LEGENDARY folk singer Christine Collister, one of the great stars of the folk music scene for 40 years, has a new show featuring a collection of songs called Children of the Sea

Over her four decades in folk music, Christine has released 24 albums, a DVD celebrating 20 years in the business and an acclaimed single with the BBC, the theme tune for “The Life and Loves of a She-Devil” in 1987.

Throughout, she has consistently mesmerised and delighted audiences with her unique blend of soul, blues, pop, jazz, country and folk, and today she remains as powerful, subtle, effortless and relevant as ever.

Collister grew up on the Isle of Man, and her professional recording career began after she moved to the UK in the mid 1980s, when she came to national attention singing the theme for the BBC Television adaptation of Fay Weldon’s novel, The Life and Loves Of A She Devil. She had a long period of critical and commercial success working with Clive Gregson, followed by an enduring association with Richard Thompson.

See and hear her at Chapel Arts in Bath on 11th September, Under the Edge Arts in Gloucestershire on 27th or Hanger Farm at Totton near Southampton on Sunday 28th September.
