Shirley Collins was at the epicentre of the folk music revival during the 1960s and 70s, before a vocal disorder robbed her of her uniquely ancestral singing voice.
Granted intimate access to recording sessions for her first new album in almost four decades, and making adventurous use of a motherlode of seminal archive audio, The Ballad of Shirley Collins chronicles one womans gallant battle to rise phoenix-like from long silent ashes.
