SCURRILOUS gossip will be mixed with folk classics on Monday, April 4, and it’s all thanks to Nettlebed Folk Club.

The group will be welcoming Lindisfarne for a belated 50th anniversary celebration.

Back in 1971, the group released their first album, setting them on the road to success

It was their second album, Fog On The Tyne, that topped the UK charts for six weeks this time in 1972.

To celebrate, frontman Billy Mitchell and founder member Ray Laidlaw are back on the road, to tell the group’s story, perform classic hits, tell tall tales and share some of the magic from the past five decades.

The set list will include acoustic performances of Lady Eleanor, Meet Me On The Corner, Fog On The Tyne, Run For Home

One reviewer noted: “A fantastic night with The Lindisfarne Story. There are so many words to describe the show and you will feel many emotions with it.

“It is a real insight into the history of the band and the talented individuals that have forged many fantastic songs over five decades. It really is very special.

“Catch it before it’s gone.”

The club is running at 80% capacity due to covid. It takes place in the village club on Nettlebed’s High Street.

Doors open at 7.50pm on Monday, and tickets should be booked in advance by calling

01628 636620 between 10am and 8pm, or from: www.nettlebedfolkclub.co.uk
