Christine Collister

Music Doors: 7:15 pm Show Starts: 8:00 pm

Advance Price: £17

Touring for the first time
in four years, Christine will be performing songs from the “Children of the Sea”
project along with a selection of old favourites.
 

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 mesmerised 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 including
major international festivals from Glastonbury to Cambridge, Winnipeg to Port
Fairey.

“A voice
personally delivered by God” – 
The Times

Collister has a killer voice. As full as Dusty Springfield or as blue as Alison
Moyet
