Ian McCallum (born September 1965) is an English guitarist and songwriter.
He was born in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, England and supports Scottish football club Rangers.[1]
McCallum started writing and touring in the early 1980s. He plays guitar for Stiff Little Fingers,[2] [3] and is also a recording artist in his own right.
He is a fan of the English folk-rock band Lindisfarne, and played guitar for them on one occasion when Simon Cowe was unavailable. He also co-wrote, with Lindisfarne member Alan Hull, the band's single "We Can Make It". Additionally, McCallum's album Take Me as I Am (1997) features a cover of the Lindisfarne song "Heroes" (from their album Dance Your Life Away (1986)) and a tribute to Hull "Song for Alan".
