I play in a raggity pub in Phoenix that sees a lot of tourists... Time and time again, Brit visitors pull on my sleeve and tell me I absolutely MUST learn some tunes by a group called Linda's Farm, a Geordie band. They tell me my style would be great for a couple of the tunes, which usually results in spontaneous renditions of some song or another by the table of northerners.

I can't find recordings or lyrics for Linda's Farm... any guidance... discs, lyrics, etc.? Is this group still playing?

Thanks -

Steve

Ya mean Lindisfarne (sp?)

The lead singer and writer moved to Toronto and operated a "Make your own wine" store across the street from us until about three months ago.

I still sing "I'm Coming Home Newcastle". Good song, even for a Canuck.

Cheers

Rick

The remaining members of Lindisfarne are still touring today.I believe they are appearing in Newcastle in the next month or so.I was a fan in the 70's but I suspect I may be disappointed to see them today.I'd just as soon remember them as they were!My personal favourite was CLEAR WHITE LIGHT.

There name was "Linda's Farm" (if it is the same group?)was a popular group back in the Seventy's. The band was from the UK. A military buddy turned me on to them we he came back to the states from England. I think I still have an album stashed somewhere. I pulled them out about 5 years ago. They brought back a lot of memories.
