Always the first name on our guest list, he has attended all but two of Bedworth's folk festivals, and we certainly don’t intend to let him miss any in the future! Johnny Collins, a native of the county of Norfolk but now based in London, England, is a well traveled performer with a vast and varied repertoire. An internationally acclaimed performer and recording artist, Johnny has organised Folk clubs and topped the bill in concerts around the world since the mid-fifties: his vigorous style and his supreme ability to persuade audiences to join in choruses is unrivalled. Johnny is a familiar and welcome figure at many of the world's foremost maritime venues and festivals, and has guested regularly in the U.S.A. and was resident shantyman at Expo '88 in Brisbane, Australia. Regular forays into Europe continue to be part of Johnny's yearly itinerary. He has been a main guest at the annual Liereliet at the Strontrace in Workum, Netherlands for the past 21 years. He also sings regularly in Belgium, Brittany, Germany, Holland, Poland and France. | |||||||||
