Dear Linda, as an ex pat from Belfast I was listening to Radio Ulster and heard your music and interview. As a classically trained musician and part time composer,I can honestly say I enjoyed the freshness and energy in your music played, especially the Galway Fiddler. Well done and keep writing this happy music.

Dear Linda Welby, I am a 67 year old ex pat now living in sunny California for 40 years near silicon valley. I was born and raised in a place called Ballydavid near Loughrea in Co Galway Ireland. My daughter Mary bought your CD "A Story To Tell" while on vacation last month in Carmen (West Coast California) and it is a really cherised album in our condo, I really love Dear Dad,I hope my girls think of me like that, your accent really brings me home again, a beautiful mix of East /West Galway and Connemara dialect, Linda that is unique and will pass on with you forever. You mention on the sleeve notes your father Paddy Doorhry came from Loughrea I went to school with the Doorhrys there in the late 1950s in real hard times, can that be your folk one went on to travel with Joe Burke (the accordeion player) as a drummer and worked over here many times in the USA. I would sure love to hear from you real soon to catch up with the old real west. John.

Hi Linda...Heard you on Tipp FM on Tuesday night and on Midlands 103 last night. You sounded great and all the songs were brilliant. It was good to hear so many great tracks in each show. Every time I turn on the radio you seem to be on and you certainly deserve it. I have your CD and it is a real gem, so well presened and all great sounds. You should be very pleased with your performance to date and I hope to meet you very soon as I have spent many years in the music business and I really admire your exceptional talent. I shall be very honoured to meet you.
Every Best Wish and may your CD sell a million.......Don, Kay and family

Hello Linda,Andrea and I saw you at the Mid West Radio concert in Castlebar on Tuesday, you were absolutely brilliant live and looked a million dollars in the lights (we were in the fourth row) We have loved the Galway Fiddler on radio for weeks and it was great you took time to talk to us afterwards,to sign the CD and photo and be so friendly when everyone wanted your attention. Heard you on with Seamus Shannon today on Shannonside and he gave half his show to you,that is something else, you are very down to earth on radio and have a lovely Galway accent. Best wishes for your career we love "A Story To Tell" Andrea and Patrick.

Heard your song the Galway Fiddler on a northern radio station today while on holiday in Donegal I had to stop the car to listen the radio presenter said you look lovely like a model and you have eight kids "wow" My grandfather was a Galway fiddler in the 1960s busking at the fairs and we would love a copy of this song (and the words)to keep in his memory especially for mammy. can you e mail where we can buy it. Love Roisin

just returned from 15 "great days" in Eire retaing the anglo-irish golf trophy (only 2 of us play for it since 1988. It`s a "fun thing")and after I bid farewell to my friend Jimmy (he`s a Dub) went "walk-about" Eire and in county Clare I heard "gallway fiddler "SUPURB" and then down in Killarny (where I stayed for 5 days"heard it again on radio Kerry. I then tyied to buy it but no record shop had, with respect, heard of you. I rang radio Kerry (on a Sunday) but they could`nt help ,even tho` they`d broadcast it due, understandably to only having a skeleton staff. I then went to the tourist office who found you on the internet. After this I decided to wait til` I got home and try then even tho` I`d tried in a couple more shops. Please contact me as I would like to buy your music.
many thanks
