THE LINDISFARNE STORY

The Lindisfarne Story

Chapter 6 – No Time To Lose

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 and drummer 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 puts the spotlight on the group's debut

album 'Nicely Out of Tune'

'The best debut album by a UK band this year' New Musical Express – 1971

It was 'Nicely Out of Tune', a sparkling debut crammed with classic songs, that alerted the music industry and fans alike to the Lindisfarne sound and paved the way for their chart topping second album, 'Fog on the Tyne'.

A five decade career followed, fuelled by unforgettable songs and a joyous approach to live performance that proved irresistible to fans far and wide.

A TV documentary, 'Alan Hull - Lindisfarne's Geordie Genius' broadcast in 2021, highlighted the regard that many other musicians had for Lindisfarne. Sting, Peter Gabriel, Dave Stewart, Elvis Costello and many more put on record their admiration for Alan, Lindisfarne and the music.

Ray Laildaw and Billy Mitchell have made music together since they met in their teens. Billy was right there during Lindisfarne's formation and became their front-man for eight years in 1995 following the sudden death of Alan Hull.

Join Ray and Billy for a celebration of Lindisfarne's music and memories, laughter and loss with The Lindisfarne Story – Ch 6. 'No Time To Lose'.
