Saturday 25th April 2009: Kate - BBC 4. 12.10am - 12.55am

Kate Bush's Christmas TV special from 1979. Featuring Peter Gabriel performing "Here Comes The Flood" and in a duet with Kate on the Roy Harper song "Another Day."

The "Christmas" TV special, U.K. TV, first aired December 28, 1979. This forty-five-minute television programme is the only longform televised performance Kate has given to date. It is by any standard a great success. Not one spoken word is heard--only song and dance. Kate's only guest (aside from the KT Bush Band and her usual dance partners) is Peter Gabriel.

I got wind of this news of all places on the Bowiewonderworld site - 24 hous too late.
Will this be repeated does anyone know? KB material on TV is literally like gold-dust
nowadays.

Huh - I completely missed this, for some reason. I have seen it before, so no problem for me.

It's not going to be shown again in the next few days, at least. I've checked the guide for the next week.

If you are in the UK you can watch it on BBC iPlayer:

You can see the whole show here, filmed before an audience of about 200 people, consisting of family, friends and fans of KaTe.

It's being repeated on BBC4 this coming Sunday (17th May) at 1.30 am - which is technically Tuesday morning I suppose. Set your recorders. A tiny morsel of KB TV gold I've been waiting decades for.

Technically Tuesday - sorry that was meant to be Monday.
BBC's fault I slipped up there.
