Well spotted!  Yes, it is...

There's a very handsome chap in the audience centre screen at 0.55.

That's an extended trailer for the Fairport @ Forty DVD...

The year they tried to make "Best Wishes" the new "Meet On The Ledge".
Lovely song as it is, nothing against it, but the audience basically said, "We're quite happy with the old Meet On The Ledge, thank you."
Not sure if they've played it since 2007...

Except it's not really, is it - as the DVD which I have came out after the Fairport@Forty DVD and neither the content nor the cover actually mention that DVD at all (this is all very Fairport so far, isn't it).

It is however an edit of it, and presumably one intended as a sampler for the festival to be sent out to, who, I've not quite worked that out yet?

Ok, rephrasing that slightly, it's a promo sampler DVD that uses the same 2007 Cropredy footage as Fairport @ Forty...  

[Tasha]

yes i was about to post exactly the same.

I haven't watched the video since 2008, but I recall a number of American accents among the interviewees. A disproportionate number of them were part of Nancy Covey's Festival Tour. (Mrs. J From A and I were not interviewed,  alas.) It gives the impression of an international festival, which is ironic because I didn't meet any Americans that weekend other than members of our tour group.
