Thanks Will - from that page:

"42 years on, it was a long held assumption that the footage no longer existed - in fact Granada TV themselves were understood to not own it. But on a similar damp, wet evening in February of 2006 (approx 1.5 miles from the original station site) and hosted by The Manchester Music Archive, the film was shown to a sell out audience of Blues and R&B fans - compared by local music culture historian CP Lee and with a performance from blues legend Victor Brox"

I have left a message for CP Lee on his facebook today. I think the film was shown as part of our Big Green festival last year and am surprised that no one has come back to me locally with tha answer.

Thanks again

Les
