Cardiff born Linda Keene began her singing career at The Shack in the 1960's. She is the sister of that other Welsh songbird Denise Keene who appeared on Bandstand. At the age of seventeen she joined up with Brian O'Toole and David Cooper of The Charade, who later became the resident folk group on the popular television show Bandstand. After that history seems to lose track of her until 1979 when she appeared as one of the vocalists on the 'ACTU Achievement' album singing ''Part Of the Union'' (the old Strawbs song) and ''Achievement'', both with Mick Leyton.

ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteI am wondering if Linda or her sister attended Merrylands Hihg School in the early 1960’s. I vaguely remember my elder sister saying way back then and I think it might have been Denise Keen was in her year and was to sing and guessing not certain it was on the Johnny O’Keefe show on television. It was a big hype at the time at High School with everybody glued to the TV to watch the performance. My sister is now in her 80’s
