Under the Ivy Audiobook Summary
In this updated edition of Graeme Thomson’s critically acclaimed biography, a near-exhaustive survey of Kate Bush’s life surveys everything from her upbringing in South London to her stunning return to live performance in August 2014.
The original edition of Under the Ivy was called one of the best music biographies ever, and this updated edition adds a wealth of new research to include the complete scope of Bush’s oeuvre. With over seventy new interviews and in-depth analysis of her triumphant return to the stage after thirty-five years, this is the most complete Kate Bush biography and a must for any fan.
Detailing everything from her upbringing to her early exposition of talent to her subsequent evolution into one of the most stunningly creative and fascinating visual and musical artists alive today, Under the Ivy truly is the story of one woman’s life. This is in no way a superficial rumor-mill, however, as Thomson writes with great detail, accuracy, and above all admiration for her work, this is in equal parts a biography and an analysis of Kate Bush’s art.
Focusing on her unique working methods, her studio techniques, her timeless albums, and inescapable influence, Under the Ivy is a true exploration of one of the world’s most underappreciated yet gifted artists. Eminently readable, this book will be an eye-opening journey of discovery for somebody unfamiliar with Bush but will also reward a long-term fan with new insights and fresh analysis

Under the Ivy Audiobook Narrator
Mia Hutchinson-Shaw is the narrator of Under the Ivy audiobook that was written by Graeme Thomson
Mia Hutchinson-Shaw (she/her/hers) is a queer actor based in NYC. Mia creates soulful, saucy, and lovable characters with her arsenal of accents and flare for the fun. She trained in the UK at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, earning a BA in acting with honors, and was raised between Massachusetts and Montana by a ceramics artist and woodworker who moonlight as professors. She crafts narration and characters with lots of heart and big appetites for adventure. When not working as an actor, Mia is thrifting for her next outrageous, colorful clothing item, getting on her soap box about low-waste living, or hunting down handmade jewelers for a new item for her collection of giant earrings. Her favorite is a pair of hot pink Galahs (a bird from Australia). Her favorite genres to narrate are YA, middle grade, romance, classics (give her that chewy language!), fantasy, and LGBTQIA+.
