[@leebennett2387]

She's so natural and unaffected and gorgeous I fancied her so much.Great seeing this,cheers!!

[@Chomin35]

She was almost a child for that time ! Amazing how sweet sounds on interviews and how strong-powerful on the stage. She is Great !

[@Stereostupid]

This chick is just the coolest most interesting person!super smart and extremely talented

[@hanghang71]

her talent,looks and speaking voice are so sensual

[@leannkaattari1647]

I never listened to anything of hers back in the day, but a few weeks ago, I saw her on an SNL repeat from '75. She did The Man With The Child in His Eyes, and I was amazed by her creativity and talent. I'm making up for lost time now, learning and listening to all I can from this ethereal lady.

[@edmundpower1250]

You must be delighted with her latest new found fame.

[@leannkaattari1647]

@@edmundpower1250 I’m so very happy to see it. As an American, I blame the radio stations for not picking up on her genius when they had the chance back then.

[@2009elbow]

Wow, I was in the audience for this. She was as gorgeous live as on photo. Simple Minds and Gun Club(?) were on the show.

[@kateprawn]

Fantastic!! An interview with KB I haven't seen before!!

[@annasumner]

she's perfect

[@misosoup35]

Young Kate, so cute... so innocent, who would think girls like that can write the music that she does.... Must be some kind of divine intervention! I agree Musical Goddess!

[@romane8655]

So innocent ? «He's too busy hitting the Vaseline»... 🙄 No, right, I love Kate.

[@welettheweirdnessin]

Not really. She wrote about @nal $3x, gay couples etc soo

[@Ravenoflight2275]

Lovely and Talented Kate Bush!

[@MALONEYCAMFIELD]

"Why did the great Bob Harris not do this?? he knew his stuff. And was not smug" Bob Harris was effectively fired from the Whistle Test in the late '70s because of his resistance to punk rock. He was replaced by Annie Nightingale for a few years, then these two came in, then Andy "professional music snob" Kershaw joined and it was cancelled quite soon after by Janet Street Porter.

[@stefanopaganini7503]

Very beatiful and sweet!

[@debiedog1]

I love her so much!!

[@si7438]

A rose between two weeds.

[@steenk9650]

As well as liking to play the didgeridoo, Rolf Harris is also fond of popping out said didgeridoo for a spot of kiddyfiddlydoo when it arises.

[@pinkbeatle2012]

😂😂😂

[@briansweeney5024]

That is very funny!!

[@boosh90]

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lovely

[@muhammadrashid1313]

such a sweet voice....sweet look

[@Retrotrials]

Kate is so intelligent and so clear thinking. Shes so smoothly spoken . She is true class and destined to doing well.

[@mrnatascorpus]

shes so gorgeous

[@zaran10]

I meet kate right after this interveiw and she asked could she use my taxi to get back to the train station she was so nice and small lol and her dancers who were with her were very sweet too...

[@knebworth1986]

I've seen some other interviews of Kate Bush. Most of them ask about boyfriends and how she does her hair and other bullshit like that. At least these guys were talking about the music, which is what she likes to talk about, so don't give them too hard a time. I do agree they were a bit ignorant about Rolf's talent though.

[@joesmith34]

@knebworth1986. You re right it s the same with Adele today. Adele just bought a house from Sylvester Stallone they would nt say how do you feel paying $60 mill. Rolf Harris? Nobody knew about his antics in those days.

[@SONGSTICKS]

@mermaidman1985 absolutely.. I love watching old grey whistles tests

[@Heartwing37]

Kate Bush is everything...

[@stefanocuci6889]

The smile more beautifull of the world...

[@janejohnstone5795]

She is soo...cute and gentle,..almost child like.

[@MALONEYCAMFIELD]

I don't know about Mark Ellen but David Hepworth is certainly a big fan of Kate Bush; he was talking about Hounds of Love on Radio 2 last week.

[@NoLimitOnImagination]

I've never seen this before! :-D

[@birdsong985]

She is such a baby doll.

[@dp-bh5fh]

Genius of love is actually a great song

[@malcolmbryant]

Cheers mate!

[@edlangham5008]

"Bang goes another Kanga on the bonnet of the van!"

[@andyth55]

How odd, putting Kate in the middle. There's nothing more off-putting than being interviewed like that. Liked the fact that they had supposedly been "Doing lots of research" before that final question so i'm thinking here comes the deep and meaningful one. Not a bit of it and off they go about "Genius of Love". Lame end to a lame interview. That said, Kate is absolutely gorgeous in this interview. As she still is. Charming, humble and forever engaging. There's yer genius of love. Right there!

[@janejohnstone5795]

They definitely like her, you can tell .

[@goodtimetone]

this takes me back eh?

[@flo15jo]

Jeez, she never ever, loses her temper with the idiots who interview her. Have you seen that horrible US interview where the technicians paw her around and the interviewer obviously doesn't have a clue? In her position, I would have bludgeoned them. And lord, these people don't even know about the didjeridoo .....

[@tadge72]

@keithdeweese tell you what!!! You comment on my comment but the other guy's you let pass? I would suggest that all brits over the age of 25 can name her greatest hits and those over 30 can probably sing most of them. She is an english legend. Maybe you would like to reply to other comment below that I had originally questioned.

[@20thCB]

It's Mark Ellen and David Hepworth. They went on to create Q magazine.

[@kirkwallboy]

@TheLionheart1012 They were never really on my radar, I'd seen them on The Old Grey Whistle Test in it's dying days, while I was waiting to see the Rain Parade. However. I now see them as they are. Two talking heads, talking to each other. Notice how they put Kate Bush in between them, like some sort of empty headed, self satisfied interrogation squad. No wonder she gave up interviews after this. Her genius, thankfully, gracefully transcends such a travesty.

[@eccremocarpusscaber5159]

kirkwallboy what? She on the middle of them because they are interviewing her. Crazy, I know! The interview is very much of its time, and things are certainly better now. But there are many, MANY worse interviews with Kate!

[@gw2031]

Check the guys trying to stop themselves salivating,, I always thought the dude on the left was McCartney, s love child lol

[@mermaidman1985]

Why did the great Bob Harris not do this?? he knew his stuff. And was not smug

[@bgfd1]

I think they can't deal with her intelligence and integrity as a woman or something. They come across as such clods. I hate the way they just blast questions at her. She keeps her dignity all through.

[@sophiiageneve2317]

Narcs. She shines a light into the world with her authenticity and shows them up...Thankfully we can appreciate her realness

[@Glinteye]

so polite, she could of been a blue peter presenter.

[@oliassunhillow599]

omg these two are SO condescending

[@StewartNicolasBILLYCONNOLLY]

I speak from the year 2010.....Rolf Harris will headline at Glastonbury!.....YOU make your mind up!

[@teknical100]

I remember these two guys, they seemed to like taking the p*** out of the acts. TOGWT and music programmes in general deteriorated to the point that they needed to go. "What is a didgeridoo?" Its a musical instrument mate; but then you clearly don't know what music is either.

[@aerialkate]

I can just imagine the meeting before Kate came in to be interviewed. I WANT TO INTERVIEW HER! - I'VE BEEN HERE THE LONGEST! - I'M OLDER! - I'M THE BIGGEST FAN! Obviously they both fancied her and to stop the squabbling, the producer says: OK - BOTH OF YOU INTERVIEW HER. STOP BITCHIN!

[@probrs]

@Nabou1 very true

[@bastardfingers]

Most did. I do think women had to behave a certain way to be taken seriously back then. Kate never seemed to care that she was being spoken to like that so she laughed and smiled. She does enjoy her irony our Kate.

[@irenasikanic9478]

It is unbelievable that Kate Bush don't have clothes we was ask the best loyer for Kate and me. She have Status o Qween in Art .Irena Sikanjic

[@malcolmbryant]

"Articulation"? How do you know how my joints move?

[@mjm0787]

So beautiful

[@jamiericci-martinez6691]

Exactly man! LOL!

[@StewartNicolasBILLYCONNOLLY]

Kate - take the rest and forget them.

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

hmm..genius of love is now a cult track.

[@get2rog]

Wrong - but your articulation puts you within the realms of Beckham world.

[@malcolmbryant]

Apologies for exercising my right to free speech. What on earth was I thinking?

[@MALONEYCAMFIELD]

"Neil O'Callaghan" Oh yeah, cause Terry Wogan or Graham Norton would have conducted much better interviews and are in no way smug or annoying. LOL

[@TheoStenner]

for the record, the tom tom club sucked. david byrne is the way forward.

[@youandwhosearmy6339]

funny because everytime i see kate i wanna get out my digeridoo

[@theylive23]

Why did they get rid of 'Whispering' Bob Harris? Hepworth, Ellen and all who came after Bob ruined this programme with their bloody Springsteen hero worship and worse.

[@tadge72]

@nootaramus think you will find us gays love kate, can only assume you are an american.

[@malcolmbryant]

Overruled. And they still have the same accent.

[@noc99]

They're just English. They can't help it.

[@20thCB]

Certainly smug. Dunno about sexist.
