Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this. Do any still exist? Does anyone else remember this? Mark Ross |

I also have a promo copy of an LP that PBS sent out to radio stations to help promote the series back when it first aired. |

I am also thinking that they have shown footage from it on the large screens at the festival in recent years, but there is a good chance that they used other footage. Gene would know, and his memory is a lot better than mine!! |

I think there were 13 shows in the series. I remember especially Martin Carthy doing Prince Heathen. I was never the same ... |
