Judy Collins, the voice of “Both Sides Now” and “Send in the Clowns”, brings her Sweet Judy Blue Eyes Farewell Tour to The London Palladium for one night.
Judy Collins, whose “Both Sides Now” is in the Grammy Hall of Fame, plays a farewell concert at The London Palladium in the West End on Saturday 6 February 2027.
Collins began as a classical piano prodigy, playing Mozart in public at 13, before the folk revival drew her to the guitar. Her debut album, A Maid of Constant Sorrow, came out on Elektra Records in 1961.
Her version of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” came from the 1967 album Wildflowers. Her recording of Stephen Sondheim’s “Send in the Clowns” won Song of the Year at the 1975 Grammy Awards.
In Greenwich Village she helped bring Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell and Randy Newman to a wider audience. Dolly Parton, Joan Baez and Cohen later recorded songs for a tribute album to her.
The London night is a stop on her Sweet Judy Blue Eyes Farewell Tour, named after her memoir. Spellbound, her 55th album, was the first on which she wrote every song.
That record was nominated for Best Folk Album at the 2023 Grammy Awards. Friends join her on the Palladium bill, with names still to be announced.
