The band emerged from Tyneside in the 1970s and quickly carved out a unique place for themselves as one of British rock’s most original bands.

Their pioneering sound, combining acoustic instruments such as mandolin and fiddle with their electric blues roots, proved the perfect medium to deliver the catchy, memorable songs provided by the band’s resident writers Alan Hull and Rod Clements.

The band originally called it a day in 2003 but are now back with Rod still rocking up front and Alan’s son-in-law Dave Hull-Denholm (vocals, guitars) alongside.

With a repertoire of unforgettable songs like Meet Me On The Corner, Fog On The Tyne, Lady Eleanor and Run For Home and a reputation for live performance second to none, Lindisfarne’s power to galvanise festival and concert audiences remains untarnished by time.
