Footage of Peter Bellamy!

[MarkvN]

Hi,

 

Intrigued by the playing of the famous Peter Bellamy I was just about to ask this forum if there really doesn't exist any footage of him talking and/or playing – when there it is!

A 10-minute interview in his living room, in front of a massive wall of music casettes, covering about every kind of music imaginable, and the man himself singing and playing two songs !

Essential stuff, I guess!? (But do not have too high an expectation of the recording quality ...)

 

(interview)

 

(playing and singing)

 

Cheers,

 

Mark

Thanks for the link , it's an important document. Peter had a phenomenal set of influences and knowledge.

I had a closer look at the way Peter Bellamy plays the concertina. He had such a peculiar – as in 'unique' – style. Would it be blasphellamy to suggest that there might be traces of a harmonica there, especially in the second song – sometimes reminiscent to, say, Bob Dylan? And, he doesn't seem to have much use for the air button.
