Running Up That Hill by Tom Doyle

'Probably the best Bush book to date.' - Record Collector Kate Bush: the subject of murmured legend and one of the most idiosyncratic musicians of the modern era. Comprising fifty chapters or 'visions', Running Up That Hill is a multi-faceted biography of this famously elusive figure, viewing her life and work from fresh and illuminating angles. Featuring details from the author's one-to-one conversations with Kate, as well as vignettes of her key songs, albums, videos and concerts, this artful, candid and often brutally funny portrait introduces the reader to the refreshingly real Kate Bush. Along the way, the narrative also includes vivid reconstructions of transformative moments in her career and insights from the friends and collaborators closest to Kate, including her photographer brother John Carder Bush and fellow artists David Gilmour, John Lydon and Youth. Running Up That Hill is a vibrant and comprehensive re-examination of Kate Bush and her many creative landmarks.
Tom Doyle is the author of four highly acclaimed books: The Glamour Chase: The Maverick Life of Billy Mackenzie; Man on the Run: Paul McCartney in the 1970s; Captain Fantastic: Elton John's Stellar Trip Through The '70s; and Running up That Hill: 50 Visions of Kate Bush. As a journalist and interviewer, his work has appeared in Mojo, Billboard, Q, Sound on Sound, the Guardian and The Times. Over the years, he has profiled Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Elton John, U2, Madonna, Keith Richards, Yoko Ono and Kate Bush, among many others.
