Ray LaidlawI was born in Tynemouth and started playing in groups at 14. I was educated in Newcastle, mostly at the Club a Gogo. A group I had been in since 1966 became very popular in 1970, changed their name to Lindisfarne and had lots of hit records. I was interested in making music films and met TV director Geoff Wonfor. Together we produced and directed Lindisfarne’s early promotional films. I've continued to do the same things ever since, combining performing, TV and video production, event production and the administration of the Sunday for Sammy Trust.
