Folk songwriter influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan, Ralph McTell and Michael Chapman
Born and raised in Norfolk (UK), Watkin Sharkey is a folk songwriter influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan, Ralph McTell and Michael Chapman. A new kid on the block, Sharkey has dived into his first year of live performances with tours of venues, folk clubs and theatres in the UK, France and Spain. Supporting Katie Spencer in Sheffield and opening for Paul Armfield on his spring 2025 UK tour are notable successes.
With a debut album in the works, Watkin has a distinctive, contemporary sound while tipping his hat to the 60s/70s folk tradition.
