I received this by email this morning and was unable to source the material. I'm sure one or more of you can come up with the goods for this guy's sister - and I know you'll all empathise with her. If you can help, IM me and I'll put you in touch with him.
I found a clip of a gig from Maidstone 1970 on youtube, and I remember seeing the film (can't remember what it was called) many years ago in a cinema. During the film the camera pans around the audience and captures my sister and her boyfriend on their first date sitting under a tree. My sister has never seen the film.
Fast forward to 2006. My brother-in-law (they married in 1972) passed away on 12th August, and yesterday would have been their 34th anniversary. I would love to get hold of a copy of the film for my sister.
Can you help?

Clips from "the helicopter event" were also featured in Part 1 (I think) of Folk Britannia.

Well what a resourceful bunch you are: in answer to the questions, yes, excerpts were used in Folk Britannia and on the Video you mention, but to be sure of getting the image of the happy couple on their first date, a copy of the whole film would be necessary - and Alex Lyons has a spare! Goatboy also came up with a vid of the entirety so that was belt and braces.
Anyway, thanks to all of you on behalf of the requestee!

Well said Anna! Mr Nicol is quite right, a resourceful bunch indeed and what a happy (hopefully) conclusion to a nice story. |

Coincidentally, this just arrived in my inbox today from a (Dead) trading list I belong to... "I picked this up from another list regarding Youtube "those who use Firefox as their browser can download the VideoDownloader extension to save the clip to their hard disc Not that I ever would of course" nor me https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/ " Yet another reason not to use Internet Explorer. Hypothetically of course....  |

The video is finally being transferred to DVD this weekend, which I'll be duplicating during the week, so hopefully all those who requested a copy should have it by xmas, and if not shortly thereafter.

Apologies to all, it's been transferred and guess what, my DVD player won't read it, my PC says it's an invalid disc  Is there anyone out there (in the UK) who can xfer from VHS to DVD ? If so I could send you the tape, I can still do the duplication and mailing afterwards, I just need a working DVD copy. I *will* get this sorted, eventually, but probably not before the new year now... |

A copy is on its way, thanks to everyone who offered. As for Simon, as far as I'm aware he still wants a copy. Simon ?
