CHRISTINE COLLISTER - Child of the Sea
Profisles
Thursday, 7 November 2024 - 53 minutes
Welcome to ProfIsles!
In this first episode, I have a lovely long chat with the effervescent singer songwriter and proud Manxie Christine Collister, who returned to live on her Island home during lockdown.
Far from just being about music, the conversation is about growth, creative development, courage and loss; it's about sisterhood and The Sea; but more than that, it's about Christine's intrinsic attachment and connection to her Island home, its fascinating folklore and its always alluring land and seascapes.
Having spent decades prior to lockdown travelling the world as an internationally respected performer - both in her own right but also alongside a host of critically acclaimed musical pals - being back here during such a strange time presented a number of challenges for her: the restrictions of being Island-bound, a sudden impact on her performing career but also, a very personal family challenge, as she watched her Mother succumb to the onset of dementia.
However, this time - and this Island - also presented brand new life changing opportunities for Christine, connections and creative inspirations which have led to the creation and release of her extraordinary new artistic endeavour 'Children of the Sea'.
