Born in 1945 and raised in London, singer-songwriter Vashti Bunyan released her debut album, Just Another Diamond Day, in 1970, inspired by a trip around the Hebrides in a horse-drawn cart. Initially overlooked, the album went on to be regarded as a classic. After stepping away from music for 30 years, Bunyan released Lookaftering in 2005 and Heartleap in 2014, and has collaborated with artists such as Joanna Newsom and Devendra Banhart. In 2022, she published the memoir Wayward: Just Another Life to Live. Vashti Bunyan plays In the Round festival at Roundhouse, London, on 20 April.
