The Strange World Of... Shirley Collins | The Quietus
"Are you telling me you’re secretly naughty, Jude?" Turning 88 in July, and releasing her third album in seven years this month, Shirley Collins is in an impish mood. This is standard. We’re discussing the rebelliousness at the heart of her life as a carrier and disseminator of traditional songs; many of them are repositories of naughtiness themselves.

Quarehawk, by Michael Walsh
“Quarehawk” was a phrase used by my father Patrick Walsh, who came to England from Carnacon, County Mayo, Ireland in 1957. It can mean many things. Crafty, clever, dangerous, a bit odd, a bit strange. It can be a compliment, a slight, a warning or a term of endearment. It’s a phrase that seems to have been lost. I feel a great affinity to the concept. Often, I would be in the middle of something but always felt on the edge. The set of three jigs I wrote in tribute to my children and wife.

The Ballad Of Shirley Collins
2016 was an annus mirabilis for Shirley Collins. Her first album in 38 years, Lodestar, was issued on Domino to universal acclaim. Earth curated Shirley Inspired – a 3LP tribute album featuring the great and good of the international folk scene. Building on that wave of interest, the following year saw Earth’s sister company, Fire Films – in tandem with film-makers Rob Curry and Tim Plester – release this moving documentary on the grand dame of English folk.
