“This is another centuries old song,” says Collins. “It reminds me of a wonderful scene in Ingmar Bergman’s ‘The Seventh Seal’ where, on a wild, lonely beach a knight plays a game of chess with Death – which of course he can’t win.”

The tracklisting for Lodestar is:

Awake Awake – The Split Ash Tree – May Carol – Southover
The Banks of Green Willow
Cruel Lincoln
Washed Ashore
Death And the Lady
Pretty Polly
Old Johnny Buckle
Sur le Borde de l’Eau
