What is that bass that Mark is playing at 4:00 onwards? Pangborn maybe?

@jazzzzdude think this was on channel 4, might be worth asking them if they still have a copy!

Thanks for posting this, fantastic! I used to walk past Chets Music School for years in Manchester, never knew Lindup went there :)

@retroglide2000 Don't worry - taking note is exactly what I am doing! Just figured out the chords to this one which I'm happy about! There are decent musicians out there today (I'm 27).

Where did you get this from? I saw this on TV in 1983 I think. I even emailed the BBC a couple of years back to see if they had it but no luck. It was either a 30 minute or 1 hour documentary. Fantastic. There's also a Whistle Test On The Road of them from the Pursuit of Accidents Tour that I saw in 1982 on BBC2 but I've never seen it since.
