HW: 1970's footage

[Michael Crook]

Hello everyone,
There was the clip (all 5 seconds of it) of Terry Ollis on that documentry on the IoW festival on BBC 2 a couple of weeks ago (the one with Mick Farren). Was this part of that 1970 film without sound that was unearthed a few years ago or somthing else? Maybe the producer or researcher of the programme could be contacted to provide some answers. Unfortunately I didn't tape it, but if anyone did there may be names in the end credits who could be contacted. Surely the clip must be just a small part of a bigger feature on the band - just think, lying on a dusty shelf in the BBC archives is footage of HW playing for free in 1970!
