From Loudersound.
Geordie folk proggers Lindisfarne have announced a whopping 60-date UK tour running from April all the way through to the band’s traditional end-of-tour seasonal show at Newcastle’s O2 City Hall venue on December 21, and includes appearances at Newport’s Tredegar House Folk Festival, Weyfest in Guildford and the aptly named Lindisfarne Festival. You can view all the dates below.
“People keep coming back to Lindisfarne and while that carries on, we carry on,” laughs founding member and sole original Rod Clements. “Each year we seem to put on more shows and we’re thrilled to be adding 02 Academy theatres to our itinerary in 2024.”
At the same time a new three-disc box set, Brand New Year: The Mercury Years 1978-1979 will be released through Cherry Red Records on May 24. The set includes all of the band’s recordings for Mercury, with 15 tracks previously unreleased on CD.
The ‘classic’ Lindisfarne line-up regrouped in 1978 after the band had taken a two-year hiatus and signed to the Mercury label, for whom they recorded the double-live album Magic In The Air, recorded at the original one-off reunion show at Newcastle City Hall, and two studio albums, 1978’s Back And Fourth, which spawned the Top Ten hit Run For Home, and 1979’s less successful The News.
A four-disc Alan Hull collection, the 90-track anthology Singing A Song in the Morning Light, which features 77 previously unreleased tracks, with several dozen titles previously undocumented, is out now through Cherry Red Records.
