Lindisfarne are one of the great British folk rock bands that in 1971 would make their second album "Fog On The Tyne" the best-selling album in the UK.
Originally formed in 1968 by vocalist and guitar Alan Hull, Ray Jackson vocalist, harmonica and mandolin, Simon Cowe, keyboards, guitar and mandolin, Rod Clements bass and Ray Laidlaw on drums.
With a style that highlighted the sensitivity and soft melodies of British folk they released some of the best albums of the genre during the 70s.
In 1978 they released their sixth album "Back And Fourth" with which they would manage to return to their lost roots in their two previous albums and making a beautiful album where the beautiful "Run For Home" stands out, one of the best British ballads of all times, but also the cheerful "Juke Box Gypsy", the country folk "Warm Feeling", the pop folk "Woman", the folky blues "Kings Cross Blues" the rock "Get Wise" or the rhythmic folk "You And Me" .
