Loving this Jason
Thoroughly enjoyed the interview and the songs brought back some great memories.
I have always loved Lindisfarne’s music and the various versions of the band. Some times there is some good comes out of break-ups, and Jack The Lad was one of them.
Thanks for this podcast, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I was due to see them a few years back, but my family got stuck in Egypt following the downing of the Russian plane. So I had to be at home to try to help them get home. Billy rang me in the interval for a chat, bless him. Top man and a top band.
Thanks for a great interview with two of the greats of British music and ten superb tracks.
