All loads of KB stuff on BBC2 as I type this. In celebration of her birthday.
EDIT - the show on at the moment had a clip of her doing her lame cover of Rocket Man, with a caption telling us that in a poll it was voted "best cover version ever". Ffs.

Saw a couple of those shows 
There was a clip of a reporter talking outside the Liverpool Empire, her first ever official gig. Which I was at! 
Just sayin'!
(For all those who hate me already!) 
Kate is the greatest female musical talent the UK has ever produced. What I like about her, apart from her song writing, is the way she has conducted her career always on her own terms.
She's ok, but she's no Judie Tzuke.

Friend of mine saw Judie at the Liverpool Empire back in the 80's, she said the guitarist hit her in the face during the show and they had to stop and send her to hospital.

True story. Broke her nose.

This is one of my favourite posts on this board, ever.

Oh I never liked him but am now warming to him.
as you all may know, running up that hill has recently become a worldwide hit, thanks to 'stranger things' series.
kate's albums were ahead of her time, specially 'the dreaming' and 'hounds of love'. not many songs from the eighties would be hits nowadays if they were re-released.
perhaps take on me by a-ha could be a hit again. i can think of at least two recent chart-toppers that are clearly based on take on me.

I've heard some of his stuff which sounded quite good. Watermelon Sugar wasn't one of them, though!
Guy Garvey played the first 4 parts of The Ninth Wave on his BBC 6Music show earlier. Until he cut it off at that point I was becoming convinced he was going to play the whole thing.

He played Entangled again the other day, it's obviously a favourite of his.
