"our nearest
star"
Shirley Collins has been one of our dearest
friends and loyal supporters ever since Fledg'ling Records began in 1994. We are
thrilled beyond words that she has returned to recording after 38 years. Lodestar is released today, Friday 4th
November, on the Domino label. It is an absolutely wonderful album - austere,
full of foreboding and stunningly beautiful. Undoubtedly one of the finest
recordings of the year.
“… picking her
way back across almost a century, finding for herself
the traditional heart of each song… What comes through
is sincerity, purity of instinct, and a tremendous
depth of feeling.” Alan Lomax
Fledg'ling has helped to keep much of Shirley's back
catalogue in print over the past twenty years. During November we are
celebrating the release of Lodestar with some special offers. The perfect
opportunity to fill the gaps in your music collection, or to give as splendid
gifts for friends:
During November these early Shirley albums are priced at
only £6.00
each:
