Nicely Out Of Tune

Product Information

All above is correct except that Dave Wood, in addition to being the engineer on all of Alan's and Lindisfarne's early demos, was also the owner of Impulse Studios in Wallsend, the third partner in Hazy Music and Alan's / Lindisfarne's manager.

Track B1 published by Hazy/Heathside, Track B4 published by Stratsong and Track B5 published by Essex Music. Long before Lindisfarne made their first album we had a collective interest in things visual and often fantasised about what our sleeve would be like when we eventually made our first album. Title change because Lindisfarne's in-joke 'Alan in the River with Flowers' = 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' did not amuse the americans so they reverted to the songs original title. Mr Bolton, owner of the local garage that regularly repaired Lindisfarne's vans at ridiculously low cost.Ray Jackson and myself had met at art college, a well-known safe haven for musicians who had yet to figure out how to make a living from music. milligrammes later, Hull tripped for a month and still had flashbacks in 1978 (‘pretty frightening, really’). He came out of the end with songs that were in Lindisfarne’s repertoire for years, notably Lady Eleanor, Winter Song, Clear White Light (pt. Since I am a huge fan of Genesis, reading their history, I found out that they used to open for this band, so was obviously very curious as to what this band may sound like as they were being booked together.

Our self-promoted gigs at venues like Jesmond Banqueting Hall and the New Orleans Jazz Club attracted a clientele who were as daft as us and often remarked on the whacky self-produced advertising material that had drawn them to our gigs.For a while an artist friend of ours produced a monthly, hand drawn, one sheet comic, featuring the mythical exploits of our band. Hull decided to try some, but didn’t realise it had a delayed effect and kept popping pills until something happened.

An antique frame with a picture of the band in the centre and a special font echoing the Northumbrian origins of our name would be the main features. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Then there is the "Hull family", Alan's wife Pat and their daughters Rosamund, Francesca and Berenice. The record itself comes in a printed brown paper inner sleeve with a small white band logo in the centre.

Nicholas’ Hospital in Newcastle, in the days when alcoholics were prescribed 25 milligrammes of LSD per day. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Nicely Out of Tune was Lindisfarne’s debut album, released on Charisma when they were touring with two labelmates, Van der Graaf Generator and Genesis, and holding their own. On the other hand, the followers could probably sing every word of ‘We can swing together’ and I suspect the roof came off on several venues when this was played live. Coming from the pre-LF time still under the name of "Brethren" and "Downtown Faction" are Jeff Sadler and Richard Squirrel.
