I love how she actually talks to the kids here and not at them. There's a mutual respect going on here. She's just so lovely and talented, I love her...

I still find it incredible that this quietly spoken young woman is responsible for one of the the most ambitious art/pop albums of all time. She literally sings her heart out on The Dreaming. If Kate were a Marshall Amp then she’s turned up all the way to 11 on this one.

I love how true to herself Kate is. This is a kids show and she doesn't dumb herself down at all. A true legend.

I love how she talks in interviews. She is very expressive and articulate without being pretentious. She holds those kids attention by talking simply without talking down to them. You can tell they can relate to her and what she's saying. Not many people in the pop world can manage to be so creative and off the wall and surreal without being seeming a bit odd and detached, but Kate does.

No ego, she comes across as very humble person making a wonderful creative contribution to music.

This film is a perfect example of how children are much wiser than people give them credit for, Kate-bush is child-like and worldly-wise. She is Genuine,her music came from a passion, an undiluted vision, no-one dumbed-it down or got in the way. Creativity is the key to a life lived fully.

the contrast between her sweet, genuine patience with the kids in the interview and the raw power of Sat in Your Lap is incredible

Notice how very well at ease she is when speaking with the children. She is so childlike herself and they all sense it innately. Isn't she lovely, softspoken, humble, non-affected... God how we need more people like her in the spotlight. Kate - I love you! ~Jon

Can you imagine being a kid and having someone famous or your idol hand you a prop from one of their recent pieces of work so you can wear it? I can't think of too many famous people who'd do that now or even back then. What a very special thing Kate did there for those kids!

She's so perfect. Gorgeous, talented and she comes off as probably the kindest, friendliest entertainer I've seen.

It actually goes further than that. The person in charge of Kate at EMI, Bob Mercer, actually tore up her original contract after Wuthering Heights and negotiated a new one. Kate records for a corporation consisting of her self and family, of which she is the sole employee. EMI doesn't hear a note of her music until she is done, then they can only release or reject it. So she has less pressure on her than most any other artist in modern music.

She's so utterly, breathtakingly perfect.

She's that beautiful, cool big sis I could listen to for hours. Every time this woman speaks I'm transfixed. She has this aura about her. What an amazing, talented lady!

Wow Kate is drop dead gorgeous in this interview. I also love the way she has respect for the interviewer and the kids as well answering their questions without sticking her nose up at them.

A free mind is a beautiful mind. Thank God for souls like Kate Bush.

I adore this lady, she is a super star in every sense of the word, Her undeniable artistic talent, a unique voice go without need of further elaboration. What strikes me the most though Is Kate Bush`s warm approachable demeanour. She never gives the impression she is doing people a favour when she does rare interviews. She is humble, down to earth and has never been in this game for the fame and the celebrity. She just an artist who wants people to experience her take on the world be it through song, dance, video. She always kept true to her self writing songs that meant something to her rather than kow towing to record industry bosses milking the latest music fad till it was dried out. Thats why Kate is so long lived, remembered and loved still today. I am so glad that younsters are discovering her music too. God bless this example of how money wealth and celebrity do not have to turn you into a self centered egotistical maniac like so many of todays so called "Artists"

This is a lovely quiet interview, with a quiet guest and quiet interviewer and interested respectful kids with attention spans

my gawsh, has ever a woman been as loving and deep and angelic?

I loved her forty years ago, I love her still today. There will never be another like her.

I was actually at Tyne Tees Studios on a school trip the day this was filmed. I must’ve been about 12, so this has to be at least 40 years ago. I wasn’t lucky enough to be sat in the group of kids around her, but there was a bank of seats sloping back from the stage and I was up there. Kate had already had major success by then, but at the time I never imagined what an unique and influential artist she would become. This trip must’ve planted a seed because from about 16 years of age I became a fan and have been ever since.

Good gosh she is so beautiful, her skin is like silk, I'm in love.

This is one of my favourite Kate Bush interviews. She has such a calming aura. Its contagious.

Watching this video, I'm like one of those kids - hanging on to her every word...

Fantastic interview - she seems really at home with the kids, sharing her creativity and view of the world. She'd have been a great music and drama teacher if she'd never been a musical treasure.

What a wonderful video. Talent aside, I'm always blown away at how gracious she is.

Watching this video she is explaining herself on how she tries to portrait herself through music. Wonderful musician. Thank you KB from me and fans from all over the world

This is priceless. How many other rock stars of the time would have storyboarded their own videos? That's the difference between the lucky amateur and the artist. I like the way she doesn't talk down to a child audience. And those props. Imagine what they would be worth if they cropped up on 'Antiques Roadshow'. Ah Kate, make the rumours true. We need more music from you.

wow she is sublime.She is absolutely incredible ,graceful and articulate,gosh she blows me away

I loved the pace of TV back then. Just a group of children sitting around listening to Kate talking passionately about her love of music. This is one of the best interviews with her. Simply because there is no pretence about the questions. Children just keeps things simple and it allows Kate to be herself. I learned more from this 7 minutes than most of her adult interviews combined. It's a shame it's not about 4 hours long. I could listen to Kate talking like this forever. As others have said, the children are transfixed because she is just so engaging and enthusiastic about everything she says. She still is to this day. She often says how lucky she has been to have the opportunities she has had. I would rather see it that we are all lucky to have been blessed by how remarkable she is, as a singer, songwriter and above all, as a person.

You would never see an "artist" like Madonna or Lady Gaga do a show like this. What a shame. It just goes to show how comfortable, confident, and well rounded Kate Bush is as a decent human being who never lost her sense of humility or let her ego get the better of her. Such honesty seems to be fleeting these days, or a little harder to find. Oh God, how I love this woman! Real class.

This is the best Kate Bush interview I've seen. I think the kids make her more relaxed and make her feel like she can connect with them. On other interviews I get the feeling she is being very polite with some of the questions she gets asked. Some of the hosts are so predictable. She's a real inspiration to anyone, especially children.

I think this is the best interview I've seen of her! Truly! She's totally at home with the kids.

What a wonderful little gem this is. I remember Razzmataz and dont recall it being this interesting. I was a huge Kate fan then and remain so now. Clever, classy lady. And this was broadcast on my 12th birthday. 40 in a few months. Oh Dear!!!!!!

What a true artist she is. I love her. Kate Bush,. You can see her just absorbing everything around her, being inspired by it . I miss her art.

She seems to be really keen on getting everyone in to her music. For that she is really a star that should be kept in our hearts and our minds.

Have always loved her as person and an artist a mystical enigma so pure.

Hey - I used to be one the children that went along to Razzmatazz in Newcastle! Unfortunately - Kate was never there when I went along and she WAS one of my favourite performers!! - Still is! - Keep up the good work Kate!

We were spoilt in the late 70's and early 80's with an abundance of credible artists such as Kate Bush, never a duff chart, and always something interesting and exciting to listen to. Sadly those days are long gone as are popular musicians of Kate's class, and not a facial piercing or tattoo to be seen, pure and utter class.

Love the way she talks to the kids...wish I was there ...they don't make em like this anymore

The days when the interviewer didn't think they were the focus of the interview a la Jonathan Ross, and made sure the interviewee was.

This is what KZfaq is for.We seriously need to archive this content.

i could spend all day listening to kate talk. Not just beautiful on the outside, but a humble, intelligent and genuine woman. thanks for posting this :)

Absolutely love this interview. It's one of the rare early Bush interviews where the interviewer seems genuinely interested and asks good questions, and Kate seems comfortable. Everyone seems so at ease and the kids are loving it. I think being in this relaxed environment helps relax Kate in a setting she is so uncomfortable in.

not only gorgeous on the outside but her inner beauty shines thru!

She's so lovely..

Holy smokes, has beauty and genius every combined in such quantity before!

She would be one of the sweetest elementary school teachers if she were.

I feel every single child who bore witness to Kate on that day is still mesmorized by her this day,... so special

This woman is amazing sounding as well as being unquestionably gorgeous.

When artists and singers had intellect. Kate is so coherent compared to many of today's chancers and egotists.

I love this video clip but would like to take the time to thank KZfaq for providing the platform to allow us to see it after all these years. It's easy to forget how amazing all of this is but, personally, I can't praise the uploaders of the videos enough for preserving history for future generations.

Yes, the kids are so silent & respectful, I think they are quietly inspired by what she is saying/showing - or just mesmerised like the rest of us

OMG! She's soooo cute. I'm a big Kate Bush fan, but I've never heard her talk before. I love her even more now. Such an endearing lady.

She is so wonderful and beautiful.

She has a beautiful accent! I love hearing her speak.

What a humble and erudite lady Kate Bush is. And why don't we have children's programming like this any more? If you get an interesting artist to talk about their work in an an open, non-patronising way, kids will hang on every word.

that so takes me back - I worked on all the Razzmatazz programmes. didn't realise at the time how lucky I was.

It's beautiful how she manage to put together music and videos! Very inspiring Kate!!! :)

a perfect example of when a grown up could talk to 10yr old kids. Now it's just grown ups who talk like 10yr olds when they're not ripping their knickers off

So sweet how all the kids are enraptured : )

I saw this when I was 18 and I have been a big fan ever since, 34 year to be exact.

Kate is achingly beautiful in every way so lovely and so charming

just the best ever, glad i got to see her live hammersmith 2014 best concert (performance) iv'e ever seen.

truly georgeous in every way.

anyone who doesn't realise how truly depressing the modern "celebrity culture" is should be made to watch this repeatedly until their head explodes.

Great artists inspire us to do great things. Thank you Kate :)

The story board she shows them is the one she used for the video of "Army Dreamers" Hence they cut to the video/music.

I cant believe that 6 people didn't like this interview..what is wrong with them ? Kate comes across so well, she is beautiful and talented

She is adorable. Just love her. A true artist xxx

an english rose

I would have been about the age of those kids when this interview was done, lucky little snots!

She's so gorgeous, I wish I was sitting there at that time. I hope those kids realize how lucky they were/are of seeing her in person at the top of her beauty and career.

Kate shows respect to the youth …. Gold dust….. youngsters are our future… 💯

This is how she looked when I met her (a few months before this I think). I got her autograph and a kiss. The autograph was lost long ago but the kiss is still with me!

I love the start "...Kate Bush" "YAAAAYY!" Lmao. Ahh you crazy kids. I love her wee voice, its lovely :) I also love how shes trying to dumb it down a bit, as you do for children, and she cant quite get it down enough. What a nice person

she has a beautiful mind. :)

Perfect women don't exist but Kate Bush is the nearest to perfection I've ever seen

on youtube you find the unexpected, i never lookt at a videos or performence of kate bush and now i am 52 years old . now i know what i have been missing all the time . THE MOST BRILLIANT PERFORMENCES I HAVE EVER SEEN RESPECT FOR KATE from now on i go and kollekt everything from kate bush. Unbelieveble, the greatest and most beautyfull person i have seen not only the outside but espesly the inside of her. i am dutch sorry for my english great GREAT THE GREATEST YES YES YES YES

She's so beautiful. In every way.

Kate Bush interview on ITV 'Razzamatazz' on 14 July 1981.

simply the most beautiful woman that has ever llived.

that book of story boards, it'd be worth a few pennys now.

Excellent example of UK children's television from the late 70's/80's - not sure if we have the equivalent today.

is it me or do young kids look really grown up when you see footage form years before??? they all seem so mature and focused! wish our kids were like that!♥

Love Kate Bush. I'm glad I grew up watching stuff like this, Rentaghost! Tony Heart, Swap Shop and the like and to great music and bands and the videos!

Beautiful Kate. Just wonderful.

Kate Bush is so elegant & pure class. She talks to the children like their her own. Thanks for sharing.

She is simply gorgeous

I used to listen to death metal when i was a kid, now i think i love Kate bush more

She was, is, and always will be a dream of mine. We can but dream.

I've been madly in love with that woman for 30 years

i think i was at this recording - we had a school trip to see the making of this programme, it was definatley the same year, but cant remember this interview being done, but i remember her performing a song(cant remember which) and i was stood not that far away from her, as i remember her being really small, which was strange as i was only 11 at the time!!!

The hottest woman in music ever!!! that was the days of real kids shows, were they sat and took notice of what was going on, and took inspiration. i wanna go back......

this really when she was at her most beautiful. i cant believe she wrote the dreaming in her early 20s. what a genius. I was 15 when i first heard it and kate was in her 30s which seemed ancient! and lovely kids in the clip.

the costumes Kate displays in the interview are from the Sat in your lap video...

This has been edited.She never mentioned me once in this version.

A good interview and I think she's great with kids and the kids are well behaved because they're so interested in Kate.I like the way she doesn't patronize them.

Lol never thought i'd see Kate putting a Dunce hat on a little kid hehe

The awkwardness is all in you. Kate and the kids were as relaxed in each other's company as kittens in a basket.

MY GOD SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND FEMINE.STUNNING !!!
