Early interview on Swap Shop by Noel Edmonds. This has been wiped by the BBC - there is a fuller version of this on TH-cam but the quality on this clip s a bit better.
Watching these old interviews of Kate literally make me cry. I'm 50 now, but have been in love with her and her music since I was a teenager in Poland. The innocence, purity, genuineness, sincerity, kindness, and knowing what was to come for her and the genius she would grace us with is just overwhelming. Transposed with the shallowness, vanity, and lack of talent these days, this is particularly moving. There is not a gram of vanity or entitlement in this woman. What a beautiful human being she is. I feel really fortunate to have grown up with her music and always appreciated it. Thank you, Kate.
She's so sweet to the children calling in, she's just the purest soul on earth. "EEEEEEEEE...it's very early in the morning" she's so adorable. This is one of my favorite videos with her, my heart...also the guy interviewing her is so nice, that's rare.
What makes Kate so fascinating is the fact that her music is so deep, so inspired, such an enigma while she herself is elegant, graceful, beautiful, poetic, but yet, she's always been so humbled and down-to-earth that you'd think you were talking to the girl-next-door. She comes off as a simple girl with a kind disposition until she records a song she wrote and then she becomes other-worldly. It's as fascinating to watch her talk as it is to watch her perform. Kate Bush is like finding out that Tom Hanks was a literary giant in the field of quantum physics. They say everyone has two sides, but Kate Bush is ridiculous.
You've pretty much summed up why she's one of my heroes; there's a mystical nature to her music that is endlessly intriguing yet she herself comes across as very modest and lovely.
Loveliest person in the music business. Even after 40 years as a brilliant artist, she's still as sweet, gracious, and humble as ever. Such a class act.
Kate's so adorable here. She's so sweet to the children and has a great interaction with them. And the children are very polite and well-mannered which is rare and even shocking nowadays.🤷🏻♀️
She’s just so chill. Doing what she loves and what makes her happy. And luckily for us brings others delight. I am just rediscovering her after liking some of her music when I was a teen, but now I am older, I can really appreciate the nuances.
35 years later and i still haven't found a sweeter person in the whole world. Countless hours of all kinds of music listening, still haven't found a more talented, unique, sensitive, progressive, alternative, recording ARTIST,singer, writer, musician,producer, director of my dreamlife. I was 9 years old, when you answered these phone calls,right in the begining of my music journey, Kate.. I'm so thrilled, about your live performances, this summer, i just can't wait to see YOU, KATE , my Supersonic sunshine, I adore you!!!
Yes my friend, of course i love Bjork! She's so special.. Kate, Bjork, Tori Amos, all these amazing women, make a big difference to my ears.. and to my soul... Greetings from Greece ☼
Oh god! I have the same dimples and I’ve always hated them terribly. I’m glad people fancy them at all. Sometimes I look at Kate because she’s so beautiful, just to remind myself they aren’t really a trouble. It’s nice to see people who share a feature, sometimes. It’s a comfort. I do adore Kate.
Noel Edmond's conducting an exquisite interview with Kate Bush, priceless in my favourite year of 1979! How life was so innocent then and everyone was polite and had respect, my how times have changed! I first heard Kate Bush singing Wuthering Heights on Paul Holmes Drive Time on Swansea Sound 257 in 1978 and immediately bought ' The Kick Inside ' what a classic song and a great album!
It's great seeing this again. I was watching at the time. Wonderful how all the kids who rang in were so polite, engaged and intelligent back then. I miss those days.
True humility! Doesn't think of herself as a singer with one of the best and most interesting voices ever in pop music??? Amazing singer, songwriter and later, producer!
I didn't think I could be in love with Kate anymore than I already was until I watched this adorable, but strange, interview. As far as I'm concerned, Kate Bush is the most perfect woman to ever walk on Earth!
Holy s@#$ she was incredibly beautiful!!!!! When she was speaking on that ridiculous phone for a moment and the camera came in close,.Something in her eyes!!! I felt suddenly as though I had stepped off a cliff into some sort of deep warm chasm,.it actually startled me,..her beauty is soooo deep and her soul shines through her like an intense bright light,..it draws you in,...Where is she from? Somewhere far away? Long ago? Amazing ,..like a little pixie!!! Or a White Witch maybe?
Absolute class, smart and beautiful, down to earth, the list is never ending. It looks like the times were different too, never lived in the UK in fact i live in Beirut but the kids on the phone were all well behaved and were fans of really good music at young age.
All future female artists take inspiration from this amazing down to earth legend what a beautiful woman on every level ' hard act to follow in every way!!
I remember seeing this like it was just yesterday. Kate is a genius and always grounded. The old Saturday morning swap shop on the beeb with Noel, Cheggers and co was great
I've adored Kate Bush since my wonderful HS girlfriend, circa 1981...an Air Force brat that lived near Birmingham for bit, introduced me to Kick Inside and Lionheart. Anyone who gets Kate Bush can't put it onto words. i'm one of them.
England .my lionheart is my favourite too. I was upset at all troubles going on in england and remembered this song listening to it today and went on kate bush binge on youtube .I had all her albums. She also lives in devon and same constituency as me😊
When there’s someone as good as Kate is in their field, a good interview will get a lot out of them. It’s about the work and her willingness to communicate the ideas and concepts at it’s core. Her work will remain relevant and played simply because it’s genre busting and not subject to the same fashionable forces that sink more commercially minded work. A true artist with something to say.
Absolutely adorable. If mankind could get more inspiration from the likes of Kate this world would be such a nice place ❤️ I love what she is saying about the man with the child in his eyes because it is so true. Sad about the laughter from the male ‘audience’ or studio crew?
This was the cutest video ever of Kate Bush!!! And, may I say, I miss the time we used to carry the bulky phone to speak to people... it felt better!!!
We know the Queen honoured her yrs ago with a CBE for her musical contributions and lyrical/compositional artistry, but shouldn’t KB been upgraded to Dame by now? She’s definitely the Dame in her field of endeavour!
The 2nd TOTP appearance was a real testament to Kate. The backing band wasn't hers and they were woefully under-rehearsed and couldn't play the pre-chorus in time, but she kept it going!
I absolutely love these old interviews when she was like 19 or 20 she's so beautiful and adorable. I'm a great admirer of her music and her as an artist one of the all time greats and a living legend i just love Kate Bush so much she's a true inspiration. Everytime i listen to her music it makes me so happy and gets me in a great mood. If i need something to get me thru the day all i have to do is listen to her music and i'm ready to go. 💖🙏

She’s an absolute sweetheart isn’t she ❤
Your comment sums up everything

That’s Noel Edmonds who is a very well known radio and TV personality in the Uk.
Yeah, Kate seemed really at ease. Definitely one of my favourite Kate Bush interviews also.
In all of my 59 years I have never come across anyone as genuinely sweet as Kate.
Fallen in love all over again.
You should meet me, I am much sweeter.
No pick me I'm 57 and still have most of my teeth
OMG u made me spit my drink @@hamishmcpenguin603

Ditto. How sad
For the twerking generations of today- And to embrace natural beauty is somewhat lost on youth today.😢🌬💋
I believe this is the most adorable thing I have ever seen and ever will see in my entire life.
My God, she was beautiful.
She still is.
+Georgina Penstkart No argument from me honey.
Marcus Osborne is she dead?

This is such a lovely reminder of how simple and innocent things were, and should be. Kate was a super role model.
What makes Kate so fascinating is the fact that her music is so deep, so inspired, such an enigma while she herself is elegant, graceful, beautiful, poetic, but yet, she's always been so humbled and down-to-earth that you'd think you were talking to the girl-next-door.

what a gorgeous conversational voice she has - no pretensions whatsoever..
Loveliest person in the music business. Even after 40 years as a brilliant artist, she's still as sweet, gracious, and humble as ever. Such a class act.
Kate's so adorable here. She's so sweet to the children and has a great interaction with them. And the children are very polite and well-mannered which is rare and even shocking nowadays.🤷🏻♀️
I find it hard to belive she was the same age as me here. I don't know why.
I will take that for the team! I was on line 1. Embarrassed at my awkwardness but Kate was so gentle and gracious in her responses.
@@kingdonward Kate is a goddess.
That's how we were told be polite and respectful friendly not rude X good old fashioned 1969s 1970s Kate the best X down to earth 🌎 X
I wonder why children aren't very polite and well-mannered these days. Have you any theories?
She was 15 years old when she wrote - The man with the child in his eyes- That`s talent !
And it's not even the first song she wrote, also taught herself to play the piano.
she was 13
Very, very creepy song........ think about it
@@mikeonfreeserve2926 What d'you mean?
@@caldionni4815 probably reference to the title of the song ,could apply to a pedophile in a literal sense.
4:40 what I love about Kate is her honesty and her laugh is so contagious whenever she is laughing I can't help but join in! she always warms my heart
I love how these kids are so polite and respectful
British kids were like this until the mid-90s.
@@ajs41then it all went down hill
Kate Bush chatting with little kids is the most adorable thing I've ever seen
she is the loveliest person who ever lived, oh my.
Like me, I'm slightly more lovely though.
She breaks my heart, her kindness and modesty, love her music so much.
She is absolutely adorable in this interview.
Life is so sad. I wish we could all stay this age. I remember this and fell in love with the cutest girl in the world.
This is what a pop star is. Beyoncé my r’s
She simply has one of the loveliest faces I've seen. There's such grace, kindness and meekness in her expressions.
That talking voice
the passion hanging from her lips is never absent every time she talks i love it i love her
She’s just so chill. Doing what she loves and what makes her happy. And luckily for us brings others delight. I am just rediscovering her after liking some of her music when I was a teen, but now I am older, I can really appreciate the nuances.

Don't forget dancer and choreographer
@@julianarodriguex899 and psychiatrist! Must be why she can hook us all so completely - Kate's a story-teller, wends a nice tale.
@@thomasgeorgantas8502 i
Strikingly beautiful with lovely long locks, and Kate ain't bad either!
I agree! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I miss telly addicts!
She is still that 11 year old girl sitting and reading and dreaming and writing pop songs. She is still pure.
Yes she is ❤ she is lovely
That dimple under her eye is sooo cute!
I expect it's an old injury rather than a dimple; but it certainly does nothing to spoil her looks.
@@TallSilentGuy definitely dimples, she has them on both sides
Oh god! I have the same dimples and I’ve always hated them terribly. I’m glad people fancy them at all. Sometimes I look at Kate because she’s so beautiful, just to remind myself they aren’t really a trouble. It’s nice to see people who share a feature, sometimes. It’s a comfort. I do adore Kate.

In the year that this interview took place, a broomstick landed at a certain London residence.
My first record😍and my mum cried listening to me trying to sing like Kate🤣🤣🤣i love her
@@fearworks7249 haha
@@fearworks7249 What does that mean
Why can't everyone be like her more like? There is an adorable little snort laugh in there.
It's great seeing this again. I was watching at the time. Wonderful how all the kids who rang in were so polite, engaged and intelligent back then. I miss those days.
so pretty & extremely intelligent.
ahd humble
The children's questions and Kate's responses made for the best interview I've seen about her. Wonderful.
True humility! Doesn't think of herself as a singer with one of the best and most interesting voices ever in pop music??? Amazing singer, songwriter and later, producer!
omg the kids calling in are beyond sweet and the way kate is with them is so amazing
Beauty, Charme, honesty, gigantic talent - what a girl. Nothing else than a dream.
That conversation at 6:00 was adorable
All the little girls calling in to compliment her hair is the sweetest thing
I didn't think I could be in love with Kate anymore than I already was until I watched this adorable, but strange, interview. As far as I'm concerned, Kate Bush is the most perfect woman to ever walk on Earth!
Why strange?.
She's the sweetest. All that lalent, vision and skill in one soft-spoken, sweet English girl.
She has an absolutely beautiful personality as well as her magnificent voice xx
What a cutie pie! She couldn’t possibly be more adorable!
Holy s@#$ she was incredibly beautiful!!!!!
When she was speaking on that ridiculous phone for a moment and the camera came in close,.Something in her eyes!!!

How warm and decent the tone of the interviews were in the 70's. I miss that conversational style... ♫♪♪♪♫
What a wonderful person without an exploding ego - today's celebrities should really learn a lot from Kate here!
Absolute class, smart and beautiful, down to earth, the list is never ending.
It looks like the times were different too, never lived in the UK in fact i live in Beirut but the kids on the phone were all well behaved and were fans of really good music at young age.
The call about her hair is the cutest thing ive ever seen!
Unsurpassed beauty, demeanor, grace, talent.
All future female artists take inspiration from this amazing down to earth legend what a beautiful woman on every level ' hard act to follow in every way!!
So adorable and charming. Ever since I was a little boy I was hooked on her. Never tired of her and her music. She's a national treasure.
I really adore Kate, she is a natural.
Her red hair ain't though.
@@imogenimeson664
She used Henna and plaited it when it was wet, to get the frizzy long look.
wise beyond her years with a sweet exterior!
gorgeous genius with the most beautiful speaking voice 😱😍
Her personality blows away any female performer today. She is/was lightyears away from the trash in music today.
I remember seeing this like it was just yesterday. Kate is a genius and always grounded. The old Saturday morning swap shop on the beeb with Noel, Cheggers and co was great
Stevie Mac yes she is class.
Kate is the best inspiration a fairy really and I can so,,,,,, relate,,,,,,,,🎶🎶💕💕

I watched this interview at the time it was aired - so wonderful to see it now. The Kick Inside is 45 years old today....
Been following Kate Bush since the release of Wuthering Heights. What a talent and a humble person.

i am french and god she is so lovely, so shy , and i love english accent talking ina shy way my heart just melt;))
My ❤ aches....
Miss those days, can't help it.
The best thing with this video is that they can watch back and see the legend she has become...Also they got to chat with Mr Blobbys dad.
A beautiful soul with an angles voice with no desire to join the circus of celebrity . A one off
This was the cutest video ever of Kate Bush!!! And, may I say, I miss the time we used to carry the bulky phone to speak to people... it felt better!!!
It’s really nice to keep that delight and wonder that children have…
so sweet them kids
Stunningly beautiful!
I love how direct she was about men being grown up kids. That’s a good quality in men.
What's the difference between a hippo and a Zippo?
One's really heavy, and other's a little lighter!
So humble is our Kate, beautiful as always
We know the Queen honoured her yrs ago with a CBE for her musical contributions and lyrical/compositional artistry, but shouldn’t KB been upgraded to Dame by now? She’s definitely the Dame in her field of endeavour!

Always notice Kate's eye dimple when she really smiles .
Will always ❤ her .
Such a talented woman .
When people didnt talk down to kids...miss those days...
lol really ? adults have always talked down to kids throughout history
@melanie Mcdonagh Well, they can't talk forever.
Kate looked gorgeous.
Her talking with that young girl about her hair is so cute. We all need women like this.
Beautiful person.
Wonderful songbird🐦
God bless 💙🙏
Such humility from an incredible star & inspiration to millions, Always have, always will adore KB. 😍❤️🤩
Such a beautiful sweet soul, wonderful artist, and fantastic songsmith. I hope to see her before time runs out xxx
As a black woman, with a son in the military, I just love how very polite all the youngsters who call in are. Lovely.
They're not so polite these days.
Love this interview. Young Lady Di vibes. Kate has always been so down-to-earth.
Another classic Swap Shop moment, lovely early Kate Bush interview :)
The girl at the end had the resigned tone of someone who'd just lost 20p to their sister who correctly bet that Kate would say 'Wuthering Heights'.
oh my god so true
I was also wishing she would have said that :( pity!
I reacted similarly just watching. 'Oh England, my Lionheart' ??? Really? That song? Oh alright, bye
🤣🤣
"Oh, yeh................... Right. Thank you.. [Shit!]"
the charming and wonderful Kate Bush, my favourite artist ever!!
Can you think of a sweeter person than Kate? My god, what is it with her? She’s gorgeous, really. It’s impossible not to fall in love with her.
What an absolute gem. Feel so nostalgic :-/
I'm 62 years old, and l remember seen this on saturday morning on tv.
