Lindisfarne co-founder Rod Clements said: "From the moment we heard about Newcastle Stands With Ukraine, we were determined to stand with them in their efforts to bring much-needed support to those who need it most." The singer-songwriter, originally from North Shields and winner of an Ivor Novello Award for Lindisfarne hit Meet Me on the Corner, added: “We are privileged to be performing at this benefit gig at Wylam Brewery as part of a very special occasion in April."
