Linda Watkins and Friends

Linda Watkins is a Singer/Songwriter and guitarist - but it doesn’t end there.

She also enjoys 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 her performances.

Her 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 and she is always looking for new material and ideas, thus constantly exploring and experiencing a diverse selection of both contemporary and traditional music.

She has been a great supporter of the club, doing floor spots and guest nights either solo or with “friends” and she has guested at previous Canal Day concerts and our very own Banbury Canalside Folk Festival.

On the advent of St Valentine ’s Day she will be joined by her ‘friends’ to sing us songs of love to get us in the mood for the day ahead!
