I recall that Lindisfarne show - they did a few songs from the album 'Back and Forth' too such as 'Warm Feeling' plus of course their hit 'Run For Home'

Gilbert O'Sullivan was featured in another edition doing songs from his new album 'Off Centre' plus a few older hits

not sure of the dates the shows were on but I remember they were Grampian TV

I’ve got a couple of episodes on video, recorded in 1979 I think. Be interesting to know if they’re missing. Will check them out.

STV had this series on their youtube channel about 5yrs or so back along with a lot of other editions don't know if it is still there?
