Shirley Collins, Emily Portman, Cath & Phil Tyler

Legendary folk singer Shirley Collins created the most unexpected wave of excitement in November by releasing Lodestar, her first album in 38 years on the influential Domino label. Growing up in Hastings, Sussex with her sister Dolly, Shirley was heavily involved in the early folk revival, recording the two seminal albums Sweet England and False True Lovers.

Her long awaited return to recording has produced on Lodestar, a collection of English and American songs dating from the 16th century to the 1950s. For this highly anticipated performance as part of the Folkworks Pass It On Festival, Shirley will be joined by her own band and the show will also feature special guest sets from among others, Emily Portman and Phil & Cath Tyler.
