Former members of one of the North East's most beloved bands are reuniting once again for a special homecoming gig to help homeless communities in the area.
Ray Laidlaw and Billy Mitchell, once of Newcastle rockers Lindisfarne, are touring the nation later this year, ending with the unique benefit show in North Shields for the charity North East Homeless. The pair announced the second run of dates in November following a "fantastic" response to the first leg of the Lindisfarne Story UK tour earlier this year.
The pair’s performance will celebrate 50 years of Fog on the Tyne, the album which escalated the band to worldwide acclaim and was the UK's biggest selling album in 1971. Ray and Billy tell its remarkable story with a combination of rare video, unseen photographs, acoustic versions of their favourite Lindisfarne songs, and tales from life on the road and in the recording studio.
