BBC1 Christmas 1979 part one

The Cambridge Buskers were the theme for BBC1s Christmas package in 1979. A chance to see both the package intro and the buskers (David "Dag" Ingram and Michael Copley), performing on Pebble Mill at One. P/S stay to the end …

A fantastic, knee jerking performance. I was thinking that they must’ve been chuffed to bits at being the face of the BBC1 Christmas promotions that year, but going by the quality of that performance they well deserved it.

The way the BBC and ITV did their TV schedules and presentations back then *just* to me seemed more creative/special, and thus unique/magical back then!

It's amazing performance

When this came up in my recs and started playing I assumed it was the clip of bloopers from the BBC Xmas Tape. I had no idea that was actually used as part of a trailer package!
