyric.<ref>{{cite news|title = Awards Database|publisher=The Envelope|url = http://theenvelope.latimes.com |accessdate =3 April 2007 }}</ref>
| |
| | |
| EMI capitalised on Bush's appearance by promoting the album with a poster of her in a tight pink top that emphasised her breasts. In an interview with ''[[NME]]'' magazine in 1982, Bush criticised the marketing technique, stating: "People weren't even generally aware that I wrote my own songs or played the piano. The media just promoted me as a female body. It's like I've had to prove that I'm an artist in a female body."<ref name="rebel"/> In late 1978, EMI persuaded Bush to quickly record a follow-up album, ''[[Lionheart (Kate Bush album)|Lionheart]]'', to take advantage of the success of ''The Kick Inside''. Bush has often expressed dissatisfaction with ''Lionheart'', feeling that she had needed more time to get it right. The album was produced by Andrew Powell, assisted by Bush. While it had spawned several hit singles, most notably "[[Wow (Kate Bush song)|Wow]]", it did not garner the same reception as her first album, reaching number six in the UK album charts.<ref name="WholeStory">{{cite book |title = The Whole Story album lyrics booklet |publisher=EMI |year=1986 }}</ref>
| |
| | |
| Bush was displeased with being rushed into making the second album. She set up her own publishing company, Kate Bush Music, and her own management company, Novercia, to maintain complete control over her work. Members of her family, along with Bush herself, composed the company's board of directors.<ref name="rebel"/> Following the album's release, she was required by EMI to undertake heavy promotional work and an exhausting tour, the only one of her career.<ref>{{cite news|title=Stand By Your Mantra |work=Classic Rock |year=2004}}</ref> The tour, named [[The Tour of Life]], began in April 1979 and lasted six weeks.

Because of her intention to dance as she sang, her sound engineers used a wire coat hanger and a [[Wireless microphone|radio microphone]] to fashion the first headset microphone to be used by a rock performer since the Swedish group [[Spotnicks]] used a very primitive version in the early 1960s.<ref name=Allmusicbio/><ref>{{cite news| last=Badhorn|first=Philippe|title=Interview in Rolling Stone (France)|work=Rolling Stone |date=February 2006}}</ref>

| | |
| ===''Never for Ever'' and ''The Dreaming''===
| |
| Released in September 1980, ''[[Never for Ever]]'' saw Bush's second foray into production, co-producing with Jon Kelly. Her first time as a producer was on her ''[[On Stage (EP)|Live on Stage]]'' [[Extended play|EP]], released after her tour the previous year. The first two albums had resulted in a definitive sound evident in every track, with orchestral arrangements supporting the live band sound. The range of styles on ''Never for Ever'' is much more diverse, veering from the straightforward rocker "Violin" to the wistful waltz of hit single "[[Army Dreamers]]".
| |
| | |
| ''Never for Ever'' was the first Kate Bush album to feature synthesisers and drum machines, in particular the [[Fairlight CMI]], to which she was introduced when providing backing vocals on [[Peter Gabriel]]'s [[eponymous]] [[Peter Gabriel (1980 album)|third album]] in early 1980.<ref name="rebel"/> It was her first record to reach the top position in the UK album charts, also making her the first female British artist to achieve that status,<ref name="MightyB"/> and the first female artist ever to enter the album chart at the top.<ref name="chartstats.com"/> The top-selling single from the album was "[[Babooshka (song)|Babooshka]]", which reached number five in the UK singles chart.<ref>{{cite web |title = Kate Bush|publisher=UnderGroundOnline|url = http://www.ugo.com/channels/music/features/bandsondemand/artist.aspx?artist=katebush&cat=Alternative&full=Kate%20Bush |accessdate =27 July 2007 }}</ref> In November 1980, she released the standalone [[Christmas music|Christmas single]] "[[December Will Be Magic Again]]", which reached number 29 in the UK charts.

| "[[Sat in Your Lap]]" was the first single from the album to be released.

| Continuing in her storytelling tradition, Bush looked far outside her own personal experience for sources of inspiration. She drew on old crime films for "There Goes a Tenner", a documentary about the [[Vietnam War|war in Vietnam]] for "Pull Out the Pin", and the plight of [[Indigenous Australians]] for "The Dreaming". "Houdini" is about [[Harry Houdini|the magician]]'s death, and "Get Out of My House" was inspired by [[Stephen King]]'s novel ''[[The Shining (novel)|The Shining]]''.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Dreamtime Is Over |author=Simper, Paul |work=Melody Maker |date=16 October 1982}}</ref>

| ''[[Hounds of Love]]'' was released in 1985. Because of the high cost of hiring studio space for her previous album, she built a private studio near her home, where she could work at her own pace.<ref name="comeback">{{cite news|last = Ellen| first =Barbara| title = Comeback Kate|work=The Observer | url = http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,,1582789,00.html|date =2 October 2005| accessdate =4 April 2007|location=London}}</ref> ''Hounds of Love'' ultimately topped the charts in the UK, knocking [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]]'s ''[[Like a Virgin]]'' from the number one position.<ref>{{cite book |last = Fitzgerald Morris |first = Peter |title = Hounds of Love lyrics booklet |publisher=EMI |year=1997}}</ref>

| The album takes advantage of the vinyl and cassette formats with two very different sides. The first side, ''Hounds of Love'', contains five "accessible" pop songs, including the four singles "[[Running Up that Hill]]", "[[Cloudbusting]]", "[[Hounds of Love (song)|Hounds of Love]]", and [[The Big Sky (song)|"The Big Sky"]]. "Running Up that Hill" reached number 3 in the UK charts and also re-introduced Bush to American listeners, climbing to number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1985. The second side of the album, ''The Ninth Wave'', takes its name from [[Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson|Tennyson's]] poem, "Idylls of the King", about the legendary King Arthur's reign, and is seven interconnecting songs joined in one continuous piece of music.<ref>{{cite news |title = Kate Bush radio interview|publisher=Rock Over London with Paul Cooke |year=1985 }}</ref>
| |
| | |
| The album earned Bush nominations for Best Female Solo Artist, Best Album, Best Single, and Best Producer at the 1986 [[BRIT Awards]]. In the same year, Bush and [[Peter Gabriel]] had a UK top ten hit with the duet "[[Don't Give Up (Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush song)|Don't Give Up]]" ([[Dolly Parton]], Gabriel's original choice to sing the female vocal, turned his offer down),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nme.com/news/peter-gabriel/59311|title=Peter Gabriel: 'Kate Bush replaced Dolly Parton on 'Don't Give Up'' NME 19 September 2011|work=[[NME]]|date=19 September 2011|accessdate=16 January 2012}}</ref> and EMI released her "greatest hits" album, ''[[The Whole Story]]''. Bush provided a new lead vocal and refreshed backing track on "Wuthering Heights," and recorded a new single, "[[Experiment IV]]," for inclusion on the compilation. At the 1987 BRIT Awards, Bush won the award for Best Female Solo Artist.

| The increasingly personal tone of her writing continued on 1989's ''[[The Sensual World]]''. One of the quirkiest tracks on the album, touched by Bush's [[black humour]], is "Heads We're Dancing", about a woman who dances all night with a charming stranger only to discover in the morning that he is [[Adolf Hitler]].<ref name=Telegraphdream/> The [[The Sensual World (song)|title track]] drew its inspiration from [[James Joyce]]'s novel ''[[Ulysses (novel)|Ulysses]]''.<ref name=Telegraphdream>{{cite web |title = Kate Bush's dream world|work=The Telegraph|url = http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=2fYlAAAAIBAJ&sjid=TfwFAAAAIBAJ&pg=7016,7079481&dq=hitler+heads-we-re-dancing+kate-bush&hl=en|date = 26 November 1989|accessdate =21 November 2010 }}</ref>

| Bush's seventh studio album, ''[[The Red Shoes (album)|The Red Shoes]]'', was released in November 1993. The album features more high-profile cameo appearances than her previous efforts, including contributions from composer and conductor [[Michael Kamen]], comedy actor [[Lenny Henry]], [[Prince (musician)|Prince]], [[Eric Clapton]], [[Gary Brooker]] of [[Procol Harum]], Trevor Whittaker, and [[Jeff Beck]]. Both ''The Sensual World'' and ''The Red Shoes'' featured contributions from [[Trio Bulgarka]], the Bulgarian female vocal trio who sang on several tracks including "You're The One" and "Rocket's Tail". The album gave Bush her highest chart position in the US, reaching number 28, although the only song from the album to make the US singles chart was "Rubberband Girl", which peaked at number 88 in January 1994. In the UK, the album reached number two, and the singles "Rubberband Girl", "The Red Shoes", "Moments of Pleasure", and "And So Is Love" all reached the top 30.<ref name=OfficialCharts/><ref name="softpedia.com">{{cite web |title = Back On Stage After 12 Years |publisher=Softpedia.com|url = http://news.softpedia.com/news/Kate-Bush-Back-On-Stage-After-12-Years-7653.shtml |accessdate =23 April 2007 }}</ref> In 1994, Bush released an accompanying short film, ''[[The Line, the Cross & the Curve]]''.

| | |
| The initial plan had been to take the songs out on the road, but no new tour transpired. Thus, Bush deliberately aimed for a live-band feel, with less of the studio trickery that had typified her last three albums and which would have been too difficult to re-create on stage.<ref name="Future">{{cite news |title = Well red |work=Future Music |date=November 1993}}</ref> The result alienated some of her fan base, who had enjoyed the intricacy of her earlier compositions,<ref name="Orlando">{{cite news |last = Gettelman|first = Parry|title = The Red Shoes review |work=The Orlando Sentinel |year=1993}}</ref> but others found a new complexity in the lyrics and the emotions they expressed.<ref name="request">{{cite news |title = The Red Shoes review |work=Request |date=November 1993}}</ref>

| This period had been a troubled time for Bush. She had suffered a series of bereavements, including the loss of guitarist [[Alan Murphy]], who had started working with her on The Tour of Life in 1979, and her mother Hannah, to whom she was exceptionally close.<ref name="MightyB"/> Many of the people she lost are honoured in the ballad "Moments of Pleasure." However, Bush's mother was still alive when "Moments of Pleasure" was written and recorded. Bush describes playing the song to her mother, who thought the line where she is quoted by Bush as saying, "Every old sock meets an old shoe," was hilarious and "couldn't stop laughing."<ref name=Home>{{cite web|title=Interview with Ken Bruce on Radio 2 09 May 2011|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00gtnyf|work=Radio 2|accessdate=9 May 2011}}</ref>

| As on ''Hounds of Love'' (1985), the album is divided into two sections, each with its own theme and mood.<ref name="pi"/> The first disc, subtitled ''A Sea of Honey'', features a set of unrelated themed songs, including "King of the Mountain"; "Bertie", a Renaissance-style ode to her son; and "Joanni", based on the story of [[Joan of Arc]]. In the song "<math>\pi</math>", Bush sings 117 digits of the mathematical value of [[Pi|the number Pi]],<ref name="pi"/><ref name="BThompson">{{cite news |last =Thompson| first =Ben| title = Ben Thompson reviews an album of two halves |work=Sunday Telegraph|date = 5 November 2006 }}</ref> but misses 22 digits from the 80th to the 101st place of the actual value of Pi. The second disc, subtitled ''A Sky of Honey'', features one continuous piece of music describing the experience of being outdoors after waking at dawn, moving through afternoon, dusk, to night, then back to the following dawn of single summer's day. All the pieces in this suite refer or allude to sky and sea in their lyrical content. Bush mixed her voice with cooing woodpigeons to repeat the phrases "A sea of honey, a sky of honey," and "You're full of beauty" throughout the piece, and uses recordings of actual birdsong throughout. ''A Sky of Honey'' features [[Rolf Harris]] playing the [[didgeridoo]] on one track, and providing vocals on "The Painter's Link".<ref name="pi">{{cite news |last =Thrills| first =Adrian| title = Is this great Kate—or just Pi in the sky? |work=Daily Mail |url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-138325566.html| date = 4 November 2006}}</ref> Other artists making guest appearances on the album include [[Peter Erskine]], [[Eberhard Weber]], [[Lol Creme]], and Gary Brooker.

All the tracks have new lead vocals, new drums, and radically reworked instrumentation. Some of them have been transposed to a lower key to accommodate her lowering voice.

| Bush turned down an invitation by the organizers of the [[2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony]] to perform at the event. Instead a recording of a new remix of her 1985 hit "Running Up that Hill" was played at the end of the ceremony.<ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/aug/13/david-bowie-olympics-closing-ceremony David Bowie among UK stars who turned down Olympic closing show The Guardian 12 August 2012]</ref> The remix which was released on 12 August 2012 was based on the 1985 12" single remix, has new lead vocals and was [[Transposition (music)|transposed]] down a [[semitone]] to fit Bush's current lower vocal range.

| ==Musical style==
| |
| Bush has a [[soprano]] vocal range.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2005-11-17-kate-bush_x.htm | work=USA Today | first1=Elysa | last1=Gardner | title=Kate Bush picks it up in 'Aerial' | date=17 November 2005}}</ref> Her music is eclectic, varying styles even within an album. Her songs span genres as diverse as rock, pop, [[alternative rock|alternative]] and [[art rock]].<ref name=Allmusicbio/> Even in her earliest works where the piano was a primary instrument, she wove together many diverse influences, combining classical music, rock, and a wide range of ethnic and folk sources, and this has continued throughout her career.
| |
| | |
| In an interview with ''[[Melody Maker]]'' magazine in 1977, she revealed that male artists had more influence on her work than females, stating: "Every female you see at a piano is either [[Lynsey de Paul]], or [[Carole King]]. And most male music—not all of it but the good stuff—really lays it on you. It really puts you against the wall and that's what I like to do. I'd like my music to intrude. Not many females succeed with that."<ref name="rebel"/>
| |
| | |
| The experimental nature of her music has led it to be described as a later, more technological, and more accessible manifestation of the British [[progressive rock]] movement.<ref name=Soundscape/><ref name="Englishness"/> Southern England was the home to the most influential and successful acts of the progressive rock movement and,<ref name="Englishness"/> like other artists in this genre, Bush rejects the classic American style of making pop music, which was adopted by most UK pop artists. Bush's vocals contain elements of British, [[Anglo-Irish]] and most prominently (southern) English accents and, in its utilisation of musical instruments from many periods and cultures, her music has differed from American pop norms.<ref name="Englishness"/> Elements of Bush's lyrics tend to be more unusual and less clichéd than American-style pop lyrics, often employing historical or literary references and avoiding autobiographical lyrics. She considers herself a storyteller who embodies the character singing the song and strenuously rejects efforts by others to insist that her songs are autobiographical.<ref name="Englishness">{{cite web|last =Moy|first =Ron| title = Kate Bush and mythologies of Englishness|publisher=Popular Musicology Online| url = http://www.popular-musicology-online.com/issues/02/moy-01.html| year =2006| accessdate =6 April 2007 }}</ref><ref name=Radio4052011>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-13281337 Kate Bush admits frustration over time between albums].

| Reviewers have used the term "surreal" to describe her music.<ref>{{cite journal |title=The Unique Poetry Of Kate Bush |work=Hi-Fi & Record Review |first=Sue|last= Hudson |date= December 1985}}</ref> Many of her songs have a melodramatic emotional and musical surrealism that defies easy categorisation.<ref name="hifi">{{cite news|last = Hudson| first =Sue| title = The Back Page|work=Hi-Fi and Record Review}}</ref> It has been observed that even the more joyous pieces are often tinged with traces of melancholy, and even the most sorrowful pieces have elements of vitality struggling against all that would oppress them.<ref name="spin">{{cite news|last = Davis| first =Erik| title = Red Shoes review|work=Spin |year=1993 }}</ref>

| Her lyrics have referenced a wide array of subject matter, often relatively obscure, as in [[G. I. Gurdjieff]] in the song "Them Heavy People", while "Deeper Understanding", from ''The Sensual World'', portrays a person who stays indoors, obsessively talking to a computer and shunning human contact. "Cloudbusting" was inspired by Peter Reich's autobiography, "Book of Dreams", about his relationship with his father, [[Wilhelm Reich]]. In a retrospective review of "Cloudbusting", ''[[Allmusic]]'' journalist Amy Hanson praised the song for "the rich earth of imagery that Bush has tilled throughout her entire career, emerging both tender and brutal." Commending the song for having "a thoughtful lyric and a compulsive cello-driven melody", Hanson wrote: "Even more startling, but hardly surprising, is the ease with which Bush was able to capture the moment when a child first realizes that adults are fallible and the parental cocoon is tenuous at best."<ref>{{cite web|last=Hanson |first=Amy |url=http://www.allmusic.com/song/cloudbusting-mt0003655152 |title=Cloudbusting - Kate Bush : Listen, Appearances, Song Review |publisher=AllMusic |accessdate=9 November 2012}}</ref>

| Comedy is also a big influence on her and is a significant component of her work. She has cited [[Woody Allen]],<ref name="realm">{{cite news |last=Brown |first=Len |title=In the Realm of the Senses |work=New Musical Express |date=7 October 1989}}</ref> ''[[Monty Python]]'', ''[[Fawlty Towers]]'', and ''[[The Young Ones (TV series)|The Young Ones]]''<ref name="littlemiss"/> as particular favourites. Horror movies are another interest of Bush's and have influenced the [[gothic rock|gothic]] nature of several of her songs, such as "Hounds of Love", inspired by the 1957 horror movie ''[[Night of the Demon]]''.<ref name="Qsleeve">{{cite news |last=Sutcliffe |first=Phil |title=Hounds of Love Sleeve Notes |work=Q magazine |date=June 1991}}</ref> Her songs have occasionally combined comedy and horror to form dark humour, such as murder by poisoning in "Coffee Homeground", an alcoholic mother in "Ran Tan Waltz" and the upbeat "The Wedding List", a song inspired by [[François Truffaut]]'s 1967 film of Cornell Woolrich's ''[[The Bride Wore Black]]'' about the death of a groom and the bride's subsequent revenge against the killer.<ref name=kbwl>{{cite journal |author=Irwin, Colin |title=Paranoia and Passion of the Kate Inside |work=Melody Maker |date= 10 October 1980}}</ref>

| == Length of time between albums and perception of perfectionism ==
| |
| The length of time between album releases has led to rumours in the media concerning her health or appearance.<ref name="littlemiss">{{cite news |title = Little Miss Can't Be Wrong |work=Q magazine |date=December 1993}}</ref> In the past, stories of weight gain or mental instability have been disproved by Bush's periodic reappearance.<ref>{{cite news|last=Ziegler|first=Mollie|title=The Return of a Sultry Songstress |work=The New York Sun|date=8 November 2005 }}</ref> In 2011 Bush told [[BBC Radio 4]] that the amount of time between album releases is extremely stressful noting: "It's very frustrating the albums take as long as they do ... I wish there weren't such big gaps between them." In the same interview Bush denied she was a perfectionist in the studio, saying: "I think it's important that things are flawed ... That's what makes a piece of art interesting sometimes – the bit that's wrong or the mistake you've made that's led onto an idea you wouldn't have had otherwise," and reiterated her prioritisation of her family life.<ref name="Radio4052011"/>

| ==Live performances==
| |
| {{Further|The Tour of Life}}
| |
| Bush's only tour took place 2 April – 13 May 1979, after which she has given only the occasional live performance. Several reasons have been suggested as to why she abandoned touring, among them her reputed need to be in total control of the final product, which is incompatible with live stage performance, a rumour of a crippling fear of flying,<ref name="Network">{{cite news |last = Littlejohn|first = Maureen |title = The Sensual Woman |work=Network |date=March 1990}}</ref> and the suggestion that the death of 21-year-old Bill Duffield severely affected her. Duffield, her lighting director, was killed in an accident during her 2 April 1979 concert at Poole Arts Centre. Bush held a benefit concert on 12 May 1979, with [[Peter Gabriel]] and [[Steve Harley]] at London's [[Hammersmith Apollo|Hammersmith Odeon]] for his family. Duffield would be honoured in two later songs: "Blow Away" on ''Never for Ever'' and "Moments of Pleasure" on ''The Red Shoes''. Bush explained in a [[BBC Radio 2]] interview with [[Mark Radcliffe]] that she actually enjoyed the tour but was consumed with producing her subsequent records. A BBC film crew followed the preparation for the tour which was shown on the BBC Nationwide program as a 30-minute special.
| |
| | |
| During the same period as her tour, she made numerous television appearances around the world, including ''[[Top of the Pops]]'' in the United Kingdom, ''Bios Bahnhof'' in Germany, and ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' in the United States (with [[Paul Shaffer]] on piano).<ref name="smiles">{{cite news|last=Gambaccini|first=Paul|title=Kate Bush Smiles in Her New Red Shoes|work=New York Press|date=24 November 1993}}</ref> On 28 December 1979, BBC TV aired the ''Kate Bush Christmas Special''. It was recorded in October 1979 at the BBC Studios in Birmingham, England; choreography by [[Anthony Van Laast]].<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1427061/fullcredits#cast "Kate Bush Christmas Special"] Cast and Crew at IMDb</ref> As well as playing songs from her first two albums, she played "[[December Will Be Magic Again]]", and "Violin" from her forthcoming album, ''Never for Ever''. Peter Gabriel made a guest appearance to play "Here Comes the Flood", and a duet of [[Roy Harper]]'s "[[Another Day (Roy Harper song)|Another Day]]" with Bush.<ref name="BBC Christmas Special 1979">{{cite web| title = Kate Bush – BBC Christmas Special 1979|url =http://gaffa.org/passing/v79_dec.html| accessdate =6 June 2008 }}</ref>

| | |
| After the Tour of Life Bush desired to make two more albums before touring again. At that point she got involved with production techniques and sound experimentation that took up a lot of time and prevented her from touring. Later on there were a couple of instances where she came close to touring again.<ref name=ClassicRockMagazine>"Kate Bush – The reclusive first lady of art rock: when she's not admiring John Lydon, she's pestering the Queen", ''[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]]'', Issue 160</ref>

| In 1982, Bush participated in the first benefit concert in aid of [[The Prince's Trust]] alongside artists such as [[Madness (band)|Madness]], [[Midge Ure]], [[Phil Collins]], [[Mick Karn]] and [[Pete Townshend]]. On 25 April 1986 Bush performed live for British charity event [[Comic Relief]], singing "Do Bears... ?", a humorous duet with [[Rowan Atkinson]], and a rendition of "Breathing". On 28 June 1987, she made a guest appearance to duet with Peter Gabriel on "[[Don't Give Up (Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush song)|Don't Give Up]]" at Earl's Court, London as part of his "So" tour. In March 1987, Bush sang "Running Up that Hill" at [[The Secret Policeman's Balls|The Secret Policeman's Third Ball]] accompanied by [[David Gilmour]].

| | |
| On 17 January 2002, Bush appeared with her long-time champion, David Gilmour, singing the part of the doctor in "[[Comfortably Numb]]" at the [[Royal Festival Hall]] in London.

| In 1993, she directed and starred in the short film, ''[[The Line, the Cross & the Curve]]'', a musical co-starring Miranda Richardson, featuring music from Bush's album ''The Red Shoes'', which was inspired by the classic movie [[The Red Shoes (1948 film)|of the same name]]. It was released on VHS in the UK in 1994 and also received a small number of cinema screenings around the world. In recent interviews, Bush has said that she considers it a failure, and stated in 2001: "I'm very pleased with four minutes of it, but I'm very disappointed with the rest."<ref>{{cite journal |author=Aizlewood, John |title = The Big Sleep |work=Q magazine |date = December 2001 }}</ref> In a 2005 interview, she described the film as "A load of bollocks."<ref>Mojo Magazine, page 81, October 2005 edition</ref>

| |
| In 1990, Bush starred in the [[black comedy]] film ''Les Dogs'', produced by ''[[The Comic Strip]]'' for [[BBC television]]. Aired on 8 March 1990, Bush plays the bride Angela at a wedding set in a post-apocalyptic version of Britain. While Bush's is a silent presence in a wedding dress throughout most of the film, she does have several lines of dialogue with [[Peter Richardson (actor)|Peter Richardson]] in two dream sequences. In another ''Comic Strip Presents'' film, ''GLC'', she produced the theme song "Ken", which includes a vocal performance by Bush. The song was written about [[Ken Livingstone]], the leader of the [[Greater London Council]], who would later be elected as mayor of London and at the time was working with musicians to help the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] garner the youth vote.<ref>[http://thequietus.com/articles/04999-ken-livingstone-interview-music-politics Ken Livingstone Interviewed: Boris, The Other Boris, Music, Politics & London].

| She also produced all the incidental music, which is synthesiser based.

| Bush declined a request by [[Erasure]] to produce one of their albums because "she didn't feel that that was her area".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thequietus.com/articles/01240-erasure-wanted-to-work-with-kate-bush |title=Erasure & Kate Bush: The Lost Collaboration The Quietus 4 March 2009 |publisher=Thequietus.com |accessdate=29 May 2010}}</ref>

| In 2010, Bush provided vocals for Rolf Harris's cover of the traditional Irish song "[[She Moves Through the Fair]]".
