The singer-songwriter and former Orange Juice frontman is releasing new album Nation Shall Speak Unto Nation in March, and will take on your questions

From his days with Orange Juice to his solo gems, Edwyn Collins has long cut a distinctive dash in the worlds of British pop and indie – and he’s still at it, putting out his 10th solo album, Nation Shall Speak Unto Nation, on 14 March. As he prepares the release he’ll be joining us to answer your questions.

Now 65, Collins was born in Edinburgh and raised in Dundee, before he headed to Glasgow where he worked as an illustrator for the city’s parks department, drawing “chaffinches and squirrels and moorhens for park leaflets” he later remembered. But he was also frontman of the burgeoning band Orange Juice, who came to define a moment in Scottish indie-pop with spirited tunes such as Rip It Up, Blue Boy and Falling and Laughing (the latter one of Keir Starmer’s Desert Island Discs), topped by Collins’s untutored yet romantic croon.
