When Vashti Bunyan, a shy art-school droupout, tried to make it as a popstar in 1960s London, people just didn't get her music - or her. Disillusioned, she set off to Scotland on a horse and wagon. Along the way, she wrote songs of her extraordinary journey and in 1970 even recorded an album, Just Another Diamond Day. But when that flopped, she turned her back on music for good, vowing never to set foot in a studio again. Vashti thought her music was lost to history, but 30 years later, she discovered her album had become an underground hit.
