Judy Collins has thrilled audiences with her unique blend of interpretative folksongs and original compositions for nearly five decades.

Judy launched her recording career in 1961, interpreting the songs of fellow artists – particularly the social poets of the time such as Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs and Tom Paxton. In the later 60s, Collins explored the works of artists as diverse as The Beatles, Jacques Brel and Kurt Weil. She also received her first Grammy for her interpretation of Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now.

By the 70s, Judy’s range of material included traditional hymns such as Amazing Grace and Broadway hits like Send in the Clowns as well as her own compositions including Born to the Breed.

Judy has continued an impressive musical career with an extensive catalogue from every decade from the 60s up to the present. She is still recording and delighting music audiences all over the world. Don’t miss this chance to see this extraordinary performer.
