Geraint Watkins & The Mosquitoes

Geraint Watkins has spent most of his professional career working with other artists but is a creator of his own sublime music. Andy Fairweather Low produced Watkins’ first album 'Geraint Watkins and The Dominators' for the Vertigo label and then session work for producer Stuart Colman led to a regular spot for Geraint in Shakin’ Stevens’ band, where he played on all the hits. From then on until the Covid pandemic lockdown, Watkins would go on to record and play live with Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Van Morrison, Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Mark Knopfler, Dr. Feelgood, Rory Gallagher, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Stray Cats, Carl Perkins, Tom Jones, John Martyn and countless others. Since that first release under his own name in the '70s, Geraint has released just a handful of highly acclaimed solo albums showcasing his own material. These days he regularly performs a good selection from this repertoire with his band the Mosquitoes whose current lineup features Little George Sueref (harmonica/guitar/vocals), Oliver Darling (guitar/vocals), Paul Riley (bass) and Malcolm Mills (drums).
