I'd like to thank Ian for directing us to these clips. I've really enjoyed seeing them and I think they capture the feeling of the time very well. It's interesting to see how those performers (nearly all of whom I've seen in the flesh in recent years) have developed and aged (or not!). I really can't see that carping on about the choice of performers shown has any more point than complaining about the Fair Isle jumper or those ill-advised trousers of Martin Simpson's.

It's a great snapshot of folk activity in the early 1980s.
