Hi Yvonne. Yes, some of us have known about Delia for a long time (I wrote about her contribution to the White Noise album last year) but her impact is rarely acknowledged. As I noted then, her realisation of Ron Grainer’s Doctor Who theme would for many people have been their first exposure to electronic music. The Radiophonic Workshop had a number of female technicians and composers, some of whom are catalogued here.
