Bio
Uh-oh, pub culture is morphing again! Forget the 'black and nasty' rock grunge image and the punk hard cut edges. Leave polka dots for the teenies you left at home in front of Transformers. Put on your favourite retro outfit, some gorgeous sparkly shoes (especially if they once belonged to Granny) and groove the night away to a singer who is the perfect combination of Tori Amos and Rickie Lee Jones! Kate Bush move over - this girl's got balls! (Allagorically speaking of course.)
Linda’s oh-so quirky pop style mixes cabaret, hip-hop, blues and jazz. Linda is “silk to the eyes, ears and throat… the audience love her as she is warm, friendly and vocally wholesome …. A complete package.” (Iain McGuire, Artistic Director of Mad Cow Theatre Company)
About
Based in Sydney, Australia, in the last few years Linda has performed under her own name as well as moonlighting with a group called “The Bettys” performing covers for parties and corporate functions. As part of the “Santa Bettys”, a Christmas incarnation of the group, Linda has performed on ABC statewide radio in Australia, singing an inventive a Capella rendition of Ray Charles’ arrangement of Jingle Bells.
Linda Wood has also lent her musical and theatrical talents in recent years to “Leader of the Pack” (Central Coast production), “Downtown” (a musical tribute to the 60s pop scene in Britain) “Straight Up Rogue” (a jazz revue) and “Back to the 80s”.
In September 2006 Linda worked in New York directing the vocals for “Angels” (see

), a workshop production staged at the Duke Theatre on 42nd Street at Time Square*. Linda played a supporting character role for the recording of this production in Sydney (July 2006) as well as writing most of the vocal arrangements and conducting the studio ensemble.
In 2008 Linda promoted her album “Duel” with gigs in the UK. In 2009 Linda is looking forward to more international performances but will be based back in Sydney Australia.
