Formed in the early 1970's, Lindisfarne had a very strong following in their native Newcastle. Several successful releases including "Fog On The Tyne," which became something of an anthem for the North East, and "Meet Me On The Corner" - one of my all-time favourites.
James Alan Hull, known as Alan Hull was the founder of Lindisfarne and a much loved and respected musician not just in his native Newcastle but worldwide.
He was an active supporter of the Labour Party and his death was mentioned in the House Of Commons by way of an early day motion.
Alan died suddenly, aged only 50 on 17th November 1995, from a heart thrombosis.
