On the 21st of December 1977 Lindisfarne walked on the stage for the first of five concerts at Newcastle City Hall. The concerts were more than an event - They were an historic occasion. The electric atmosphere, the magic in the air, the music and the audience added up to an event that no-one present will ever forget.
To the audience: 'We cannot find the words to describe the magic you created for us over the five concerts at Newcastle City Hall' Alan, Jacka, Si, Ray and Rod.
