What a great interview! Dana is so great with all her stories. Great attitude to life. Such fun. Always loved her recording of Andy Warhol. She truly is The Great Dana Gillespie.

Fascinating interview, so much new information. I met Dana and Angie briefly at Radio Sheffield when they were doing a promotional tour for Dana’s single “ Dizzy Heights”. The culture shift Bowie and crew initiated changed the world. Sadly we’re sliding back.

I randomly saw Dana last night performing at the Blues Kitchen Shoreditch, what a blessing and honor. I looked for any interview I could find with her, this is brilliant, what an icon and living legend. ❤
