   About Linda Watkins
So, here I am - Linda Watkins Singer/Songwriter and guitarist - but it doesn't end there. I also enjoy playing mandolin and bodhran along with an assortment of more unusual instruments including Portuguese guitar and Puerto Rican Cuatro which often find their way into my performances. My songs reflect a very varied set of musical influences..from traditional folk and classical composers to ..heavy rock and popular singer-songwriters from a host of nations - the list is almost endless as I am always looking for new material and ideas thus constantly exploring and experiencing a diverse selection of both contemporary and traditional music. My unique performances are quite at home in both the small venue or on the larger stage as is borne out by a host of engagements encompassing everything from birthday parties, Burns Night Suppers, switching on of Christmas lights, singer-songwriter sessions through to folk club and large festival appearances! My most unusual engagement so far has been singing boat rides! Get MySpace Layouts from nUCLEArcENTURy.COM OR create your own using MySpace profile editor!!!

Sometimes we Dont.
Linda I really like this song after listening a number of times.
There is quite a special atmosphere that I sense.
Vibrato vocals ...sensational

We just wanted to say thank's for dropping by for a cold beer with us and staying for the music. We really appreciate your nice comments. We’re still getting moved in here and with our new album coming out soon, we've been pretty busy. Please stay in touch and drop by any time. Any of your friends that are into hard rock like Deep Purple and classic Whitesnake, please send them over. There will always be plenty of room for new friends at our home.
