FOLK rock veterans Lindisfarne are heading for a gig at Bradford Cathedral. The Geordie band brings its 2021 Fingers Crossed Tour on Saturday, September 18, playing hits such as Meet Me On The Corner, Fog On The Tyne and Run For Home.
Founded in 1970 by the late Alan Hull and Rod Clements, the original band called it a day in 2003, but now Lindisfarne are back with a five-piece line up of long-time members fronted by Clements (vocals, mandolin, fiddle, slide guitar) and Alan Hull’s son-in-law Dave Hull-Denholm (vocals, guitars). For tickets go to bradfordcathedral.org
The tour coincides with the broadcast of a BBC documentary about Alan Hull, marking the 50th anniversary of seminal album Fog on The Tyne.
In the film, to be shown in October, Brit award winner Sam Fender explores the archives to discover the real Alan Hull. Also contributing are Sting, the Unthanks, Elvis Costello, Kay Greyson and Mark Knopfler.
