Under the Ivy: The Life and Music of Kate Bush by Graeme Thomson

Under the Ivy: The Life and Music of Kate Bush by Graeme Thomson

The first ever in-depth study of Kate Bush's life and career, Under The Ivy features over 70 unique and revealing new interviews with those who have viewed from up close both the public artist and the private woman: old school friends, early band mates, long-term studio collaborators, former managers, producers, musicians, video directors, dance instructors and record company executives. It undertakes a full analysis of Bush's art. Every crucial aspect of her music is discussed from her ground-breaking series of albums to her solo live tour, her pre-teen poetry and scores of unreleased songs. Combining a wealth of new research with rigorous critical scrutiny, Under the Ivy offers a string of fresh insights and perspectives on her unusual upbringing in South London, the blossoming of her talent, her enduring influences and unique working methods, her rejection of live performance, her pioneering use of the studio, her key relationships and her gradual retreat into a semi-mythical privacy.

' - respectful, fascinating and full of insightIn the absence of any official book, devotees should lap it up.' Q **** 'Mapping a path through the life of this enigmatic songwriter is not easy but Graeme Thomson's superb book manages to do just that.' MOJO
