Kate Bush
Peter Silverton, Sounds, 30 September 1978
AN HOUR or so in the company of Kate Bush is rather like being trapped for the duration as an unwitting participant in a very wholesome kids' TV show with definite but unwarranted intellectual aspirations. Blue Peter meets Tomorrow's World maybe. Pleasant, charming even, and certainly nice but ultimately insipid to the point of unreality.
