He is the older brother of singer-songwriter, musician, and a record producer for Kate Bush and his best-known works are his collaborations with her on all of her studio albums up to the 2005 release Aerial.[2]
Bush often plays standard Western instruments such as the guitar, mandolin, and harmonica, along with non-western instruments, such as the balalaika, sitar, koto, and digeridoo. Bush is the sole European musician who has mastered the playing and making of the marovany, a traditional Malagasy instrument related to the valiha. He undertook a number of extensive trips to Madagascar for filming and radio recording purposes.
On one of the trips to Madagascar, Bush presented the widely screened television documentary Like a God When He Plays which also features popular Malagasy musician Justin Vali. In 1993, Bush collaborated with Colin Lloyd-Tucker to form the band Bushtucker.[3]
