Tune For Today

[K23]

I saw them live many times through the 1970's, 1980's - but haven't seen them live since one of their lead singers Alan Hull passed away in the mid 1990's.
Abs brilliant live.

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

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.

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."

And there would be 600 in front of you.

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