Around the same time that he was helping shape U2’s destiny, he began working with a band he thought was going to become massive. Minor Detail had signed a huge record deal and US executives were flying across the Atlantic by Concorde to see them at Windmill Lane. British music icon Kate Bush celebrated her birthday at the weekend. Thanks to the most recent season of Stranger Things, the singer songwriter is having a resurgence – what a birthday present. With her legendary 80s song, Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God), hitting the top of the charts just about everyone is Kate obsessed again and we love it. While the scene may play as emotional and romantic, the story behind getting Stede’s mermaid look from Australia to New Zealand was actually quite comical. “[Egan] sliced two suitcases in half, filled [them with the mermaid tail], and then when it went through customs, the customs guy said to her, ‘Are you bringing fish into this country?’ And she’s like, ‘Yes, yes I am.'” The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge meet members of the public after visiting Abergavenny Market to see first-hand how important local suppliers are to rural communities and to mark St David’s Day.,Image: 665698844, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: , Model Release: no, Credit line: JULES ANNAN / Avalon

Kate Bush – Iconic Looks

There’s a great line in the book that succinctly describes such moments, which have littered the music industry: “The flavour of this moment becomes the flavour of last month.” It wasn’t all bad news for Minor Detail’s John Hughes — he went on to manage The Corrs.

On The Dreaming Bush envisaged combining these twin elements, applying a wide, wild palette of sounds to a foundation of hard rhythm. She abandoned the standard band-in-a-room approach and instead embarked on something more layered and opaque. She mic’ed up 12-foot long strips of corrugated iron to evoke the sound of cannons, or fed guitars through banks of harmonisers and reverb plates, sending the notes leaping up in octaves. Hugh Padgham, the producer credited with creating the gated drum sound, engineered the album’s early stages. “I couldn’t bear it after a bit, actually,” he says. “She didn’t really have any idea of the sonics and didn’t understand why, if you put 150 layers of things all together, you couldn’t hear all of them. She didn’t really want to listen. As far as I was concerned, when we were doing those sessions it sounded shit. It pissed me off, actually.” The only other of Kate’s songs to hit number one along with Running Up That Hill, the video boasts an aesthetic that can be described today as fairycore, whilst Kate makes it appear effortless. She has an incredible, innate sense of what works for a song. She has an extremely clear impression of the atmosphere she wants to create, but how she achieves that involves experimentation. On Hounds Of Love we were using Fairlight and Linn drums a lot, and they’d come out with these funny little sounds which you might think weren’t very interesting, and she’d say, ‘Isn’t that wonderful? Isn’t that great?’ She’d make it great, and that’s the mark of a genius. She’d have a little kernel of an idea that would develop into a huge blossom. A very curious spirit, she wanted to find out about things, she was questing all the time.” Unlike many classic albums, though, Hounds Of Love is much more than a historical document. At a time when everyone seems desperate to show their hand, the innate sense of mystery feels more powerful and relevant than ever. A fiver says Joanna Newsom has studied the way in which it leads the listener into a mythical, self-contained world, while the mixture of its flat, futuristic samples, pagan symbolism and ancient, pounding rhythm echoes through the work of Fever Ray, Natasha Khan and Florence Welch. Indeed Bush has had an influence on almost every notable female artist of the past three decades, each indebted to her insistence on maintaining control, her boundless imagination, her determination to transcend accepted notions of femininity in both song and appearance. The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever - which honours the song and the singer - started in 2013 with Shambush! in Brighton, which attempted to set a world record for the highest number of people dressed as Kate Bush in one place.

In a tweet, ITV’s Chris Ship explained that the family does have a bit of discretion when it comes to speaking out. “The Royal Family is duty-bound to be impartial and rarely criticizes individual leaders so this is quite something,” he said. “But they can tell the difference between right and wrong.”
