Hello Andy, Welcome!  Hope you are lucky enough to find a recording of the UNICEF Concert! I like your Ralph McTell Site! It's great! In 1977 I heard "Streets of London" for the first time, shortly before my first trip to London, and walking down Knightsbridge Road with all its contrasts, this song was constantly on my mind. Love, Sanna |

Sanna,
The Scottish comedian Billy Connolly told a great story about being driven across London by Ralph McTell.
Billy realised quite soon that Ralph was completely lost and didn't have a clue where he was going.
" But you're the guy who wrote, '...Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London....' laughed Billy. Ralph said, "I know,.. don't tell anyone will you?" LOL

Andy,
Good luck with the search for the Unicef concert, I've only heard a few songs from it myself on an edited video.
Hopefully some day ALL of the live footage of Cat/Yusuf's concerts will be available on DVD,.... we can but dream...
