Lindisfarne was Tyneside's best-loved band for over thirty years and The Lindisfarne Story is a celebration of the group's music and achievements. The show is devised, written and performed by drummer/founder member Ray Laidlaw and Billy Mitchell, front man for the final eight years of the group.
Ray and Billy 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. They describe the group's early days on Tyneside in the 1960s hustling for gigs and their rise to fame in the early '70s.
The show is illustrated with personal archive photographs and 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.
