Early interview on Swap Shop by Noel Edmonds. This has been wiped by the BBC - there is a fuller version of this on RUclips 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.
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.🤷🏻♀️
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.
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 ☼
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!!
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?
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
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?
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😊
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.
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!
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!!!
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. 💖🙏
If I had to associate one person with adorable it would be Kate Bush. And she is so sweet and real to her young fans in this. Thanks for this very cool video.

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

Ditto. How sad
For the twerking generations of today- And to embrace natural beauty is somewhat lost on youth today.😢🌬💋
My God, she was beautiful.
She still is.

I believe this is the most adorable thing I have ever seen and ever will see in my entire life.
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.

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?
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
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.
what a gorgeous conversational voice she has - no pretensions whatsoever..
She breaks my heart, her kindness and modesty, love her music so much.
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.
she is the loveliest person who ever lived, oh my.
Like me, I'm slightly more lovely though.
She is absolutely adorable in this interview.
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
She simply has one of the loveliest faces I've seen. There's such grace, kindness and meekness in her expressions.
Kate Bush chatting with little kids is the most adorable thing I've ever seen
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.
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.

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
That talking voice
That conversation at 6:00 was adorable
All the little girls calling in to compliment her hair is the sweetest thing
the passion hanging from her lips is never absent every time she talks i love it i love her
so pretty & extremely intelligent.
ahd humble
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

Yeah, when she laughs❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@gelitrippingkiddo5907 No need to be so hard on yourself. You're beautiful, as well. Lol
The children's questions and Kate's responses made for the best interview I've seen about her. Wonderful.

Why strange?.
Beauty, Charme, honesty, gigantic talent - what a girl. Nothing else than a dream.
omg the kids calling in are beyond sweet and the way kate is with them is so amazing
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!
Why can't everyone be like her more like? There is an adorable little snort laugh in there.
She has an absolutely beautiful personality as well as her magnificent voice xx
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.
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
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.
How warm and decent the tone of the interviews were in the 70's. I miss that conversational style... ♫♪♪♪♫
What a cutie pie! She couldn’t possibly be more adorable!
What a wonderful person without an exploding ego - today's celebrities should really learn a lot from Kate here!

She's the sweetest. All that lalent, vision and skill in one soft-spoken, sweet English girl.
The call about her hair is the cutest thing ive ever seen!
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!!
Unsurpassed beauty, demeanor, grace, talent.
Her personality blows away any female performer today. She is/was lightyears away from the trash in music today.
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!!!

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.
wise beyond her years with a sweet exterior!
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!
Kate has always been the cutest and so humble
Kate is the best inspiration a fairy really and I can so,,,,,, relate,,,,,,,,🎶🎶💕💕
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.
Been following Kate Bush since the release of Wuthering Heights. What a talent and a humble person.
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 am french and god she is so lovely, so shy , and i love english accent talking ina shy way my heart just melt;))
I will always love Kate
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😊
A beautiful soul with an angles voice with no desire to join the circus of celebrity . A one off
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.
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.
I watched this interview at the time it was aired - so wonderful to see it now. The Kick Inside is 45 years old today....
Such humility from an incredible star & inspiration to millions, Always have, always will adore KB. 😍❤️🤩
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!]"
It’s really nice to keep that delight and wonder that children have…
Her talking with that young girl about her hair is so cute. We all need women like this.
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!

Amazing, you could actually understand what children said back in those days. And they even sounded intelligent...WOW.
Innit!
My ❤ aches....
Miss those days, can't help it.
Always notice Kate's eye dimple when she really smiles .
Will always ❤ her .
Such a talented woman .
Beautiful person.
Wonderful songbird🐦

Stunningly beautiful!
