Shirley Collins was a star folksinger in the 1960s singing on, among other things, the iconic 'Red Roses' album with The Albion Band. She lost her voice in 1982 and only this year, at the age of 81, has returned to performing with her new album Lodestar.

Multi award winning singer songwriter Laura Mvula talked about tracks on her new album, The Dreaming Room.
