'Collins' banjo playing reflected the Appalachian music she adored, revealing early on how traditional songs crash and lull across the Atlantic and back again, their edges altered in fascinating ways.'

Amazing to hear #ShirleyCollins remembering hiding under a hedge to avoid being machine gunned by a German war plane during WW2. Her grandpa sang folk songs to comfort her during raids, sparking a lifelong passion. #DesertIslandDiscs
