- Current members of the regrouped Geordie band 'Lindisfarne' perform a few of the iconic songs that made the band very famous in the 1980s. The performance was in memory of the bands late lead singer Alan Hull who died in 1995 aged 50.
A plaque was unvieled outside of the City Hall to commemorate the singer, songwriter, poet and working class heros work with the Tyneside band.
Allan Hull a great human being ..... Loved his music .....God bless him and his fellow band members...
Thanks for sharing this.. .. Great fitting tribute
Thanks for watching the video. A superb band from a great era for music. Cheers - Allan.
I was a big fan of Lindisfarne back in the early 70's and 'Nicely Out Of Tune' was one of the first music cassettes I ever bought followed by 'Live at Newcastle city hall'.
They were a bunch of talented musicians with some great catchy songs who epitomised folk rock and had a master song writer in Alan Hull.
Nobody and nothing is ever truly 'gone' - Love Lindisfarne X.
Yes indeed.....such an early age to be taken from us.
Must be 35 years since I listened to these tracks. Amazingly talented and such a fresh sound. Nicely out of tune - it never was. Thanks Alan, Ray et al.
Get in there lads. Brilliant. I saw you lads at the city hall in 83 or 84, bloody magic.
Joseph Douglas Thanks for watching the video Joseph. Legendary band! Cheers - Allan.
Magic
Thanks you for watching. Allan. :-)
Oh my god that's my dad XD and Alan was my granddad.
And I played my recorder to clear white light at this thingy (I was like 9 haha)
+holland 13 Thanks for watching and for your story. Much appreciated.
holland 13 Wow! You must be so proud. Alan was a legend!
No doubt the best songwriter and a great guy in the North East and sadly missed
Yes agree a brilliant songwriter. Thank you for watching the video. Cheers - Allan.
Great band. Run for Home was on the jukebox everywhere in 1977 or thereabouts when i was on a canoe holiday in Scotland. Later sAw the band live at Glasgow City Hall.
My sister says she saw them while she was at Univ in the early 70s. Supported by a band called Genesis. Wonder what happened to them.
RIP Alan. Much too young.
1978'
I was introduced to Lindisfarne in the early 1970s by a Geordie girl in Zambia: she had to translate the accent for me, but I was soon hooked. Just been playing "Best of" in my car for days now - singing along to Lady Eleanor and Clear White Light, and of course We Can Swing Together in traffic. Love 'em still. Thanks!
Then in came Roderick Usher with the Lady Eleanor...
it was a great afternoon i spoke to Ray and Billy Mitchell after the event, a fantastic tribute to a great singer song writer and a proper geordie
wish ide have been there ,thanks loved em in the 70s and still do.
Thanks for viewing.
A great band and great performers. This was a lovely half hour gig on the streets of Newcastle.
It's lovely to see Jacka fronting a Lindisfarne line up again. Great vid, thanks for much for posting.
I wish I had known this was happening...I would've paid tribute too x Alan has inspired my singing and guitar playing over many years x
I'm not even a Geordie,but I was choked watching Ray Jackson singing this beautiful rendition of Lady Eleanor.
I am pleased you enjoyed the footage. Thanks for watching and commenting and I am pleased people are still enjoying this video 5 years after I shot it. A super band!
Regards - Allan.
The song brought back memories of love, loss and the fantastic period in the 1970's when everything seemed possible. I'm a Scouser, and have worked with quite a few Geordies and we've always got on 'like a house on fire' . Whenever I'm in the North East,I try and visit Newcastle, because it has a great buzz about it.
Good luck next season with our old manager !!
The 1970s were a great period. Life was less complicated, well so it seemed. The music was a big part of it too of course.. As a football fan from Newcastle who supports NUFC I have visited Liverpool many times and we always got on well with Scouse fans more than any other supporters in England. Rafa is a hero up here and I am sure he will give us a team to be proud of in the PL eventually, although it will take a bit time I think.
It'll be a fascinating game between us when we see you at St James' Park on the 1st October.I'm glad you're back were you belong in the Premier League. Cheers:)
Thanks and it'll be a great game hopefully like some of the past encounters. It's a pity its been moved to the Sunday as that's the day I go on a 12 day holiday to Majorca so I won't be at St James for that one. I will find a bar with the game on TV though. Cheers - Al.
Great that and a lovely tribute to Alan...
Alan was a Poet - My favourite song lyric/words of all time is from Lady Eleanor.:
She gazed with (the) loving beauty,
Like a mother to a son.
Like living, dying, seeing, being all rolled into one.
The opening of Lady Eleanor with those gently strummed chords and the organ in the background is like a Holy Song or Hymn.
R.I.P Alan - you're singing with the angels now.
Thanks very much for your comments and a nice tribute to a great musician.
Indeed x
Thanks very much for watching and for commenting.
It was great to be able to watch this performance on the streets of Newcastle and to put it on UA-cam. Great memories of a truly great North East band. Allan.
Thanks, a great little session to watch it was.
Thanks Jeff a......... nice little half hour session to commemorate the Geordiesinger and songwriter.
Ray Jackson is/was always an under-rated musician, great vocalist who added some beefy blues tones both with voice and harmonica and wasn't bad on mandolin either ..never mind Maggie May/Rod Stewart.
Thanks very much for viewing and for commenting. I am pleased you like the video clips. Lovely reminders of some classic Lindisfarne music. Allan.
Nice tribute to the great Allan Hull. I remember going to see one of the Christmas concerts. Jeff.
how great to hear the sirens in the background - really adds gravity to the meaning of the song ! Alan would have loved that ;)
Peace Lads !
+Simon Ellis Thanks for watching the video and thanks for your comments Simon. Cheers - Allan. :-)
Glad you are still keeping the dream alive :) hope to see you soon
Alan is still keeping us thinking and still keeping us going :) as I know you know too :)
A True Legend ! Peace
It was indeed a very nice tribute to a great Geordie songwriter and legend. I really enjoyed it.
Many thanks for watching and for commenting. Allan.
Thanks for watching, I remember the 7-1 like yesterday. One of my best days at a Toon match ever.
A brilliant Geordie band.
Thanks for commenting. It was in a side street so 20,000 might have been a problem, but yes could have been more folks there, but credit to those that attended.
I was in the gallowgate end watching lindisfarne in the leazers
It was a lovely event even though it lasted 30 minutes and a great tribute to a great man.
