From the Archives
I have been digging through the archives of my musical and professional career and hope you enjoy this nostalgic journey!
The ownership of this material isn't mine. Much of it can be found on YouTube, which is where I found it. Should the copyright holders take exception to their clip's inclusion, I will, of course, immediately take it down.
Television Interviews...
Song Book
Singing on the kids’ programme 'Song Book' with the joyous Kathy Jones (pictured here with Leo Dove) in 1978 for Granada Television. This footage was acquired from the GTV library as research for a programme on Tony Wilson to which I was a contributor. In the course of the research, the producers found this footage and burned me a copy…including a few speed-reels through from one clip to the next.
interview with Dave Brubeck on Thames Television's
Extracts from my interview with American jazz pianist and composer Dave Brubeck on Thames Television's 'Afternoon plus' First shown: 07/04/1983 The current copyright holders have chosen to include only part of the interview…disappointing, but that is their prerogative. As you will see, they are using YouTube as a means of publicising their back catalogue. But at least it proves I was really there…
