Melanie asked: "Has anyone ever heard of any connection with K. Bush and the "hands-free" headset microphone? She didn't play a role in inventing them, did she?" Karen replied: "My understanding is that Kate's sound guy *did*, at her request, develop this microphone for her tour, as it was so dance-focussed." Yup - this was my understanding as well. The original prototype involved bits of twisted wire coat-hanger. Kate said once that she was scared of swearing when she thought the mike was off, as she was used to having to deliberately move the mike to her mouth when she wanted to use it.. Mike
