Earnshaw, Tina
A leading makeup artist who has worked with Kate on many occasions, among them the videos for Cloudbusting and Experiment IV as well as the film The Line The Cross And The Curve. Earnshaw has become a very high-profile makeup designer in Hollywood, showcasing her skills in such recent films as Hamlet, Cinderella, Sliding Doors, Emma, Surviving Picasso, Othello, Feast of July, Jefferson in Paris, and Titanic. Her Oscar-winning accomplishments in the latter have catapulted Earnshaw to a level of celebrity, such that she now appears in commercials for Revlon cosmetics. In the course of working on James Cameron's epic film, Earnshaw not only researched the makeup styles of the period, but worked with physicians to study the effects of hypothermia on the human body for the post-disaster sequences. Should she be reunited with Kate in any future projects, this research may well serve her in good stead.

Efteling, De
A Disneyland-like gothic horror theme park in Amsterdam. Kate made a six-song promotional film there in April 1978, performing the songs Moving, Wuthering Heights, Them Heavy People, The Man With The Child In His Eyes, Strange Phenomena, and The Kick Inside, using the settings and props to convey atmosphere for each song. Fittingly, her visit was commemorated by a new gravestone in the park.

Elliott, Stuart
A member of Cockney Rebel who also recorded with the Alan Parsons Project and Al Stewart, Elliott became one of Kate's regular drummers with the album The Kick Inside. The only musician other than her brother Paddy -- and of course, Kate herself -- to appear on every Kate Bush album to date. Rather than ennumerating all the songs on which he plays drums or percussion, it would be easier simply to list the handful of tracks on which he does not play.

England My Leotard
This song, performed by Pamela Stephenson on the British comedy program Not The Nine O'Clock News, is a strikingly well-observed pastiche of Them Heavy People (with a reference to the coda of Violin tacked on, and a nod to Oh England My Lionheart in the title) with new lyrics provided by Peter Brewis. The song is not so much a satire of Kate as a skewering of the record buying public who "only buy my latest hits / because they like my latex tits."

Eno, Brian
(b. Brian Peter George St. John de Baptiste de la Salle Eno, 1948) An influential British musician, composer, producer, and performer who first came to public notice as a member of the art-rock group Roxy Music with Brian Ferry. Kate designed a number of Christmas cards for his charity project Warchild, and has contributed original works Someone Lost At Sea Signalling A Plane For Help, A Plane At Night Searching For Someone Lost At Sea, and Strange Fruit to charity auctions organized by Eno. She has also cited Eno's album My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts (a collaboration with David Byrne) as "tremendously influential on me and the whole of modern music with the repetition and the sampling."
