Kate Bush Hounds of Love for Harrogate Vinyl Sessions event

Part of the cover of Kate Bush's classic 1985 album Hounds of Love which is the focus of the next Harrogate Vinyl Sessions.

Taking place online from 7.30pm on Wednesday, June 3 to raise funds for Friends of Harrogate Hospital charity, Kate Bush and her multi-million selling album Hounds of Love will be in the spotlight.

Hounds of Love is the fifth studio album by English singer-songwriter and musician Kate Bush.

Originally released on September 16, 1985, it marked a return to the public eye for Bush and won her success in the USA after the relatively poor sales of her previous album, 1982's The Dreaming.

The album's lead track Running Up That Hill became one of Bush's biggest hits.

The album's first side produced three further successful singles Cloudbursting, Hounds of Love and The Big Sky.

The second side, subtitled The Ninth Wave, forms a conceptual suite about a person drifting alone in the sea at night.

The event starts at 7.30pm with organiser and MC Colin Paine followed by a full profile from our “Professor of Pop” Graham Chalmers along with some video action from Jim Dobbs during playback of the album in full about 8pm.

Between sides, there will be have a quick trip to Mike’s audio den!
