A Crookes Folk Club presentation at The Princess Royal, 43 Slinn Street, Sheffield, S10 1NW.Originally booked to appear this evening, Andy Murdoch has been forced to withdraw due to illness, so LINDA WATKINS has stepped into the breach!
*TICKETING & DOOR POLICY*
Whilst we occasionally run ticketed Friday Night Specials, entry for our regular weekly Thursday club nights is on a first-come-first-served basis and unticketed and we do not take advanced seat bookings.
Entry for regular club nights is free, we pay our guests by way of a *CASH* collection. Whilst we understand that some simply haven't the means to make a contribution and absolutely DO NOT wish to exclude them, we expect those who can to make as generous a donation as they are able in recognition of our guest's work.
*PLEASE CHECK FOR UPDATES BEFORE SETTING OUT*
Life is full of unexpected ups and downs, illness, weather and other unexpected things can spoil the best made plans. We may sometimes have to change our guest at short notice, or even cancel an evening altogether. To avoid disappointment please re-visit the relevant night's event for updates *BEFORE* setting out.
*LINDA WATKINS
Linda is an established singer songwriter, proudly Welsh yet exceedingly British! Whilst her roots are firmly in the Welsh valleys she is a purveyor of songs which touch all of us. From the heart wrenching Emily’s Rainbow to the frivolity of audience ‘pirate’ participation in She Kissed Her True Love, her performances are both entertaining and memorable. Linda writes her songs on a variety of stringed instruments including guitar, cittern, mandolin, bouzouki, Portuguese guitar and dulcimer, adding unique atmosphere to her material. Her songs reflect a very varied set of musical influences and there is something for everyone.
Whilst a bit of a hidden gem, she has graced stages at clubs and festivals across the country and has opened for many (and varied!) first class acts such as Mike Silver, Clive Gregson, Martin Simpson, Eric Andersen, Hayseed Dixie Band, Josh Ritter, Rod Clements, PJ Wright & Dave Pegg, Ric Sanders & Vo Fletcher, Steve Tilston – and the list continues to grow.
With five albums to date, a duo and two bands, Linda is a very busy woman with a passion for good music!
