'Magical and transporting . . . Wayward proves that Bunyan has
lived the best possible life, on her own idiosyncratic terms'
Maggie O'Farrell 'A gorgeous account of outsiderness and survival:
a map of how to live outside the boundaries and of striving for an
authentic artistic life. A quietly defiant and moving work' Sinead
Gleeson 'An epic in miniature . . . I loved - and lived - every
sentence' Benjamin Myers In 1968, Vashti Bunyan gave up everything
and everybody she knew in London to take to the road with a horse,
wagon, dog, guitar and her then partner. They made the long journey
up to the Outer Hebrides in an odyssey of discovery and heartbreak,
full of the joy of freedom and the trudge of everyday reality,
sleeping in the woods, fighting freezing winters and homelessness.
Along the way, Vashti wrote the songs that would lead to the
recording of her 1970's album Just Another Diamond Day, the lilting
lyrics and guitar conveying innocent wonder at the world around
her, whilst disguising a deeper turmoil under the surface. From an
unconventional childhood in post-war London, to a fledgling career
in mid-sixties pop - recording a single written by Mick Jagger and
Keith Richards - to the despair and failure to make any headway
with her own songs, she rejected the music world altogether and
left it all behind. After retreating to a musical wilderness for
thirty years, the rediscovery of her recordings in 2000 brought
Vashti a second chance to write, record and perform once more. One
of the great hippie myths of the 1960s, Wayward, Just Another Life
to Live, rewrites the narrative of a barefoot girl on the road to
describe a life lived at full tilt from the first, revealing what
it means to change course and her emotional struggle, learning to
take back control of her own life.
