Default Folk Music programme 1980's
Bit of a long shot, this, but back in the 1980's, around 1982 I think, the BBC produced a programme about British folk music. I recorded it on video and had it for years, but now it's gone . It had some great music and interviews in it and I'd love to see it again. Any chance someone has a copy???

Martin Carthy and Ewan McColl both spoke, as well as singing, and there were some old films of traditional singers in pubs. Also they linked the 50's early 60's folk scene with the CND movement and there was a rather good version of 'The Sun is Burning@. I can also remember film of a busker in the London underground. It didn't say who she was, but she had a wonderful voice, should have been making records!
