With a sound distilled from folk, blues and beyond,
Lindisfarne burst onto the international music scene
in 1970. Memorable melodies, sweet & sour
harmonies and gutsy instrumentation delivered with
an infectious Geordie swagger, soon cemented
Lindisfarne’s reputation as a formidable musical
force. Hit records, sell-out tours and international
success were the inevitable results.
It was the songs that hit the spot with the fans.
Lady Eleanor, Winter Song, Meet Me On The Corner,
Run For Home and many, many, more are still
performed all over the world.
Founder member Ray Laidlaw and former front man
Billy Mitchell tell Lindisfarne’s roller-coaster story
with tall tales, memorable music and of course,
scurrilous gossip. Chapter Six shines the spotlight on
the group’s debut album ‘Nicely Out of Tune’
‘The best debut album by a UK band this year’
