Dominic Bewley, offspring of Edinburgh folkie worthies, has shared the below very enjoyable link with me. At 3min - 4.50 min see Hamish and Dolina [sounding oddly high] trading verses. Must be many well-kent faces from Edinburgh early Revival days to be recognised in the rather riotous pub audience.
Later, 8 min to 12.08, Robin and Jimmy sing over some nice footage of Glasgow kids etc.

Dolly's voice always rather high, and it would have been nice to have a bit more real folk music, rather than Sadler's Wells Opera (nowadays known as English National Opera). I thought the pub audience were a bit subdued, but it was nice to see it - didn't they look young!
