About Lindisfarne

Debut Album

The debut album was entitled “Nicely Out of Tune”, as the band members believed that they were in a “sweet non-compliance” with all the prevalent in the music culture styles and trends. The music disc connected initial optimism of the early pub rock, folk-rock, hippy (“Fairport Convention”, early “Grateful Dead”), as well as the elements of the proletarian song culture of the end of the XIX – the first half of the XX century. The album and singles from it, “Clear White Light” and sad-romantic “Lady Eleanor” (which became the Central thing in the repertoire of the ensemble), did not have a success in the charts, but the concert performance of it decided everything: its popularity was rapidly to grow.

Second Release

The second album “Fog on the Tyne” (1971) consisted mainly of light and melodic, gracefully arranged folk/pub-compositions, entered the British hits in October 1971, and slowly rose up. The single “Meet Me on the Corner" rose up to the 5th place, and immediately the album took off at the top unexpectedly. During the months, “Nicely Out of Tune” occupied the 8th place.

Change of the Label

Transition to the Mercury Records brought the group good luck (the singles “Run for Home” and “Warm Feeling” from the album “Back & Fourth” and “The News” relatively), but then it became clear that they would not return to the lost positions to rise. In the 80s, the group continued to attract a lot of spectators on their concerts and they regularly recorded – especially after they set up their own company Lindisfarne Musical Productions and signed a contract with LMP Records.
