MEET THEM ON THE CORNER! ... Folk rock legends Lindisfarne playStamford in June
Geordie folk rock legends Lindisfarne are to play Stamford's Corn Exchange this June.
The ever-popular band fronted by co-founder Rod Clements are back touring an extensive repertoire of world-renowned songs delivered in the cheerfully engaging way that has trademarkeditsstage actsince formation in Newcastle in 1970.
Lindisfarne'spioneering sound, combining acoustic instruments like mandolin and fiddle with their electric blues roots, proved the perfect medium forcatchy, memorable songs, many written by band co-founder, Alan Hull.
Hits such as "Meet Me On The Corner", "Lady Eleanor", "Run For Home" and "Fog On The Tyne" continue to resonate down the years, and in the process slipped into the very fabric of British culture.
The Clements-penned hit "Meet Me On The Corner" paved the way for their classic ‘Fog On The Tyne' release to become the UK's top-selling album of 1972.
Further acclaimed albums were to follow, buoyed up by powerful live performances. An accessible, unpretentious style bestowed them with an enviable reputation as festival favourites, while the Lindisfarne annual Christmas concerts held in their native Newcastle became the stuff of legend.
Says Rod: "People keep coming back to Lindisfarne live and while that carries on, we carry on.
"We're thrilled to be playing Stamford - and we're hoping everybody will all join in!"

ABOUT LINDISFARNE
"Meet Me On The Corner", "Lady Eleanor", "Run For Home" and "Fog On The Tyne" are all songs that continue to resonate down the years and in the process have slipped into the very fabric of British culture.
In 2025, Lindisfarne are set to entertain with an extensive repertoire of world-renowned songs delivered in the inimitably engaging way that has trademarked the band's stage act right back to 1970.
Their pioneering sound, combining acoustic instruments like mandolin and fiddle with their electric blues roots, proved the perfect medium for their catchy, memorable songs.
The Clements-penned hit "Meet Me On The Corner" paved the way for their classic ‘Fog On The Tyne' release to become the UK's top-selling album of 1972.
Further acclaimed albums were to follow, buoyed up by powerful live performances. An accessible, unpretentious style bestowed them with an enviable reputation as festival favourites, while the Lindisfarne annual Christmas concerts held in their native Newcastle became the stuff of legend.
Today's Lindisfarne comprises a classic five-piece line up of long-standing members fronted by original founder-member Rod Clements (vocals, mandolin, fiddle, slide guitar), Steve Daggett (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Paul Smith (drums), Ian Thomson (bass) and Alan Hull's son-in-law Dave Hull-Denholm (vocals, guitars, piano).
