FOLK rock veterans Lindisfarne will visit Carlisle in the middle of a brand-new tour.

The band take their ‘2021 Fingers Crossed Tour!’ to The Old Fire Station on December 5.

The Geordie legends are celebrating over 50 years on the road at the venue with a set including memorable hits delivered in the engaging way that has trademarked the band’s stage act since 1970 when the late Alan Hull and Rod Clements emerged from Tyneside to carve a unique place for themselves in British rock music.

The original band finally called it a day in 2003, but now Lindisfarne are back with a classic 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).

With a repertoire of much-loved songs like ‘Meet Me on the Corner’, ‘Fog on the Tyne’, ‘Lady Eleanor’ and ‘Run For Home’ and a reputation for live performance second to none, Lindisfarne’s power to galvanise festival and concert audiences remains undimmed - guaranteed to get the Carlisle crowd on its feet and singing along.

“We’re looking forward to re-booting last year’s birthday celebrations,” says Rod. “It really is time to party!”
