Virginia Lillye - A tribute
On Sunday 19th October 2025, I got word that Virginia Lillye lost her 2 year battle with cancer.
Virginia was a powerhouse on stage but more so a beacon of hope and positivity off it, which makes it that more difficult to believe she is no longer with us.
In tribute, I want to share with you the parts of her life that she shared with me for this podcast.
She made a couple of appearances on the show. The first one being in September 2020 which that conversation became episode 98 of the Gig Life Podcast.
The 2nd time was in 2021 when she shared 4 gig stories which 2 of them featured in the A Few Gig Tales series.
Im going to play all of that in its entirety here today. First up is the 2020 interview and directly after that is all 4 of her gig stories, so stick around till the end.
For those that knew her, I hope you get comfort from hearing her voice, and for those of you who didnt, her spirit is well and truely alive here. Here infectious laugh, her knack of telling a great story, and of course her positivity.
We have lost a giant.
Rest in love Virginia Lillye ❤️
