Ray Laidlaw and Billy Mitchell are hitting the concert trail again in 2025 with the latest instalment of their hit show, 'The Lindisfarne Story'.
Ray and Billy will be playing 12 concerts in March and April taking in venues from Scotland to Yorkshire.
The show, which celebrates the music and heritage of Tyneside's iconic group Lindisfarne, has proved to be immensely popular since it was first staged over 10 years ago.
Every tour has a theme and the Spring 2025 outing will focus on Lindisfarne's debut album, ‘Nicely Out Of Tune.’
Billy commented, 'Ray and I really love touring with this show. Our fans love the stories, the rare video and the stripped-back acoustic versions of their favourite Lindisfarne songs. We can't wait to get back out there.'
Ray added 'Lindisfarne's legecy is amazing, much bigger than we could ever have imagined when we started out in the late 1960's. Our songs have become classics and the influence of the group and respect for the music is remarkable. Some fans travelled from New Zealand to see a recent Lindisfarne Story show.'
“Original and hugely entertaining - a wonderful legacy to the music!”
