Vashti Bunyan: Just Another Diamond Day

Episode 3 of 4

How Vashti Bunyan came to write the songs for the album on a journey north in a Romany caravan to the Outer Hebrides.

Music journalist Pete Paphides reveals the stories and music behind some of the great albums which were never released.

After Vashti Bunyan tried and failed to secure herself a career as a willowy chanteuse, she left it all behind and moved to join her friend Donovan, who was in the process of setting up a commune in the Outer Hebrides. On her journey north in a Romany caravan, she wrote the songs which would surface in the late 1990s as Just Another Diamond Day.
