“Mrs. Watkins sang several popular Celtic songs, also, among which may be mentioned ‘The Wearin’ o’ the Green,’ ‘Kathleen Mavourneen,’ ‘The Lakes of Killarney,’ and ‘Farewell to Erin.’ Her vocalism is commended to sympathy by its heart-felt earnestness; and, though her voice is somewhat worn, she uses it with skill.”
