LINDA McRAE: For more than twenty years now, Linda has been a treat to the eyes and ears, from her early punk days with Terminal City through her stints in such bands as Bolero Lava, Herald Nix, and most famously, Spirit of the West. She's performing at Leith Folk Club as a duo with Stephen Nikleva with whom she shares the Stage in The Knotty Pines.
