    An oral history of a day in the short life of musician Jeff Buckley... A day in London begins with a memorable photo shoot in the morning. In the afternoon, a radio performance stuns the DJ and her audience. Then, that night after two concerts, one planned and one improvised, his legend had begun to be written. It’s a story told by the people who were there, manager Dave Lory, booking agent Emma Banks, photographer Kevin Westenberg and tour manager Steve Abbott. Featuring exclusive interview and music recordings featuring Jeff Buckley.

    Produced by Alan Hall, a Falling Tree production for BBC Radio Four.

    Note: This episode originally aired on July 25, 2014.
