Cloudbusting -- Kate Bush In Her Own Words

Kate Bush Club

Well, here's another one [Letter] from Cameron Underwood of Shefield. He asked asks a question that lots of people ask about a fan club.

: Ah, right. [Looks at camera] well hello Cameron, I remember you 'cause he in fact wrote to me the other day.

Really?

: And your letter's in the post. [Both laugh] Yeah, we're forming a fan club very soon and I'd like to apologize to all the people who have written to me, and I just haven't managed to get around to replying to you, but it's on the way, and we'll inform you as soon as we've got something done.

Well, that's the thing. If you're successful you have little time for other things.

: Yeah, but they write such wonderful letters, I mean it's incredible. It's really lovely. (1979, Ask Aspel)

Who are the two girls on page 3 of the christmas newsletter?

: They are Lisa and my Ma. Lisa is the lady who deals with all your letters that come through to the Club, and she's starting to take a lot of the workload off Nicholas's shoulders. You'll be hearing a lot more from her in the future. [Lisa bradley is now the chief editor of the newsletter. nicholas wade was apparently in charge only for the first five issues. - ied] (1980, KBC 5)

Do you actually read any of the letters sent to the club? And how many staff work there?

: Yes, I do. Lisa runs the Club, but with the help of `` family'' hands and friends. (1984, KBC 16)
