Tiswas during Palladium week, 1979
On the anarchic children’s show Tiswas in 1979, Kate Bush appears in a leather jacket during her Palladium week, a brief collision of Saturday morning chaos and art-pop precision. Between foam and slapstick she talks about writing, touring, and the strange theatre of The Kick Inside becoming public life.
The contrast is the charm: a songwriter built for private rooms, suddenly laughing in a studio built for sugar rush. Watch for the calm in her eyes while the set keeps exploding.
