A Chronology of Kate Bush's Career
[This chronology is basically a revised and slightly enlarged version of a chronology by Peter FitzGerald-Morris, the editor of Homeground, the International Kate Bush Fanzine.
Peter's chronology was included in a book of sixty-six of Kate's songs entitled Kate Bush Complete.
That book is an absolutely essential part of any serious fan's collection. It may be more valuable for its chronology than for its transcriptions of the music. The latter, unfortunately, are not an improvement over earlier publications, offering only the basic melodies notated in drastically simplified form and punctuated at intervals by shorthand chord indications. Kate Bush Complete, however, also presents an edition of the songs' lyrics, and it marks an improvement over earlier available printe d versions.
The book was originally edited by Cecil Bolton and published by EMI Music Publishing, but it is widely understood that virtually all of the research for the chronology and the lyrics was undertaken by Peter FitzGerald-Morris. Much of the information which appeared in Peter's Kate Bush Complete chronology had appeared in installments over a period of five years, in issues 1 through 25 of the fanzine Homeground. In Kate Bush Complete the chronology was entitled Retracing All the Scenes: An outline of Kate's career to date. The following version, which draws from several sources in addition to the FitzGerald-Morris chronology, is by Andrew Marvick.]

document, I have broken it up into sections for the sake of those browsing from
Europe.]
