Kate Bush interview, Ireland 1978

[@Yungkingstonn]

Kate has always been such an amazing woman, never has been interested in the fame or fortune, she genuinely just has a passion and love for making good music.

[@richalderson6069]

Kate is rare combination of absolute sweetness and absolute coolness.

[@unavailable2204]

along with steely determination and the courage of her convictions.

[@maxcrc]

she's an angel.

[@finolaomurchu8217]

Kate Bush is just beautiful, probably my favourite female singer. "Army Dreamers" "Babooshka" "Delius the God of the Summer" running up that hill is making a comeback some current filmmakers are using it. I always thought she had a granny from Howth, plenty to talk about there with Gay.☘💚🇮🇪🧚‍♂️

[@ShineNoelA]

I remember watching this on my grannie's tv in Glenquin, County Limerick and have loved Kate's singing ever since. Gaybo was clearly besotted with her also. Thanks for posting this here.

[@barryb90]

Amazing how she's come back into the charts after 37 years because of Stranger Things.

[@Vigilante311]

Makes you wonder what other good old music kids would like if they just heard it

[@AB-kx4nc]

Gorgeous, lovely to listen to her talk

[@deirdremacnamara9885]

Only one word for this lady . AMAZING. She top of the charts again thanks to stranger things love her 💕

[@canaryinacoalmine7267]

She is just so lovely she breaks my heart

[@patrickkenny6806]

Kate Bush absolute legend…

[@Etcher]

What an absolute legend. Such poise, dignity and that voice - so iconic. Kate Bush is also wonderful.

[@mikebuckley6625]

Timeless beautiful vocals & music one amazing lady, always brings memories back 🙂💯

[@peterphosphate5436]

I would say Kate Bush was mature beyond her years and you could see she was interested in becoming a singer songwriter but the idea of being in “show business” appears alien to her. Did not realise how slight KB’s demeanour was until I saw her with Gaye Byrne. Was very canny about her Irish connection - interesting clip.

[@Lazyeyewitness]

Such a lovely woman. Most geniuses are quite awkward.

[@markofsaltburn]

I think Gay’s wandering eyes made her a bit awkward at the beginning. By the time he’d regained control of himself the damage was already done.

[@LovelyDay11]

Akward meaning authentic. Can’t and doesn’t want to put up a show like generally people do.

[@lordlucan7655]

Have You another set of songs ready ? Kate Bush : Hold my Guinness ......

[@Discover-Ireland]

I remember watching this and her name stuck in my head since

[@commoner5042]

It’s like he’s interviewing her for a cleaning job.

[@alanoneill3065]

he's a clown

[@johnmc3862]

He was wooden af sometimes.

[@Hawthorne-Studios]

To be fair compared to a few of the interviewers he's quite the gent.

[@itsallreal]

​@@johnmc3862 most interviewers of that era had a similar style imo.

[@athlone1975]

Gosh when the Late Late Show had a charismatic presenter. Delighted to see Kate Bush getting well deserved plaudits and being discovered by a new generation. Although she is back in public consciousness again through Running up that hill it's her extraordinary debut single Wuthering Heights which marked her out as a unique and specil talent. For the record her mother's maiden name was Daly.

[@vingotaq777]

I’m old enough to remember the Late Late Show in the Gay Byrne years and the wonderful guests he had on the show

[@stuartmiller9648]

Wow..Kate looks beautiful here,stunning!!

[@iseegoodandbad6758]

She looks and acted mature. Very unlike the younger people of nowadays!!!

[@YazorDavhkel]

Why ?

[@SH-tx9nm]

What a beautiful accent she has!

[@maxcrc]

It's a classic and pure English accent,without any dialectical tilt. Just perfect. But her angelical voice makes it sound even better.

[@Vigilante311]

She would definitely win the lovely girls competition

[@paddywic]

Kate Bush is a legend, genius, true artist and beautiful

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

What a beauty of heart, soul and mind. With Truckloads of talent also a very smart woman. A great shame that Kate and Phil Lynott had not teamed up and recorded a few songs, can you imagine those 2 most gifted and talented rockers working to gather, they would have been a perfect match and would have produced music that would have captured the world as their own music did.

[@shampistols69]

Very nice video, thanks.

[@stevenolove]

Genius

[@damienocallaghan2648]

John Lydon LOVES her He said so when they were at the same Awards show Years ago

[@andrewdavy9921]

John also has an Irish background, his parents

[@AnGhaeilge]

I think Kate's mam was from Stradbally in west Waterford.

[@g-dcomplex1609]

lovely soul 🤗

[@Heartwing37]

Kate Bush is everything!

[@Greenwillow]

Never liked Gay Byrne he always came across as arrogant. So glad to see Running up that Hill is no 1 this week.😡😉

[@markofsaltburn]

That was how presenters and continuity announcers tended to behave in the days before the media was taken over by overgrown teenagers throwing hip-hop hand gestures and asking everyone to “give it up now” every time someone came on stage.

[@edmundpower1250]

[@markofsaltburn]

@@edmundpower1250 Thanks. I’m not a nostalgic person, but some thing’s just do get worse.

[@edmundpower1250]

@@markofsaltburn True Mark. Wise men say nostalgia is just a thing of the past but I'm not so sure

[@Greenwillow]

@@markofsaltburn you should check out Dick Cavett here on You tube he knew how to interview people with good manners and no arrogance. Plus great interviews. As for hip hop interviewers thats the modern age for you.🤔

[@hillbillyjohn230]

Nice 👍

[@gerardjames9971]

I've seen this before as I love Kate Bush. Zero chemistry between her and Gay Byrne, cringefest tbh

[@jimmymcjimmyvich9052]

It wasn't a blind date))))

[@edmundpower1250]

That's a matter of opinion.. Its a brilliant interview

[@jamesgreenldn]

It was more like a teacher talking to his pupil 👩‍🎓

[@gerardjames9971]

So it's brilliant...In YOUR opinion. Well in mine it's fucking dreadful Edmund. I've watched countless interviews with Kate Bush and this one is the pits

[@Bootrosgali]

Checking out her cleavage definetly. And being a sexist monster talking about she could still be a dancer.

[@alanoneill3065]

Isn't that Henry Sellers?

[@alanoneill3065]

Kate is lovely ...Byrne is a clown

[@johntheball]

Her mother was a Power of lismore. Great GAA people two of the uncles played county in 53 and a sister went to canada and married a prodestant....

[@andrewdavy9921]

A prodestant?

[@daveleddy1539]

Thought it was dungarvan?

[@Etcher]

haha classic, the paddies always have to get in a little dig if there's any inter-faith marriage going down, even if it is to a 'prodestant' (whatever that is). Not even the mighty Kate Bush is immune 😂

[@MarcoSpeaksNadsat]

I'm not Irish and I never grew up with him but......I don't get Gay Byrne. Every interview I see him do is awkward. My favourite is the one with KLF and them burning a million quid lol.

[@lecliche8849]

Gay Byrne couldn’t help but be condescending.

[@bobcooter]

He's truly awful and an unfortunately common personality type in Ireland.

[@bobcooter]

Egged his gaf in Sutton on Halloween, somewhere around 96, the good times!

[@Hawthorne-Studios]

@@bobcooter Damn. What a shame.

[@adamtier3263]

That's not an interview it's a interrogation! Byrne had no finesse, only a pompous superiority complex!

[@TheIrishMegaphone]

Didn’t come across like that at all. Interviews in those days were conducted in a far more formal manner.

[@finnkdy]

One could easily adorn him with 100 expletives yet curse yourself for not including another half dozen that just slipped your mind. should you be a polyglot......

[@markofsaltburn]

No, it’s an interview, and he was trying to act like an adult instead of a fawning parasocial creep who still lives with his mum.

[@edmundpower1250]

You need to take a deep breath and breathe out all that hurt, anger and negativity before it does damage

[@adamtier3263]
