‘..boundary breaking is routine for Collister and makes her one of the finest grown-up vocalists on the planet…’ – Q

Christine’s career now spans an incredible 40 years.Over that bridge of time she 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 mesmerized and astounded 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 1980’s, when she
came to national attention singing the theme for the BBC Television series The
Life and Loves Of A She Devil. A period of great critical and commercial
success when working with Clive Gregson was followed by a fruitful and enduring
association with Richard Thompson.

Christine is a magical live performer, with her gravity
defying voice, assured and impressive live performances and great personal
charm has become a familiar and popular name on the‘live’ scene includingmajor international festivals from
Glastonburyto Cambridge, Winnipeg to
