Its is amazing that folkies can discuss this film without anyone mentioning the fact that in the original film the young fiddler was a 19 year old Ian Cutler, one of our best fiddlers (UK). In spite of the passage of time he still looks just the same today - well, almost! He only appeared in the early scenes because he had to rush off to Essex to fulfil a gig in a ceilidh band. What would you do - a ceilidh or Britt Ekland ??
