‘Probably the best Bush book to date.’ – Record Collector
Kate Bush: the subject of murmured legend and one of the most idiosyncratic musicians of the modern era. Comprising fifty chapters or ‘visions’, Running Up That Hill is a multi-faceted biography of this famously elusive figure, viewing her life and work from fresh and illuminating angles.
Featuring details from the author’s one-to-one conversations with Kate, as well as vignettes of her key songs, albums, videos and concerts, this artful, candid and often brutally funny portrait introduces the reader to the refreshingly real Kate Bush.
Along the way, the narrative also includes vivid reconstructions of transformative moments in her career and insights from the friends and collaborators closest to Kate, including her photographer brother John Carder Bush and fellow artists David Gilmour, John Lydon and Youth.
Running Up That Hill is a vibrant and comprehensive re-examination of Kate Bush and her many creative landmarks.

Great to hear Kate in a relaxed interview at home with some real insights from her normal life. Good updates from 2022 too!

This book is such a great idea – each chapter approaches an aspect of the legend Kate Bush and/or her music from a different angle, with some amazing anecdotes throughout.
It’s clear that Doyle cares deeply about the subject and his clear skill at interviewing draws some fascinating detail.
Highly recommended!
by Eddie Burke
Really enjoyed reading this book learned a lot about Kate that I didn’t know. Would recommend it to anyone who has a passing interest in her music and life.
