KATE BUSH

The eerily talented Kate Bush has a new - double - album out, Aerial.

I have lost no time ordering it.

All the press coverage shows her looking exactly as she did 28 years ago, arriving that wet Saturday morning for the Leicester Square press preview of an unlikely titled film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Of all the far-fetched tales I come up with involving well-known people whose paths I've crossed, the one I've given up sharing concerns sitting in a darkened room with the 18-year -old Miss Bush.

I hardly bothered recounting it 25 years ago, but now it just produces rolled eyes and disbelieving chuckles.

Anyway, the new album's out and I look forward to steeping myself in it.
