Folk Rock Legends Lindisfarne Return to Whitby This May

If you love classic folk rock, then here’s something to mark on your calendar—Lindisfarne is set to play Whitby Pavilion Theatre on Saturday, May 24, 2025. These Geordie icons, known for hits like Run For Home, Meet Me On The Corner, and Lady Eleanor, are back on the road, proving their music still resonates with audiences old and new.

Lindisfarne’s Timeless Appeal

Not every band can keep a live audience coming back for over five decades, but Lindisfarne makes it look easy. Rod Clements, one of the band's original members, sums it up perfectly:

"People keep coming back to Lindisfarne live, and while that carries on, we carry on."

That dedication is why they remain a festival favourite and continue to pack out venues across the UK. Their mix of acoustic folk, bluesy roots, and electric energy has been their signature sound since they first hit the scene in the 1970s.

A Band That Became Part of British Culture

Some bands have hit songs, and then there are those whose music becomes part of the culture. Lindisfarne fits firmly into the second category. Their tracks have stood the test of time, with Fog On The Tyne becoming the UK's best-selling album of 1972. That success was built on the momentum of Meet Me On The Corner, a Rod Clements-penned folk classic that set them on their path to becoming one of Britain’s most enduring bands.

With a mix of heartfelt lyrics, catchy melodies, and a genuine connection with their fans, it's no wonder their annual Christmas concerts in Newcastle became legendary.

The 2025 Line-Up

The band’s current lineup includes:

• Rod Clements – vocals, mandolin, fiddle, slide guitar
• Steve Daggett – vocals, guitars, keyboards
• Paul Smith – drums
• Dave Hull-Denholm – vocals, guitars, piano (and son-in-law of the late Alan Hull)

This line-up brings together original members and newer faces, keeping the spirit of Lindisfarne alive while adding their own energy to the band’s timeless sound.
