Dulcimerjohn, I always thought the 1975 show got wiped. BUT, somebody told me ages ago that that it still exists. Who does one believe? Trouble is, half the time the BBC doesn't know or care what it's got so what chance have we mere mortals?

Don't lose hope - most fans thought there was no decent footage of Sandy Denny, but a few years ago 3 songs from 1971 surfaced and they are now enshrined on DVD. And Full House era Fairport (at the Olympia in Paris)footage has recently appeared on YouTube.

The Talkawhile suggestion is a good one. If you log on you can ask Dave Swarbrick a question this month! And boy are his replies entertaining........
