After Linda's tragic and untimely death this year it has fallen to me, with the encouragement of Linda's family, it bring Linda's songs into one place.
I have made a start on a webpage which is definitely "work in progress" but is available here http://www.whfolk.co.uk/KELLY/lindakellysongs.htm
We are now working on the scores and ABC files but this could take some time as Linda never wrote any music down.
If anyone can add any information at all please contact me here or email me at

Nothing I can add, Peter, except to say what a wonderful tribute to one of our finest writers and performers, and a lovely lady who is very much missed.

RIP Linda.

It's looking good, Pete. Bill has the scores for some of them, as sung by Spare Hands. Lots of people sing Sweet Minerva.

This is great news, Pete.
A most worthy enterprise, which when completed will be a fabulous memorial to a major songwriting talent and a lovely lady.
I have lyrics to several of Linda's songs, mainly those which I sing myself - but no dots or scores I'm afraid.
All best wishes.

The project is still "work in progress" but extra tracks have been added from other artists singing Linda's songs.
If you have any other recordings I would be happy to receive them.
