The Lindisfarne Story - On Tour, Autumn 2013

Ray Laidlaw and Billy Mitchell present: The Lindisfarne Story - on tour in 2013

 

Join Ray Laidlaw and Billy Mitchell as they tell the story of Tyneside's favourite band for over thirty years in a special two-man acoustic show.

 

They will perform acoustic versions of Lindisfarne's classic songs and tell the inside story of the group's rise to fame, from Whitley Bay to San Francisco Bay, from Rothbury to Glastonbury.

 

The show is illustrated with personal archive photographs that describes their worldwide tours, festival successes and TV appearances, their triumphant return home and their unique relationship with Newcastle City Hall, venue for over 130 Lindisfarne performances.

Lady Eleanor, Meet Me On The Corner, Fog on the Tyne, Run for Home... all of these songs have a story behind them. Enjoy hearing them again in an intimate venue and discover what was the inspiration behind their composition.

 

You'll hear how the classic songs developed and how Bob Dylan's producer helped Lindisfarne to focus their musical ideas and burst through the glam and manufactured sounds around them to become one of the major British groups of the seventies.

 

From Whitley Bay to San Francisco Bay - The Lindisfarne story.
