Suzanne Vega (the B-Side)

Following on from the A-side of this two-part programme, now the audience get to ask Suzanne Vega the questions about her platinum-selling Solitude Standing.

We hear how the sound of the album changed from her previous album, as Suzanne decided to bring out the drums and give the sound an edge.

Suzanne describes writing the song "Gypsy" for a boy she met at summer camp and how the two of them got back in touch when he realised the song was about him.

And we hear how Suzanne has written a follow-up song to the album's hit song "Luka".

With John Wilson.
