Following the huge success of his re-issued “Cathy” book last autumn, Kate’s brother John Carder Bush and Little, Brown are publishing a second book of photos and essays by John in October 2015. It will be called “Kate” and there is also a special edition of the book being planned, details at www.katebook.co.uk. Here is the press release:

KATE By John Carder Bush
A unique collection of rare and unseen photographs of Kate Bush, taken by her brother, the photographer and writer John Carder Bush.

Little, Brown is pleased to announce the publication of KATE by John Carder Bush. Published on 22nd October 2015, hardback, price £40.00. KATE is a collection of beautiful images from throughout her career. It includes outtakes from classic album shoots and never- before-seen photographs from The Dreaming and Hounds of Love sessions, and rare candid studio shots and behind-the- scenes stills from video sets, including ‘Army Dreamers’ and ‘Running Up that Hill’.

These stunning images will be accompanied by two new essays by John Carder Bush: Inside the Rainbow, describing in vibrant detail their shared childhood and the early, whirlwind days of Kate’s career, and My Sister, My Sitter, which vividly evokes John’s experience of photographing his sister. He says: ‘For me, each of these images forms part of a golden thread that shoots through the visual tapestry of Kate’s remarkable career. Storytelling has always been the heartbeat of Kate’s body of work, and it has been a privilege to capture these photographic illustrations that accompany those magical tales’

KATE is a truly extraordinary insight into the life and career of one of our most influential and well-loved artists. Publication will be supported by an extensive publicity and marketing campaign. A limited run of special editions will be available from www.katebook.co.uk – sign up now for more information. #katebook

    I hope this comes on Amazon.com and has the same release date in America as it does the UK.

  17. I’m very glad to see the continuation of the photography of John Carder Bush from “Cathy” to “Kate.” The photos shown are beautiful and capture Kate’s essence. Love the HOL photo!!

    Am I the only one who would enjoy much more a box set of audio rarities rather than another book of photographies, even by his brother ?

  19. I too am looking forward to this book and everything else that may come along this year… read here to see more:

    The American release date for “Kate” is now December 15, 2015 and the price has risen from $ 40.07 to $65.00. I want an explanation for the delay and price increase.

    • Hi there, I’d suggest contacting the publishers/Amazon depending where your’e getting this info? Thanks.

  21. Hello John,
    This is great news, I pre-ordered the book from Amazon back in May, and just recently received the ‘Bescope’ edition of ‘Cathy’
    I’ve placed my name and E-Mail address on your site http://www.katebook.com a few times,
    as I always seem to miss out.
