Sadly Bill Caddick died last month ( 1944- 2018). We will miss chatting to him at The Boat Inn, Jackfield. Condolences to Katherine and sons Tam and Christy.
I'm afraid that's not possible. This was broadcast by the Scottish STV channel in 1985. The whole programme and others from the series have been posted by STV themselves elsewhere on UA-cam. Search for "The Corries and Other Folk".
Thank you for posting this. I suddenly remembered this song and how much I loved it, but I couldn't remember much more than the title and a scrap of the tune, at the end of the chorus. I asked Google, and this blessed performance was one of the first hits, if not THE first.
Jimzee, I can’t agree with you more! I don’t want to die before I get to hear Christy live! Let’s get this awful Covid under control and please God, my dream will come true!
2019 when this concert took place and unfortunately I could not get to it. But pleased the concert is available on You Tube so I can keep dropping it. Sadly the following year Ted was taken by Covid can not believe next April it will be 4 years. He is still missed.
Hi Fin - sorry, I only have that 1 clip from that particular performance. I do have 1 or 2 other clips of Christy. I'll try to get them posted in the near future. All the best.

Jean Redpath and The Clancy Family do real good jobs.
