A great band and a great artist Alan Hull, often described as the Bob Dylan of the North East, but he was more , much more than that. He was also a great human being, so much unsung by the UK. Sad... it takes someone from Algeria to shine a light on this great, great man
This is my favorite Lindisfarne song. I experienced this group via a military training exercise conducted in the UK. I was a young US Marine, and we were conducting joint operations training with the Royal Marines. A Corporal I met played this at the barracks. I was a musician since I was a young child, played trumpet. He was a pianist. We would visit in our down time and discuss all sorts of music. Once I heard this band, I was instantly hooked. They were awesome. I have all of the albums.
Jeese, first group I ever saw live in Reading Town Hall, 1974. Here 23/03/2019 and listening for first time since then, Big WOW, lots of emotion and memories. A much under-rated band!
This is the kind of sound you'd expect to hear from either Canada or from where I'm from, The States!!! This is a great sound!!! Makes you wonder why it didn't chart in the states!!!
Worked up that way , when they were building the Metro centre in the late eighties. Fucking great people, loved it up there, doing 12 , 14 hour shifts, but it was such a great place, digs in Witley bay. God! memories.
Yes, Rod Clements leads the current version - which also includes 90s members Dave Hull-Denholm (the late Alan Hull's son-in-law) and Ian Thomson, plus the band's late 80s producer Steve Daggett. Ray Jackson retired in 2015, the same year guitarist Si Cowe (with the red hair) passed away.
So sad that some have passed away. I had the privilege of working with Geordies for a lot of years and this was their anthem. I love my visits to Newcastle and I will regret to my dying day that I never saw Lindisfarne live in the 80s. I salute all Geordies and their hard working culture.

RIP Alan Hull. Brilliant musician.
Any Geordie, who lives abroad or has emigrated, has tears in their eyes listening to this, fabulous lyrics.
Brings back great memories of my youth.

How can the audience just sit there like statues? LOVE this group!
Great...just great....the memories flood back when I hear these top songs from Lindisfarne.
Wonderful tune, so evocative.
Saw these guys in 1978, magic!
No boundaries, this classic reached the Far East, colonial Hong Kong in 1978. Good old days!
The best Lindisfarne line up ever
Remember seeing Lindisfarne in Norwich many years ago.

An underrated band, this and lady eleanor are among my favourite tunes ever
Supported them at Bristol Locarno in 1973, amazing band and great down to earth guys and plenty of beers too.
