Virginia Astley was the topic on a Radio 6 show this Saturday just gone. The Stuart Maconie-presented Freakzone show had a segment called Specialist Corner featuring music writer Eddi Fiegel talking about Virginia’s work.

Apologies for not flagging this up on the site in time, but thanks to Mo who made a posting regarding the broadcast on the forum (which shows it pays to keep an eye on our dedicated message-board!).

The show appears to be scheduled for archiving so all is not lost yet. Additionally, the BBC 6 website had a condensed biography and discography on Virginia.
