Kate Bush
Kate Bush's Keyboards and Synthesizers
Kate's band can clearly be seen using the Roland JX-8P and its associated programming module, the PG-800, during this classic 1987 performance of 'Running Up That Hill' for the Secret Policeman's Third Ball, with David Gilmour on guitar.
This Sound On Sound article states: "The huge cost of the Fairlight CMI did not put the rich and famous off. Peter Vogel brought an early CMI to the UK in person, and one of the first people to get one was Peter Gabriel. Once UK distributor Syco Systems had been set up, the client list started to grow. John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) bought the first as a replacement for his Mellotron. He was soon followed by Kate Bush, Thomas Dolby, Geoff Downes, Queen, Keith Emerson, Alan Parsons, Stuart Copeland, JJ of Art of Noise, Trevor Horn and Frankie Goes To Hollywood, and many others."
