Known for her ethereal vocals, expressive dancing and poetic lyrics, the evergreen Kate Bush is being discovered by a new generation.

It comes nearly half a century since she began writing chart hits as a teenager, after Netflix used her song Running Up That Hill in its award-winning 1980s sci-fi drama, Stranger Things.

And it is in stark contrast to the relative obscurity enjoyed by her former partner, bassist and studio engineer Derek 'Del' Palmer, the man credited with programming the drum track that makes Running Up That Hill so distinctive.

Palmer has played several one-off gigs with Cloudbusting, a Kate Bush tribute band, who are playing tonight at a remote pub in the Pennines.

But then, in the mad world of Kate Bush, Stranger Things have happened….

Known for her ethereal vocals, expressive dancing and poetic lyrics, the evergreen Kate Bush (above, in 1975) is being discovered by a new generation.

The song – which was accompanied with an atmospheric video featuring actor Donald Sutherland – opens with the line: 'I still dream of Orgonon.'.

Kate's long-term collaborator, Del Palmer, was playing in a 1970s pub band with her brother when they became the KT Bush Band to give the then teenage (and already prodigiously talented) Kate live singing experience.

Kate's song You're The One, expressing heartache at leaving a lover, is about their break-up.

The 1993 song Lily was inspired by her friend and personal 'healer', the late Lily Cornford, who, Kate said, believed 'in the powers of angels and taught me to see them in a different light'.

It might be how the world has always known the track, but for Kate, Running Up That Hill will always have a different name.

The song, originally released in 1985, is about a man and a woman swapping places – but is more about empathy than transgenderism.

It has been 11 years since her last album was released and Kate was hard at work in lockdown … not composing music but gardening.

She once duetted with comedian Rowan Atkinson, playing a lounge bar crooner on a song called Do Bears.

'He's an utter creep and he drives me around the bend,' sang Bush.

'I can sing the highest notes when I'm in the bath,' Kate said in 1979.

'Some of my friends thought it was a funny interlude,' Kate has said.

The song is actually about a woman whose husband is missing or dead.

When she felt she'd struck gold after composing a song at the piano with a bag of bonemeal fertiliser slung haphazardly on the top, the bag had to stay
