Under the Ivy: The Life & Music of Kate Bush
Under the Ivy examines Bush’s unconventional upbringing in South London, the blossoming of her talent, and her evolution into one of the most visually and sonically creative artists of the past four decades. Graeme masterfully weaves over 70 new interviews with those close to both the public artist and the private woman into his narrative. He grants unprecedented insight into Kate’s unique working methods, her pioneering use of the studio on landmark albums such as hounds of Love, her rejection of live performance, her key relationships and her profound influence on successive generations of musicians. The result is a detailed and utterly absorbing biography of Kate Bush, written with wit, style and substance. Under The Ivy is the definitive and updated account of the life and music of one of the world’s most gifted, private and often misunderstood artists.
Cracking Up
For Lily Francis, coming to terms with a broken marriage, children going their separate ways and the dole queue beckoning is hard enough. But when the landlords want the flat you've been renting for 25 years - the only stable thing in your life - the term 'midlife crisis' takes on a whole new meaning. Now a reluctant 'born-again singleton' Lily, an impoverished antiques dealer, and struggling freelance journalist, begins to rebuild her life and attempts to start again. If only her once successful husband hadn't dragged out the divorce she would have been self-supportive and the family silver might not have ended up on Bermondsey market! "Cracking up" is humorous, touching and entertaining and will appeal to anyone, male or female, who has had to start again from the bottom - older, alone and flat broke - there are many out there!

David Bowie's Low
"One day I blew my nose and half my brains came out." Los Angeles, 1976. David Bowie is holed up in his Bel-Air mansion, drifting into drug-induced paranoia and confusion. Obsessed with black magic and the Holy Grail, he's built an altar in the living room and keeps his fingernail clippings in the fridge. There are occasional trips out to visit his friend Iggy Pop in a mental institution. His latest album is the cocaine-fuelled Station To Station (Bowie: "I know it was recorded in LA because I read it was"), which welds R&B rhythms to lyrics that mix the occult with a yearning for Europe, after three mad years in the New World. Bowie has long been haunted by the angst-ridden, emotional work of the Die Brucke movement and the Expressionists. Berlin is their spiritual home, and after a chaotic world tour, Bowie adopts this city as his new sanctuary. Immediately he sets to work on Low, his own expressionist mood-piece.
