'..so much soul you think she'd been signed by Motown' - Q For more than 15 years Christine Collister's powerful voice of rare quality has sparkled effortlessly across a musical spectrum of soul, blues, pop, jazz, country and folk '..boundary breaking is routine for Collister and makes her one of the finest grown-up vocalists on the planet' - Q

Her previous solo albums have seen her convincingly interpret Smoky Robinson, Nick Drake, Robert Wyatt, Tom Waits and Lal Waterson, amongst others - whilst with every year her own compositions have developed a distinctive quality - one which always makes a very personal statement. Christine Collister grew up on 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 also featured as a session singer on albums by Loudon Wainwright III and Bert Jansch. She 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.
Christine Collister's solo endeavours now account for a far greater proportion of her career since going solo in 1992. Her first solo tour of the UK took place in 1994 and she returned to the Isle of Man to record her debut solo album, Live, releasing a much praised eponymously titled album.
Subsequent albums which include The Dark Gift of Time and The Blue Aconite, (Fledgling) have only served to increase her stature at home and abroad. Her latest album, 'An Equal Love' is getting rave reviews in the press. Christine Collister has become a familiar name on 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 phenomenal live act.
