Homeground 75. The Spring 2005 issue. The 75th issue! Krys says "Thanks to everyone who has stayed with us in the quiet times and continued to support us and the magazine. Big hugs." As well as the usual comprehensive news round-up the issue features more poetry including pieces by Kate's brother John Carder Bush, a review of the recent highly successful Kate tribute night at Duckies, reviews of the Waiting For Kate Bush book, some ghostly and seductive fiction, a piece on the latest CD and DVD audio technology which might possibly be utilised for future KB releases and more.

HomeGround 74. The Summer 2004 Issue. The highlight of this issue is an exclusive 7-page interview with John Carder Bush, Kate's brother, that he & Krys did in June & July. It is absolutely wonderful & a must for all Kate fans. Krys asked John about the Cathy book, his photography, the KT Bush Band, his poetry, his influences, inspirations & heaps of other stuff. This issue has something of a Cathy theme, as you will see, and we think it is something quite special. We also have a wonderful article by Colin Lloyd Tucker about his new album Fear of Flying and the influences behind it. He takes us on a dreamy, atmospheric step into the past, to the places where his music came from. There's a great article by writer and poet Collin Kelley on the late artist Edward Gorey, and we have several poems by Collin too. Keeping with the Cathy theme, Thom Penman has written a beautiful Cathy-inspired story, especially illustrated by Debi. And there is an interesting look at Kate's early demos by Andrew Marvick. Mix all this together with a pinch of the Gothic and some amazing pieces of artwork by Debi and Neil.

HomeGround 73. The Spring 2004 Issue. The issue includes some great poetry courtesy of John Carder Bush (Kate's brother) as well as several readers. There's a wonderful story by Thom Penman, a review of the book Starter For Ten (its author David Nicholls writes about his Kate influences for this issue too). There's a report on the Glastonbury 2003 gathering and pictures of the now-famous mini cloudbuster! Birgitte contributes a comprehensive look at Kate's famous 1978 De Efteling TV special in the Netherlands, there's a look at links between Kate's work and classical painting, a fun tongue-in-cheek quiz and all the usual news, letters and artwork - do not miss!

HomeGround 72. The Summer 2003 Issue. The lead news item is the editor's belief that "the long wait for the new album may finally be coming to an end. This issue is dedicated to Kate fan and dear friend to Homeground Sarah-Jane Mackenzie, who passed away last December. This issue has part two of the Designers guide to Kate by Neil Sheriff, some really good photos, a very funny "Do's & Don'ts of Kate Fans" brought to us by the creators of cult classic "The Pink Mules" (!) and lots more articles, letters and poetry - and of course all the latest Kate news round ups.

HomeGround 71. The Winter 2002 Issue. The usual round up of latest news, part two of Peter's excellent article about The Dreaming album and also many other reader's thoughts on Kate's 1982 masterpiece (including HomeGrounds very own Dave Cross), an interview with David Haughton, director of many Lindsay Kemp shows, an interview with Kate regular Kevin McAlea, and a beautiful short story by Jeanette. Debi Bowes again excels herself with great artwork. Readers are asked to please help with articles and suggestions for features etc, as Krys says: "we need you!!"

HomeGround 70. The Summer 2002 Issue. It's 20 years since the release of The Dreaming album (hence the cover image), and the magazine marks the occasion with a look back at the effect the album has had over the years by several readers. The issue also includes an interview with Charlie Morgan, all the latest news including reviews of the Norwich tribute show, the second part of  the piece on Kate's literary influences and all the usual content that's helped the magazine keep going for 70 issues now!

HomeGround 69. The Spring 2002 Issue. The big story is of course Kate's live appearance with David Gilmour. Also featured is an interview with Simon Drake, Kate's magician from the 1979 Tour Of Life, an article on The Big Sky video shoot and a piece on Kate and the narrative tradition, among other interesting features, as well as the usual thorough news round up and reader's letters.

HomeGround 68. The Winter 2001 Issue.  The News pages are a-buzz with recent Kate happenings; both the Q Classic Songwriter award and the very high placing in the Q Women In Rock poll. Latest news round up including work on the digital remasters, plus the usual great artwork, articles, and readers letters. Articles include a study of Kate as a poet, "Just One Kate Song" - reader's select one song with special meaning to them, plus other nostalgia and discussion.

HomeGround 67. The Summer 2001 issue. Though this remains a quiet time, the issue contains the latest news on new material and on the reissues. Louise Halliday, who performed Babooshka on "Stars in Their Eyes" has written an article about her experience. The issue includes some terrific new artwork - three new pieces from Debi Bowes, and one each from Pauline Stuckey and Steven Brown. Reader's Kate memories, an essay on Kate and the Romantics and the essential Five Years Ago are some of the features fans can look forward to.

HomeGround 66. The Winter 2000 issue reports on the latest album developments, the likely release dates for the remastered CDs and of course the news of Kate's announcement of her son, Bertie. Also the new edition includes another excellent article by Paddy Bush on his travels and impressions of Madagascar.

Homeground 65 (Summer 2000) contained news about the remastering of the remainder of Kate's albums, and the new Justin Vali album produced by Paddy Bush. We're very pleased to say that Paddy has written an article for this issue dealing with his work in the world music area, and particularly the new Justin Vali album.
