Lindisfarne

A concert by Lindisfarne, the British folk rock band formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1970, staged at Kings Place in London. The band's current line-up performs its 1970s songbook on this visit.

Lindisfarne are a British folk rock band formed in 1970 in Newcastle upon Tyne, blending folk and rock in a sound that grew out of the Tyneside scene. Their first album, Nicely Out of Tune, appeared in 1970 on Atco Records, and songs such as Meet Me On The Corner, Fog On The Tyne and Run For Home are among their best-known material. Alan Hull and Rod Clements were the band's resident songwriters.

The original group disbanded in 2003, and Lindisfarne have since returned with a five-piece line-up of long-standing members. Founder member Rod Clements sings and plays mandolin and guitar, while Dave Hull-Denholm, Alan Hull's son-in-law, shares the vocals and guitar parts. The band continues to tour.

This concert is performed by Lindisfarne themselves, with the current line-up, at Kings Place in London. The venue's Hall One hosts concerts and shows, and the evening suits listeners who want to hear the band's folk rock catalogue played live by the group.
