Shirley Elizabeth Collins MBE (born 5 July 1935) is an English folk singer who was a significant contributor to the British Folk Revival of the 1960s and 1970s. She often performed and recorded with her sister Dolly, whose accompaniment on piano and portative organ created unique settings for Shirley’s plain, austere singing style.

Amaranth is an album by English folk singer Shirley Collins. It was released on Harvest Records in 1976. One side is new material, paired with a reissue of “A Song Story (Medley)” from Anthems in Eden on side 2.
