Lindisfarne (Not The Island)

[Maggie/915]

The story of Lindisfarne is doing the rounds.

I remember first hearing 'Nicely out of Tune ' in 1971.

Seeing them not to long after at the Brighton Dome they were the headline act.

Support was Genesis and another group called Audience.

They were called 'Bretheren' when they played in the North East. Changed their name Lindisfarne after they went down to London, with a little prompting from Robert Stigwood.

 

Excellent band.

[Maggie/915]

Did you ever hear Tynemouth Song.

It formed part of a cd for the tall ships.

Great song.

Living in exile during the late 60's / 70's Lindisfarne became one favourite to listen too.

My favourite Maggie, and it should pull at your wandering heartstrings, I know it did for me. 'Run For Home'.
