The Lindisfarne Story

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’ which was described as ‘The best debut album by a UK band this year’ by New Musical Express in 1971.
