Description

Christine?s career now spans an incredible 37 years! Over that bridge of time she has released 24 albums ? a DVD celebrating 20 years in the business and a single with the BBC : the theme tune for ?The Life and Loves of a She-Devil? in 1984. 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 and effortless as ever.

Over the course of her career Christine has become a familiar name on the UK ?live? scene and at all major festivals from Glastonbury to Winnipeg to Cambridge. With a gravity defying voice, assured and impressive live performances and great personal charm she is a magical live performer.

Solo albums recorded over the past decade or so have seen her convincingly interpret Smoky Robinson, Nick Drake, Robert Wyatt, Tom Waits, Paul Simon, U2 and Lal Waterson, amongst many others ? whilst her own self penned or cowritten compositions have developed in depth and expression.

Christine Collister hails from the tiny Celtic nation of the Isle of Man. Her professional recording career began in the mid 1980?s but she first came to national attention singing the 1987 theme for the BBC Television series The Life and Loves Of A She Devil. Following a fruitful association with The Richard Thompson Band, Christine enjoyed a period of critical and commercial success in a seven-year partnership with Clive Gregson. She also toured and recorded with the female super group Daphne?s Flight.
