HOMEGROUND: THE KATE BUSH MAGAZINE: ANTHOLOGY TWO: THE RED SHOES TO
50 WORDS FOR SNOW HomeGround is a magazine devoted to Kate Bush
(born in 1958), a British pop star best-known for hits such as
Wuthering Heights, Wow, Hounds of Love and Running Up That Hill .
This book is pure heaven for music fans. The HomeGround magazine
anthology includes material inspired by all periods of Kate Bush's
musical progression. It is a book about the reaction to her work
and how her unique music has touched the lives of so many
people.
This is a unique book, a labour of love for hundreds of music
fans who have contributed to HomeGround over its thirty-year
existence. The book includes an enormous amount of information
about Kate Bush, accounts of every release, album, single, pop
promo and appearance, as well as memories and accounts of music
fandom (such as conventions, meetings, hikes, stage door encounters
and video parties). It also includes material on many other pop
acts and events. It features poetry, stories, letters, reviews,
interviews, memoirs, cartoons, drawings, paintings and
photographs.
This is the second book of a two volume set, totalling over 1200
pages. The second volume covers Kate Bush s career from The Red
Shoes album to 50 Words For Snow album (from the early 1990s to the
present day). The first book runs from the origins of Bush s career
to the album The Sensual World .
The first issue of HomeGround appeared in 1982, four years after
Kate Bush s dramatic debut with Wuthering Heights . Starting with
an ancient manual typewriter, and a pot of glue paste, the editors
mounted articles on recycled backing sheets and added hand-drawn
artwork to fill the gaps. The first issue was photocopied, the
pages hand-stapled together and twenty-five copies were given away
to fans they knew. Only later did they discover the magic of word
processing, and desktop publishing.
From those beginnings HomeGround became a cornerstone of the
Kate-speaking world, the editors going on to organise four official
fan events at which Kate Bush and members of her family and band
appeared, arrange at Bush s request a team of fans to be extras in
two of her videos and organise informal fan gatherings at
Glastonbury and Top Withens, the storm-blown ruin on Haworth Moor.
Years before the internet, HomeGround became a place where fans
could discuss Bush s music, and a place where they could publish
creative writing and artwork that music inspired.
