Ian McCallum (born September 1965) is a Scottish guitarist. Born in Kenton, Newcastle Upon Tyne, England he now lives in Los Angeles. He started writing and touring in the early 1980s. He plays guitar for Stiff Little Fingers,[1][2] and is also a recording artist in his own right.
He is a fan of Lindisfarne, and in fact played guitar for them on one occasion when Simon Cowe was unavailable. He also co-wrote, with Alan Hull, the band's single "We Can Make It". The 1997 McCallum album Take Me as I Am features a cover of the Lindisfarne song "Heroes" (from Dance Your Life Away) and a tribute to Alan Hull - "Song for Alan".
