Edwyn Collins - Music Genres

Edwyn Stephen Collins (born 23 August 1959, Edinburgh) is an Ivor Novello Award winning Scottish musician, playing mostly electric guitar-driven pop.

Alternative rock (also called alternative music, alt-rock or simply alternative) is a genre of rock music that emerged in the 1980s and became widely popular in the 1990s. Alternative rock consists of various subgenres that have emerged from the independent music scene since the 1980s, such as grunge, Britpop, gothic rock, and indie pop. These genres are unified by their collective debt to the style and/or ethos of punk rock, which laid the groundwork for alternative music in the 1970s. At times alternative rock has been used as a catch-all phrase for rock music from underground artists in the 1980s, and all music descended from punk rock (including punk itself, New Wave, and post-punk).

Edwyn Collins is still on the road to recovery, and Edwyn Collins has returned to singing live, including playing a gig at The Arts Theatre in London. A tribute song, celebrating Edwyn Collins return, was recorded by the Indiepop band The Candy Twins. In November 2009 Edwyn Collins walked on stage at London’s Bloomsbury Ballroom looking dapper in a black suit and leaning on a silver-topped cane, Edwyn Collins spoke slowly to the crowd, Edwyn Collins right arm curled up at his side. But when Edwyn Collins started to sing, his baritone proved as powerful as ever."

A BBC Scotland documentary, Edwyn Collins:Home Again, was broadcast on 19 May 2008 and narrated by Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos. Edwyn Collins also performed at the Glastonbury Festival, broadcast on 28 June 2008 on BBC Two and at T in the Park on 10 July 2009.
