The LengPleng Feature

Righting a wrong: Roz Fisher, Cathy Cilliers and the Coz Collective

Coming soon to Bandcamp on the Teen Freaks label is Aunty Cathy & Me: Songs by Cathy Cilliers and Roz Fisher.  Many music fans in Cambodia will know Roz, and some of the many and varied singers and instrumentalists who make up the Coz Collective who have recorded this set of songs – more about them later – but who is Cathy Cilliers?  LengPleng had a chat with Roz to find out.

As the title suggests, Cathy Cilliers is Roz’s aunt, the younger sister of her mother, an amateur songwriter from Durban, South Africa.  “She was a qualified concert pianist, ran a music studio, and taught music and ran choirs,” says Roz, “But most of all she loved Elvis, and she loved country music, and she loved to write songs.”
