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."
