Subject: RE: The Not The Finger In Ear Show (1982)
I too set my VHS machine for this. Lord knows where it's gone now. Well done Ian for finding it.
I would imagine that the original Open Door strand of programmes would not have been very high up on the Beebs archiving food chain, and has long since been wiped. So, Ian, you may have the only extant copy! Transfer it to DVD/Hard drive instantly, against the day when BBC4 turn their spotlight on English music again.
I don't think that contractual issues would be a problem, After all repeat fees, would be silly, as everyone did it for free anyway!

Now heres an idea. Why not issue it as a cover DVD on a future fRoots mag? Saves you compiling a CD for once! And then some of your overseas readers might get a chance to see the sartorial elegance!

Oh, and I'm with Joanie. Re-adjust Mr Simpsons contract to include those trousers for every gig, or no fee!

Personally, I remember driving down the M3 on a regular basis to visit Stagfolk. Lawrence even gave my little beat combo a couple of gigs there. Top Man.
