The Last Music Company

Geraint Watkins is a British musician, singer, and songwriter born in Abertridwr, South Wales on February 5th, 1951. He is known for his solo albums as well as his sessions with many major artists. With his impressive musical abilities including playing guitar, cajun/zydeco accordion, organ, and rock 'n' roll piano, Geraint has made a significant impact in the music industry. His talent and versatility have earned him recognition and respect among his peers.

Throughout his career, Geraint Watkins has collaborated with various renowned artists across different genres. His contributions to their projects have showcased his exceptional skills and musicality. As a brother of another talented musician [name], he comes from a family with deep roots in the world of music.

With an extensive discography and an impressive body of work under his belt, Geraint Watkins continues to captivate audiences with his unique blend of styles and heartfelt performances. Whether it's through his solo endeavors or collaborations with other artists, he consistently delivers memorable music that resonates with listeners worldwide.

Attempting to designate a musical category for Watkins is not without its challenges, but the perspicacious Nick Lowe once observed that he could be filed as "the missing link between Paulo Conte and Howlin’ Wolf". 

Another beacon of taste - Bob Dylan - proclaimed himself a fan by playing two solo cuts on his Theme Time Radio Hour saying (without a hint of irony) that "Geraint Watkins is my favourite English piano player." There you have it...high praise indeed. For so many years a keystone of the bands of Nick Lowe, Van Morrison, Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, Dave Edmunds and countless more, Geraint Watkins is also a revered creator of his own sublime music, much of which has already been perfectly captured in a handful of solo albums.

For 2019's Rush of Blood album, Geraint found a new and unlikely collaborator in the form of Simon Ratcliffe of The Basement Jaxx to push his boundaries even further. This unique aggregation - aided by some master musicians has produced what will surely come to be regarded as the finest yet of Watkins' solo projects.
