‘A suave refinement of deep-seated influences… matching a spare sophisticated style with a connoisseur’s touch. Astringent, observational songs seal the deal.’ – Gavin Martin, Uncut.

Geraint Watkins, the acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician, is to release his fourth solo studio album ‘Moustique’ in early 2014. His previous album ‘In A Bad Mood’ received a very warm reception and Geraint was rewarded with six live BBC radio sessions and a spot on the ‘Later… with Jools Holland’ TV show.

Jools was quoted in Mojo: ‘One of the great underrated songwriters. He mashes up elements of Cajun, country, blues, soul and British pop and it’s about love, death and grown-up issues, sounding like it is sung by someone who has lived a life.’ Bob Dylan is another of the many who have praised him, with a number of plays on his ‘Theme Time Radio Hour’.
Geraint has attracted admiration from the top names in music. He’s much in demand and has played and recorded with Van Morrison, Paul McCartney, Mark Knopfler, Nick Lowe and many more. He fronted three of the Rolling Stones and others in Willie & the Poor Boys, and regularly tours as a key member of both Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings and Nick Lowe’s band. In 2012 Nick Lowe chose him to open on his band tour across Europe and Australia. Geraint followed that with headline dates in Spain, Sweden, Norway and the UK.
