Geordie folk proggers Lindisfarne have announced a run of live dates around the UK for February and April.

The band now feature founding bassist Rod Clements and Dave Hull-Denholm on vocals, guitars and piano, the son-in-law of late singer and songwriter Alan Hull, along with Steve Daggett (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Paul Smith (drums), Ian Thomson (bass).

"We're not exactly shoe-gazers - we have a lot of fun on stage and I feel that permeates into the audience so that we all wind up sharing the moment," says Clements.
