Kate Bush as she was in 1979

Life of Kate

Local man Rob Janovic has written a book about Kate Bush. He talks to us about the life of pop's most reclusive artist.

On November 7th Rob Janovic's biography of Kate Bush was released on the same day as the singer's new album 'Aerials'.

Rob has spoken to people that have worked with Kate over the years but has never met the notoriously reclusive artist. Not many have and when they do her private life is strictly out of bounds.

The famous Wuthering Heights performance

He says, "As soon as you start talking about Kate Bush the actual person, the shutters go up and she'd give the interviewer an icy stare."

However he insists Kate Bush is "very unique and people have a fondness for her."

In a fascinating interview Rob talks to BBC Radio Nottingham's Alan Clifford about:-

Kate's early development

Her connection to Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd

Her private life

Why Kate Bush has been so successful

The gossip

Her albums
