Thread Name: Access to old Folk Films? (British too)
Subject: Access to old Folk Films? (British too)
Back in '02, Burke put us on to FolkStreams.net, with their wonderful array of folk culture films - and Desert Dancer had a recent thread about the Pete Seeger (et al) banjo one, which you can actually download(!) from AV Geeks International Film Archive.
Good Stuff!! Are there any more???
I'm also interested in folk TV programmes - and there must be heaps from British TV from the early Folk Revival times, even if now it's a bit light-on! :~)
Surely there's some footage in the BBC Archives (for example) - but do any 'Catters know if any of it is accessible to the average internet surfer???
