Steeleye Span Mk2 (L-R) Peter Knight, Maddy Prior, Tim Hart, Martin Carthy and Ashley Hutchings perform "The Lark In The Morning" on Ainsdale Beach nr Southport, England. Recorded for Granada TV.
This was televised on Ainsdale beach on a lovely summer eve June 1971. Wow, it's like traveling in time seeing it again. I was there with my cow bell round my neck and my headband at the tender age of 14 :-) So evocative of a time and now I can see how it has influenced me creatively.
@danvers0549 Saw her at the front of Steeleye playing Babbacombe in December a great line up and cracking evening, singing brilliantly

@SapphireGrey Lucky you! Looks like only a few hundred people in the audience, is that right?

@Fibbing01 It's definitely Carthy - unmistakable, surely?

Are you sure it's Martin Carthy on electric guitar? It certainly doesn't look like him to me.
