Yes, the BBC cameras were filming just 25 yards from where I was sitting at the Barbican. It was a truly amazing show, and look forward to watching the BBC4 adaptation - the show ran for something like 70 minutes each half (inclusing false starts from Maddy Prior and PP Arnold) so I'm sure it will be just a selection - on UK TV at least.
Highlights for me were the Sailors Life and Late November at the beginning, Thea Gilmore who is just wonderful and Blair Dunlop. Credit must also go to the excellent band with Jerry Donahue on guitar and occasional appearances by Dave Swarbrick.
Ever tried to get a cab outside the Barbican - absolute shambles, luckily a bus to London Bridge came along after 10 minutes or so, and then a crush in a 4 carriage Thameslink train!
