FIVE KEY RECORDS: Kate Bush ‘Hounds Of Love’ remains Bush’s biggest and arguably best record, featuring her most recognised hits while pushing the limits of pop experimentation. www.normanrecords.com/features/fiv...

New show! This time, I'm looking back on the last 7 years of radio shows, and picking some songs from my favourite albums of the run. You'll probably know a lot of these, but hey ho... buff.ly/WOBnp3H @campradio.bsky.social

Unbelievably good live - don’t miss this one!

"When I was 12, I think my friend gave me this album and it was just so otherworldly. I’d never heard any music like that. Later on, it was such an exciting time when Hounds Of Love came out and it was such a hit." #Peaches on Kate Bush - The Kick Inside buff.ly/anuMdEn

Was there, and can attest this will doubtless be the greatest live album ever involving a hurdy-gurdy player who by the end of the set had drunk so much neat gin he couldn’t stand up.

Recorded live in the state51 factory - for those who were there you’ll know how good this is! For those who weren’t, click the link below

next up on Valentina Magaletti & Fanny Chiarello's Permanent Draft label, a new duo from Oï les Ox and poet / occasional Laila Sakini collaborator Lucy Van. Edition of 200 copies, comes with a 56 page booklet boomkat.com/products/mat...
