Filmed some 20 years ago. I was amazed to find it online. Hope it passes a few minutes pleasantly for you.

Fascinating - well worth taking a half hour to watch it.

A number of people have been kind enough to ask me questions on Zoom and elswhere.
Just to answer generally, this was filmed twenty years ago, and was the result of a BBC interest in us both at that time due to my work with Ronnie Wood. We were later filmed by Channel 4, a snatch of this is seen with my helping to tack up a horse with the late John the Bear. That is his daughter on the collar.
I redirected the BBC programme to include a young Gypsy girl who had qualified as a supply teacher. By the way if you are interested in the Gypsy stove, there is one in the pub where the 'Grand Union' Folk Club meets in Sileby. I couldn't get them to sell it though!! Finally the song is Master McGrath. Top of the pops with Gypsy folk. Much better unaccompanied I think, but it suits the film with guitar. I will gladly answer any other questions. I am quite surprised not only to find the film but that there is still interest in it.
