It’s definetely Fairport Convention, in their first album line-up, still with Judy Dyble on vocals (ca 1968). The song is a cover of Mimi & Richard Farinha’s “Reno, Nevada”. From the same TV sessions there is also a live performance of “Time Will Show The Wiser”, originally recorded by Emitt Rhodes band The Merry-Go-Round.

I never thought for one moment it was NOT Fairport. Richard Thompson has confirmed he owned a GS30. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can confirm or otherwise?

Errr… try to get yer rappers or Winehouse copyists to put on a show like that!!! Not to mention - who, today, could afford to put a band that size on the road?

Watch and weep for extravagances such as well never see again!

Ah, well… back to introspective Indie-Rock …

Better than on that 1956 EP - but how did the guitarist play his Grimshaw with the strap slung like that?

I have been reliably informed that the colour was opalesent white which changed to what ever colour light was directed on it, unfortunately it usually
went to a pink colour.

I like many others just assumed it was a Gibson LP he was playing, thanks for putting the record straight.
