Waited for over 30 years to see her and then spoke with Judy in the signing tent. Simply memorable.

Hans Fried
Thanks for refreshing happy memories ofJudy in the sixties. My spirit was in Cambridge. Now we are in our sixties and your still here. Wow!

Rosie Herring
The performance was magical and pure gold. Most people in the audience were moved to tears, men and women! Please could the BBC broadcast the whole set.

I did see Judy Collins in the 60s, when I was a teenager at the Newport Folk Festival - and now she and I are both IN our 60s. My heart almost burst when I saw her come out, looking even more vibrant now than she did then - and sounding every bit as fabulous. Her music is part of the soundtrack of my life. It was a privilege to see this performance - she's magnificent.

David Buckler
She was amazing, voice as good as ever, if not better, with everyone singing in tune to Amazing Grace at the end, a real moment! Great to be there.

I grew up listening to my mother's Judy Collins albums and seeing her at Cambridge was surreal. She moved me to tears..

This was one of those occasions in life when you get a real sense of the passage of time. Anyone that has seen Judy perform these songs as a young women in the 60's will have felt this

Judy Collins. First time I'd seen her live (it's been a long wait). Fascinating stories, I could have listened all evening.Such a pure singing voice. True class.
