   About Del Palmer






Most of you will already know of my involvement as musician and studio engineer with Kate Bush. It has been, from an artistic point of view, an incredibly fruitful liaison for me. I feel privileged to have had a front row seat to watch a true artiste create so many musical masterpieces.

It started with the "pub" band called the KT Bush Band in 1977. Right from the the beginning we were doing embryonic versions of songs which would appear on Kate's first album such as James and the Cold Gun. We had a stage presentation which would later form the basis for the Tour of Life in 1979. I recall we did a presentation gig for EMI at a London club called The White Elephant. This was so they could see how she was progressing as a performer. We did a short set of her songs and EMI loved it. However, it proved to be the end of the KT Bush Band as, shortly after, Kate went into the studio to record her first album.

By early 1978 we had a small studio where Kate would be able to record her demo's for the Lionheart album. As no one wanted to do the recording it fell to me and, as they say, the rest is history. I have been involved as recording engineer from the Hounds of Love album onwards. I have never had any formal training as an engineer but I like to think that I have a good "feel" for the job.

During my early forays into engineering I was given valuable help and advice by some wonderful engineers particularly Paul Hardiman. "Hardman" was so supportive of my getting involved and was never precious about what he did. He would always answer any question I had and give me practical tips. I had some great laughs with Paul.

Since those days I have worked almost exclusively with Kate as musician and engineer... Although there have been many other projects my work with Kate has been my most fruitful...

TOO LATE

Too late maybe too late to say
Oh I love you
Part of me is hanging around
I want to hear you
I want to hear you say it
That it's too late now
Waking up all those feelings
They are better left
No I'll never ever believe it's true

Endless dreams,
There's nothing left to say
It's all been said
Broken dreams,
There's nothing more
That I can do about it now

Oh, no matter how hard I try
I just can't keep
My head above water
A drowning man
It's too late you see
It's been worrying me
Oh, no matter which way I turn
I just can't keep my feet
And I stumble
It's unknown ground
This road I see
It's been changing me

Is it too late baby
Too late to say
Oh I need you here and now
Whatever the weather
I'll never be free
I'll never be free of you
And that's what stings
Re-living all those moments
They are never gone
They just come back to haunt me

Hi Del,
As I've always been a huge fan of your playing and you were gracious enough to share a pic of your '61 Jazz with me, I thought I'd send you a pic of my newest bass.  It's a 2001 Fender Standard Jazz Bass (aka a Mexican Jazz), but this time I went for a fretless model.  As a humble working class musician I didn't have a lot to spend, but I found this beauty and she plays like a dream.  I've only had her 3 days now, but I can't put her down.  It's been a while since I've been this inspired by one of my basses and I just had to share with you.  I've wanted to try a fretless for years, but thought it would just be too hard to learn.  Now that I've tried it, I don't know if I can go back to a fretted bass.  I've been listening to some of your fretless playing on my Kate Bush albums and I'm even more inspired.  I just can't stop smiling.  I think I'm in love.  Anyway, here she is.  Have a great week, Del.
Roger

Magick is in the air!



It is a magical interval when the mundane laws of time
and space are temporarily suspended, and the Thin Veil between the
worlds is lifted. Communicating with ancestors and departed loved ones
is easy at this time, for they journey through this world on their way
to the Summerlands.



Wishing you a blessed Samhain Del



Love & Blessings Raine x
