My guest this week is Astrid Williamson
Astrid was the singer and guitarist in Goya Dress (which also featured previous guest Terry de Castro on bass) whose 1996 album Rooms was produced by John Cale.
Since then, she has released nine solo albums, as well as collaborating with artists such as Arthur Baker, Dead Can Dance, Electronic and The Stereophonics.
Astrid was - as Terry suggested she would be - a hoot, and we had tremendous fun recording this!
