The Weeley Festival. Clacton On Sea . Essex. August 27th-29th 1971.

Lindisfarne.

LINDISFARNE are unique. Their peculiar driving English folk/ rock owes nothing to non-British sources. It has been said they "Come tripping lightly out of a Northumberland mist," and indeed their work derives much of its energy and allusion from England's hard bitten North-East.
