The Songs of Alan Hull with Dave Hull Denholm from Lindisfarne & Friends

Celebrating Alans Birthday 20th Feb 1945 - Alan would have been 81 years old

Tonight's performance will be very special with some interesting guests

When Alan Hull, front man and songwriter of legendary band Lindisfarne died his widow Pat asked their son-in-law Dave Hull-Denholm to sort through Alan's home studio. Dave discovered dozens of demo tapes of previously unheard material and thought the best way to bring it to the attention of Lindisfarne's faithful fans and the wider public was to record some of the songs. These recordings were released as the album 'Some Other Time' in 2016. In between Dave's other musical commitments as the lead singer and guitarist with Lindisfarne.

A performance of familiar and lost songs written by Alan Hull,

Over 25 years on from the untimely passing of the great Alan Hull, his legacy of songs and poetry has stood the test of time and remains an important part of our national culture and heritage. His music inspired a generation of songwriters from Elvis Costello to Noel Gallagher to Sam Fender, and continues to influence young writers and musicians today.

His son-in-law, Dave Hull-Denholm, gained a unique insight into the music and the mind of Alan while working as his sideman for several years before his death, as well as his time as a member of Lindisfarne where he has taken over the bulk of the singing role and brings to the stage a poignant and genuine delivery of the songs.

The songs retain their essence and purity in a stripped-down form delivered with honesty and unparalleled musicality.

Dave has worked up a sizable repertoire including many of the classics and some recently discovered pre-Lindisfarne songs, which can be found on their album "Some Other Time".

This will be a very special night with tears of Joy and Sadness. Don't miss this one
