Lindisfarne (band)

Lindisfarne was popular British Folk/rock group of the 1970s, fronted by singer/songwriter Alan Hull. Their music combined a strong sense of yearning, often for home, with an even stronger sense of fun. Hit singles included Meet Me On The Corner, Lady Eleanor and Run For Home and the anthemic We Can Swing Together, though perhaps their best-remembered song is Fog On The Tyne from the LP of the same name. Lindisfarne continued to delight their many fans after the death of Alan Hull through many reincarnations.
Their last show was played on 1st November 2003 to a packed house at the Newcastle Opera House. Playing together for the last time as Lindisfarne were Dave Hull-Denholm, Billy Mitchell (http://www.billymitchell.co.uk), Rod Clements (http://www.rodclements.com), Ian Thompson (http://www.ianthomson.info/) and Ray Laidlaw.
The final concert was recorded for posterity and released under the appropriately named Time Gentlemen Please (http://www.lindeshop.co.uk/).
