Artist Details.
With a playing style strongly reminiscent of Jon Martyns ‘Solid Air’ days and a writing style heavily influenced by the same, with generous helpings of Todd Rundgren, Joni Mitchell, World Party and Nick Drake, Al’s true calling has always been the live performance of his original blues and folk tinged set.
Urged by the late great virtuoso guitarist Eric Roche to get out there and play, Al has gone on to gig intensively throughout 2006/2007 playing support slots with artists including Martin Carthy, Tina Dico, as well as performances at Cambridge Folk Festival and Ely Folk Festival, where Al played the main stage to a packed house.

Greetings, I hope all is well and that you had a great weekend...
I have a blog up and running at:
I will mainly write about my life, both as one of the guitarists of Gallows End, and even other things that's going on in my life. I will post things I find amusing and fun, and there will also be guitar drills, exercises and the like now and then.
Yo Al Lindsay (does that make it seem less impersonal?)
Feel free to delete this comment if you're in a band that's gigging in Norwich somewhere else on this date, or if you hate any of the bands playing this gig, or hate me, haha, or don't like people advertising their gigs on your comments. :o)
Nice set on Sunday Al at the Guitar Festival plus really liked the new cd. Hope to catch you again soon. Any info on the Albatros would be much appreciated.
Just wanted to let you know that St Annes Castle, Great Leighs are having a John Martyn/Nick Drake tribute night on 30th April calling it "Northern Skies & Solid Air". Andy McKay is organising it.
I just wondered if you would be interested in coming this way of the world for the night? If you are up for it can you let me know please? I know you are a great fan of both artists' music!
Just dropped by to say hello.Hope all is well with you. Thought I'd drop by and let you know I have uploaded a new acoustic demo called Old Gang. Hope you like it. Have a great week and I'll catch up with you soon!
Hey Al, awesome night with the Floozies on saturday. So glad you've recorded a more 'unplugged' album, and it's sounding superb. Gav www. thelullabys. com
