Just noticed that it's not been mentioned, and I thought it good to acknowledge the happy news that Shirley Collins has a new record about to come out - 'Heart's Ease', her second release since 2016's comeback album 'Lodestar'. It's mainly traditional pieces, including revisitations of songs from earlier in Shirley's career. There's a nice piece on it here (including a link at the bottom, to acquire the record): https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2020/05/shirley-collins-album-hearts-ease And an initial video. 'Wondrous Love', which is strongly redolent of the solitude of lockdown, but also the hope and humanity which have endured throughout. https://youtu.be/xwLrUuGT288
