About Us:
A native of Loughrea Linda, a young
mother of eight children, now resides
in Roscahill, Co. Galway. Her new
album 'A Story to Tell' is a
collection of contemporary songs and
music all written and composed by
herself. Linda Welby has a very
defined vision of where she is going
and what is important to her in life.
As a composer, songwriter, multi
instrumentalist and singer, music has
always been at the forefront for
Linda. Linda's grandfather Paddy
Doorhy was an accomplished fiddle
player and played with the first
Ballinakill ceili band. Linda's Dad,
also Paddy Doorhy, played drums and
toured extensively with many bands and
noted musicians. Linda gets her
musical inspiration from her dad, whom
she regards as her hero, and has no
hesitation in linking all her
achievements back to this musical
heritage. "My dad's a real inspiration
to me".
Linda's career is driven by her
passion for adventurous meaningful
compositions and in pursuing this
passion her musicianship and mastery
of arrangement are broadly appreciated
in the music industry. Linda has
always kept her head and her heart
despite her consistent rise and has no
need for elaborate vocal
embellishments to get her message
across. Linda's cool, clear, soulful
voice has always worn its emotions in
the open. Writing is also something
that Linda has been doing for years "I
was always a poetry writer and always
loved words, even from a young age.
So writing my own album came
naturally".
