After a soggy day in Klaksvik we headed off down the fjord heading for the Shetlands. Goodbye green volcanic landscape!

Fabulous Judy Collins at the Cottingham Folk Festival

Posted on August 29, 2022August 29, 2022 by Opher

Judy is a legend. At 83 years of age, she is performing as well as ever. Her voice was perfect. With tales and jokes, she regaled the audience with a touch of class.

Judy goes back to the fabulous early sixties days of Greenwich Village, in the days of the young Bob Dylan, Tom Paxton, David Blue and Phil Ochs. She popularised the songs of Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell before they were heard of.

So great to see and hear this living legend in Cottingham! Better than ever!
