 BBC TV home-page, BBC 2, Newsnight, Thursday, then on the right-hand side should be a "Latest program........" bit.

Hero!

Bet I wasn't the only one with a wry smile over the comment "Amazingly no-one filmed the 1969 line-up!" ......

"trendy", I think we have always been trendy, it has just taken the rest of the nation a little while to realise it.

I thought the piece was excellent, although surprised by the omission of any reference to DM.  Where did the black and white footage of Full House line up come from?  Any ideas?

Still, it therefore appears that the BBC, at least in the form of Newsnight, did record both of Fairports songs at the folk awards.  I tried, via my "informed source" to blag a copy of the "BBC rushes" (the stuff they recorded but did not use in the article) out of the Newsnight team (well if you never ask in life..).  but was told they never release their rushes.  However, it would be a shame beyond compare if this footage of the 1969 Line up was lost.  I do not know if Simon etc have better contacts at the BBC but I would have thought it worth someone far more important than me trying to buy/blag a copy.  Only a thought anyway.

The Rolling Stones played to a million on CopaCabanna (however you Sleepy spell it) beach . Could Fairport play to the same  number on Skegness beach? . I`m off down the bookies  Wink

Wasn't it fantastic? I had tears in my eyes watching it... A really good well informed piece- just what you would expect from Newsnight but not what you would expect to be on about folk music... if you see what I mean Tongue
Well done BBC. Not sure I like being trendy though Grin

Disco 2 possibly. Was it presented by Melody Maker editor Richard Williams? I thought it a better programme than Whistle Test. I couldn't stand those old b&w films they ran over the music. There was also Late Night Line Up presented by Joan Bakewell. What else is in the vaults???
