Hull was a great songwriter, bought his solo album, Pipedream, back in the day.

Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr
All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.
Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.
It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.
The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.
Thank you though for all the memories
Phil Sumbler
Owner, jackarmy.net

Saw them in The Rank about 1982.

The first time I saw them live, was through a very drunken haze - in the Teacher's Training College, Townhill, in approx 1971.

Seeing in bands in those days was a tad different. Saw 10cc there in 73/74 with about 600 people all sitting on the floor cross legged so as to pack in as many as possible. Didn't hurt or ache then if I I tried to do that today I'd be in the queue at A&E.The first time I saw them live, was through a very drunken haze - in the Teacher's Training College, Townhill, in approx 1971.

I think this might have been their appearance in the Grand Theatre 1993.
Taken from a music forum and the subject was Lindisfarne ...
"I also, very fortuitously, caught the tour with The Strawbs (a very fancy bar stage design, as I remember)."
" I was visiting family in Swansea with wife, & we popped into a town centre bar (The Builder's Arms, for anyone who knows Swansea) where - unbelievably - we spotted Lindisfarne playing cards, a table or two away. I - eventually - plucked up the courage to say hello, get some autographs & ask them what they were doing in Swansea and it turns out they were playing a gig in the local theatre."
" Alan asked why we weren't going so we told him we were just visiting town & didn't realise they were playing. He told us the gig was sold out but give him a minute & he'd sort something out. He came back a few moments later & told us that he'd persuaded the theatre manager to let us stand at the back of the theatre for the duration of the show as his guests. Extraordinary! Not only that, but at the end of the show the band came & sat with us for a while in the venue bar to see how much we'd enjoyed it."
"They say "don't meet your heroes but Lindisfarne - & Alan Hull, in particular, were real gentlemen that night."

I was just listening to Joey Ramone’s 2012 posthumous album Ya Know? in the car and I’ve always loved this track.
