duluthdan Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Nice. Good song for a rebel this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Well done. And thanks for a good excuse to visit Lindisfarne (in the digital realm), and to read a bit about the band of it's namesake. Good, spirited playing on the J-45. You could put ToneRite out of business ; ) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Lindisfarne.... Named after the beautiful 'Holy Island' off the Northumberland coast I sing 'Meet me on the Corner' every gig And almost as often 'Fog on the Tyne' These guys were hugely popular from 1970 on and reknowned for their 3-4 part harmonies...

Red 333 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Thanks for introducing me to that song and Lindisfarne, flatbaroque. Great song--haunting, really--and your performance of it is perfect for it. Man, there's more than enough talent on this forum to put together a good seasonal or holiday-themed compilation CD. "The Gibson Acoustic Forum Plays Six Strings For The Season". Or, "The Gibson Acoustic Forum Goes Whole Hog For The Holidays" if no one plays a J-200!

MorrisrownSal Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Red - you should start a specific thread for such a demo. Yours should be first - you always do those Christmas cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatbaroque Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Thanks everyone.I wasn't sure whether Lindisfarne were ever popular in the US. Looks as though they had some impact as 62Burst has confirmed. Fun song to play. I found the chords on the band's official website. Chords to 230 songs. Generous people. I think the writer / singer Allan Hull is long gone though. Funny about Red's reference to Hog Heaven.When I was playing it I was thinking this would really sound good on a J-200...Maple Madness! edit...I now realise 62B was referring to visiting the place of Lindisfarne digitally not revisiting vinyl days of the band..so maybe they didn't make it in the US Versatile "meet me on the corner" that's another good one..how about "we can swing together" that was a great sing along.

Lindisfarne were never big here, but they had a bit of a cult following as part of the "magic folk/Celtic folk-rock" school in the late 60's and early 1970's. They were completely overshadowed in the US by their American semi-parallels, as well as some UK groups like Pentangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretplay Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I think you need a Geordie accent to sing it. It's winter in Newcastle Northumberland not Ontario. I saw them play one Christmas Eve Newcastle City Hall late 70s I think. One of the band had a pub in Epping Forest could have been Alan Hull last I heard.

Yep it is a pun.And yep from Roy Harper.When I just joined here there was a classical guitarist that used to post .Matt his name was I think.He specialised in baroque music so the name amused him.He was an unassuming guy but if you followed the links to his homepage...he was one of England's foremost classical players.

Ok sorry for the diversion... See, Flat Baroque I recognized as a pun immediately, but not Murphy Slaw until you pointed it out just now. So I am slow as you but in a different way.
