A MEDIA lecturer from Teesside is publicising the latest tour by North-East legends Lindisfarne.

Dave Hill, a media lecturer at Cleveland College of Art, has been involved in the music industry since the 1970s and now runs his own record company.

As a fan of Lindisfarne, he got to know the band members while working on their biography and has now been invited to organise coverage of their show at Darlington Arts Centre on Wednesday.

Mr Hill is no stranger to celebrities - he once dropped Paul McCartney's mixing desk while recording and went on to work with musicians such as Lenny Kravitz, Motorhead and the Eurythmics.
