Sadly Kate appears to have written that song out of her history (it wasn’t included on The Other Sides). Presumably because the real Ken made some perceived anti-semitic comments, and also because Kate was concerned that those not aware of the GLC film would think it was an indication of her political leanings (and after the Theresa May business, she wasn’t going to risk that).
When Kate met Delia. Of course she was a veggie long before it was cool.

'Sunset' live was such a joy, Kate couldn't help but dance and swish around the stage.
A Sky Of Honey is just so glorious from start to finish. I can only listen to it in its entirety in one sitting. It’s so perfect.
Forgot to post my Oz chart flops blog 1990 recap from May here... if you're interested in reading about Kate's general floppage on the Australian singles charts (beyond her 5 top 10 hits), in particular 'Love and Anger':

Interesting. Love and Anger wasn’t a great song anyway, and I think only a single everywhere else because the US liked it and released it first, so there was a ready-made video for it. In the UK it barely scraped the top 40, peaking at 38.
I’d say it’s one of her most forgettable singles. Kate herself said it nearly didn’t make the album as she didn’t know what she wanted to say in it, or what it was about. It was only when musicians such as Dave Gilmour came in to play on it that it came to life. I don’t skip songs on albums, but I come close with that song.
It said at the end of the bit on Kate that she would be next seen in 1994, but I thought Rocket Man did well in Australia in 1991/92?
I adore “Love & Anger”. It’s a highlight of The Sensual World for me
Excellent song.
I like 'Love and Anger' but (unpopular opinion alert) it should have ended about 2+ minutes before it actually does.
While I like Peter Gabriel, and don't begrudge Kate taking influence from his music, it's got that typical Peter Gabriel 'let's extend the outro forever/until this runs to over 5-6 minutes long' (yes, I know 'Love and Anger' isn't quite that long) song structure. See 'Rubberband Girl', 'The Big Sky', 'Deeper Understanding', 'Heads We're Dancing', 'Cloudbusting' and (brace yourself) 'Running Up That Hill' for other examples. They'd all be better songs in my opinion if they ended at least a minute before they actually do.
Don't bore us - we've already had the chorus?

I do get what you mean in that respect, sometimes a minute or two shorter taken of a song, can make the difference.
I love all those songs exactly as they are
If I only could, I'd make a deal with God, and ask for a radio edit.
We'd be Running Up That Hill, only shorter.

Yeah, it does go on a bit too much for my liking. I made a Kate compilation a while back and snipped about a minute each out of "Running Up That Hill" and "Cloudbusting".
The NOW 1985 10th Anniversary set has a very slightly edited version, cropping off about 15 seconds.
Perhaps your finest ever post this.
I loveeeee an extended outro, y'all are heathens!
I say this with love, but get an attention span!
Yes but think of your calves.
