Rab Noakes has been a close associate of Lindisfarne from the very
beginning, and he contributed a song for each of the band's first two albums.
Together Forever remains a concert favourite. Rod went on to tour with
Rab in 1975, in a band which also included drummer Pick Withers and
Geordie guitarist Charlie Harcourt, best recalled as a member of
Lindisfarne Mark II.
1980 Rab Noakes
|
Although the eponymous title of this album might appear to suggest otherwise,
it was (approximately) Rab's fifth album. Once again, Rod played bass.

1983 Under The Rain
|
This album was recorded in Newcastle, and was produced by Rod's longtime
associate & country neighbour Geoff Heslop. This time, Rod contributed
bass and slide guitar, and a certain Ray Laidlaw played drums.
