Ooo, er....let's see....
Somewhere about 1966, Joan Baez singing 'The Great Silkie'.
Bit eaarlier, and onwards...Bob Dylan, singing Bob Dylan stuff.
Must have been 1967ish, on Julie Felix show (British TV), The Corries, with 28-string guitar and enormous bodhran (played with a bone) singing 'Kishmul's Galley'.
Sometime in the 70s, on a TV broadcast of a Scottish concert (the significance of which I can't now recall) which featured all the usual crowd then beloved of British TV - who shall remain nameless, but who Billy Connolly likes to refer to as 'singin' shortbread tins', all doing their 10 minute spots and getting together for the Scottish Old Pals act; then the Corries came on - no tartan - and sang one song - 'Liberty'. Stirring stuff. Makes you think you're Scottish when you're not. Or is that just me?
In the opening sequence (if memory serves) of a black and white film on telly in the 70s (?). Somebody - possibly Bert Lloyd - singing 'Searching for Lambs.
At a folk festival in St George's Hall, Liverpool, 1968/9?. Lizzie Higgins singing McCrimmon's Lament.
Just looking at this list.... there seems to be a preponderance of Scottish stuff. I love it!
