Having influenced many generations since the release of her debut album in 1970 Vashti Bunyan has remained a key symbol of the left-field folk scene (both Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom cite Vashti as a key influence) while simultaneously disappearing off the face of the musical planet for over thirty years. more
