What gaffa really means has been debated over and over long before I joined
the group, and there seem to be two main opinions in that debate. One side
claims that gaffa is gaffa tape; a certain type of broad woven tape that is
used in outside broadcasting and stage performance applications to keep 
cabling in place. This is the explanation I believe in, and the one supported 
by what Kate Bush herself has said in interviews.

The other side in the debate, however, may think that this explanation is 
too simple and that there has to be a deeper meaning to it. You're welcome 
with theories on that meaning!
