Ray Laidlaw and Billy Mitchell Plan Another Lindisfarne Tour


. (Prog) Following a successful 2014 tour, Ray Laidlaw and Billy Mitchell will be telling the story of Tyneside's favorite band again across the UK and Ireland in 2015.

In a two-man acoustic show, the pair perform classic Lindisfarne songs illustrated with tales, personal archive photographs and rare video. Founding member and original drummer Laidlaw and Mitchell, frontman for the final eight years of the veteran group, share the inside story of the group's rise to fame - from Whitley Bay to San Francisco Bay, from Rothbury to Glastonbury.

Lindisfarne burst onto the UK music scene in 1970 with a string of classic tunes, including Lady Eleanor, Meet Me On The Corner, Fog On The Tyne and Run For Home, which quickly established the band as one of the leading figures in acoustic-based rock.

Laidlaw says: "In 1971, we took the music business by storm, and for the next thirty years we shared Lindisfarne's unique brand of Geordie rock and roll with the world." Read more here.
