Radio Times: Live At The Bbc

Limited eight CD set. Covering the period 1971-90, this lavish set anthologizes Lindisfarne's BBC output as never before. One of the UK's most successful folk-rock bands of the 70s live at the BBC. More than eight hours of recordings, over half previously unreleased. Compiled by Colin Harper with Lindisfarne founder members Rod Clements, Ray Jackson & Ray Laidlaw. Formed in the culturally distinct Tyneside area of England's North-East in 1968, Lindisfarne blended the mercurial song writing talent of singer/guitarist Alan Hull with 'sweet and sour' harmonies, proud references to their homeland and a boozy, uplifting acoustic-rock swagger that won over the masses in Britain in the early 70s.
