Ray Jackson has announced that LINDISFARNE are back......permanently.
All six members of the new LINDISFARNE, (the 3rd line-up that Ray Jackson has founded in a career spanning over 40 years) are from Tyneside. Ray Jackson’s LINDISFARNE will only be performing Christmas Shows this December, including a third night at Newcastle City Hall, Middlesbrough, Harrogate and Hull.
Ray Jackson’s LINDISFARNE are:
- Ray Jackson (from the original LINDISFARNE......mandolin/harmonica/lead vocals)
- Dave Hull-Denholm (from the 1990’s LINDISFARNE line-up......guitars/lead vocals)
- Paul Thompson (from Roxy Music.....known by Roxy Music fans worldwide as “The Great Paul Thompson”.......drums)
- Ian Thomson (from the 1990’s LINDISFARNE line-up......bass guitar/double bass/vocals)
- Charlie Harcourt (from LINDISFARNE Mk 2.......guitars/vocals)
- Steve Daggett (toured and recorded with the (reformed in 1978) original line-up......guitars/keyboards/vocals)
On the subject of the involvement of the remaining members of the original line-up, the manager of the new Lindisfarne, Barry McKay, says:
"I do hope that the time will be right in years to come, for the 4 remaining members of the original band to appear together on stage at Newcastle City Hall at Christmas. There will be Christmas Shows in Newcastle ever year from now onwards and so perhaps this is something to look forward to at some future time. Meanwhile there is much to enjoy in 2013. Following the announcement of the new line-up, circa 50% of the tickets for December 20th are already sold. This show will sell out soon and no further shows will be added this year."
