Biography
Aspinall is a classically trained violinist, having graduated from the Royal College of Music, London, in the late 1970s.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
She was a member of Jam Today, a part of the Women's Music Movement that developed in the late 1970s, playing a hybrid of jazz and rock similar in approach to groups like Henry Cow.[3]
She joined the Raincoats after she noticed an advertisement which read "female musician wanted - strength not style" in radical bookshop Compendium in Camden Town.[4] She has been credited, by Gina Birch of the Raincoats, with making the band more aware of feminist ideas.[5] Aspinall and Birch later formed the band Dorothy which was subsequently signed by Geoff Travis to Chrysalis Records.
