The Kate Bush Fan Podcast

Seán introduces our first episode of 2026! Following on from their recent countdown from No. 20-11, Paul and Darrell now share each of their Top 10 Kate songs. There are a few surprises along the way! Did they miss out some of your favourites?

Happy Christmas! Seán introduces a fun episode in which Paul and Darrell share each of their top 20 Kate Bush song lists. This is part 1 where they count down from number 20 to 11, without knowing what each other's choices are! They are surprisingly quite different, and they explain why they chose each song. Wishing all our listeners a lovely Christmas and a wonderful, peaceful New Year in 2026!

As we continue to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Hounds of Love album by Kate Bush, Darrell and Paul from Bush Telegraph (and Seán in Dublin from Kate Bush News!) discuss Kate's incredible music videos from The Hounds of Love album.

As part of our celebrations of 40 years of Hounds of Love, Darrell and Paul (Bush Telegraph) reminisce about the release of Kate's album in 1985!

Richard Ames, tour manager for Kate's Tour of Life in 1979 chats with Darrell from Bush Telegraph. Richard's professional and personable qualities were always sought after by many leading bands and musicians, including Fleetwood Mac, Paul McCartney and Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel to name just a few. He talks about his work with Kate and the process of how the tour all came together, from meeting with Kate and her family at East Wickham Farm to the heady days of the rehearsals and sold out performances. We also get a glimpse of the genius of Kate's creative mind and artistry as we go behind the scenes of this once-in-a-lifetime tour, when she was still only 20 years old. With the highs also came the lows, and Richard talks about the devastating loss of lighting engineer, Bill Duffield on the first leg of the tour in Poole, Dorset. Outside of this tragic story, there are still many other stories and experiences that will bring a smile to your face. Let's go back to 1979, and see the young Kate at work on stage...
