Quotes

“Lindisfarne were the real surprise for me at Towersey Festival. Not being of their generation I had been unsure of just how they would go down, but they stormed it. Consummate professionals and great musicians, they surprised me with just how many of their great songs I knew, and those that I didn’t, felt familiar. Wonderful stage presence and rapport with the audience, who I should say came in droves to see them. A no-brainer booking for me. One of the year’s festival highlights.”

Joe Heap – Director – TOWERSEY FESTIVAL Ltd

“This is a classic band, with so much to give in the future. If you haven’t seen them, you are missing out on something truly special.”

Danny Stoakes,  Stoakes Media.

“Put simply Lindisfarne were amazing. The gig, like many on this tour was sold out, the band definitely not”  

Marc Higgins. Northern Sky Magazine.

 “There’s good, and there’s astoundingly good:

there’s amazing, and then there’s exemplary.” 

Darius Drewe, The Carouser.
