This is great. One of the greatest voices of folk music ever. Her most recent album was one of the best things to come out last year. And she seems like such sweet person.
Hey Myke, couldn't agree more. Her album Lodestar was my favourite from last year. Obviously your aware of the stuff she's recorded with Current 93? But have you heard Morris ON with Richard & Linda Thompson, Ashley Hutchings, Dave Mattacks, John Kirkpatrick and Barry Dransfield? It's brilliant and really funny in a dark kind of wy too, check it out. Cheers James
I am not a big fan of folk music and with 22 years I am quite young but the way she spoke and how she told her stories was just so fascinating. I could have listened to her the whole day. I hope that one day I will be as experienced and interesting as her. Thanks vice
It's an aquired taste folk. Talks of our past, our history and lifestyle. As a child I'd loved the songs in rounds, sea shanty and voices looming, often booming in our House, what's not to love. I do love folk, I have grown with it, it is a loving music, love it, it will undoubtedly love you back, more.
To John Doran, please interview David Tibet for one of these segments or indeed any of the seminal members of the English avant-garde movement - Current 93, Nurse With Wound, TG, sadly no-one from the first line up of Coil is alive but you could try Thigh Paul Sandra.
What a lovely pleasant lady. We need more women like her in the music industry. Currently the commercial music industry is full of dumb narcissistic talentless twerkers with selfie sticks.
This is a beautiful interview. I stumbled on it by chance and could have listened to her all day.
I love her voice more now. There is an absence of older voices everywhere and we feel the lack, i think.

she is .
"The album has quite a high death toll". Also, Collins' honesty and humility about the end of her relationship is remarkable
Listen to Folk roots, new routes, Shirley Collins and Davy Graham, and The Sweet Primroses by Shirley Collins, and Sweet England by Shirley Collins.
