Kate Bush 'Babooshka' - June 1980
Directed by Keef Macmillan.
I don't know where this video was shot; I suspect it was filmed, like some of her others, at either Blanford W10 or Ewart studios. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know.

Though there were a couple of new @KateBushMusic books published last year, I cannot find any from this year.
With plenty of scope to explore, are authors waiting for a new album, or perhaps waiting for that unique idea?
I discuss my theories:

The building at 41-44 Great Windmill Street, Soho, London was once home to the studio of photographer Gered Mankowitz, where, on the 3rd floor of the building, he first photographed Kate Bush.
He was commissioned by EMI to provide some shots for Kate's first single and album.

For all you Kate Bush fans, I thought I'd share this page with you: iconiclicensing.net/archive/…
It has some fantastic shots of Kate taken during her sessions with Gered Mankowitz in 1978/79 and includes a number of Gered's contact sheets with loads of images I've never seen before!

I've not been able to share anything on X because of copyright, but do take a look!
If you type 'Kate Bush' in the search bar, you'll also find a number of contact sheets for Kevin Cummins, who photographed Kate in 1989 and at the Manchester Apollo during her '79 tour!
