Shirley Collins
Shirley Collins is a revered figure in English folk music, known for her clear, unadorned singing style and deep connection to traditional British songs. Born in Sussex in 1935, she played a major role in the folk revival of the 1950s and '60s, often working alongside her sister, the singer and song collector Dolly Collins. Shirley's work is celebrated for preserving ancient ballads and rural English music, and she’s been instrumental in bringing this rich tradition to new audiences.
After stepping away from performing for several decades, Shirley Collins made a remarkable comeback in the 2010s, releasing critically acclaimed albums like Lodestar (2016), Heart's Ease (2020), and Archangel Hill (2023). Her later work shows the same commitment to folk heritage with a voice that carries decades of lived experience. A true cultural treasure, Collins has inspired generations of folk musicians and remains one of the most respected voices in the genre.
