Linde has been performing and recording for over 15 years, first as part of Ygdrassil, one of Holland’s top folk groups, lately as a succesfull solo singer / guitarist. She's made 9 albums, toured all over Europe with her strong songs and captivating performance and was part of esteemed musical projects, such as her collaboration with American singersongwriter Si Kahn. With her renditions of Sandy Denny songmaterial she has toured the UK, Holland and Germany. Joe Boyd (former producer Fairport Convention, Pink Floyd, Nick Drake) said about her album:
"Linde Nijland has given Sandy Denny's music the respect it deserves, and made a lovely and fresh record that shows off her beautiful voice as well as her good taste"
Recently Linde's appeared at Brampton Live, Celtic Connections, Quathedral Quarter Arts Festival (Belfast) and Venner Folkfruhling Festival. July 18th 2009 she was part of an "All Star Fairport Convention Concert" curated by Joe Boyd in the Barbican Hall in London.
A new solo album with a blend of original songmaterial, traditional tunes and folk
classics will be released in 2009. Also a DVD of her exciting musical journey with multi-instrumentalist Bert Ridderbos to the Himalaya Kingdom Bhutan in 2008 will be released.
“Smooth and intimate..that prickly, intimate sense of the singer sharing the same air as the rest of us”
