June Tabor - 'While Gamekeepers Lie Sleeping' Live on Fanfare

Here we have the beautiful June Tabor performing the traditional English folk song 'While Gamekeepers Lie Sleeping' on a TV show called Fanfare. I have also included a little interview segment post performance for you all to enjoy.

Damn she was beautiful. And what a singer. Still brilliant today.

Thanks for posting this little gem! What a rare bit of archival footage of one of the best folksingers from England!

No problem. We've got to share these thing for future generations to find.

So...when was this broadcast? Anyone? June has been one of my favorites since I discovered her with Maddy Prior in Silly Sisters. This is golden!

Cecil Sharp!

This is wonderful! I'm fascinated by the show too - who were all the other people? Were they all guests too, or presenters? I loved how they all asked her such interesting questions!

There was a sort of manufactured kids band called Flintlock with their own show mid 70s. I think it comes from this TV. Series

Yes! I love how they are all so polite and attentive, and seem genuinely interested in her! You don’t see that often from pop stars.

Gosh, how old was June here? 15? Fantastic singing.

World weary enough for a great eye roll after the poor introduction. 😂
