Al Stewart Cambridge Folk Festival - 29/07/89 (As broadcast by the BBC)

I used to really enjoy listening and indeed recording the BBC Radio 1 In Concert series on a Saturday evening during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. I also caught a few BBC Radio Friday Rock Show and Capital Radio sessions. I still have the cassette tapes and as the BBC has no immediate plan to make these available to the public I have decided to release close to 250 of these historical recordings on my RUclips channel.

Brought back so many memories. Thanks for posting. No idea this was recorded by the BBC

This has made my day, thanks for the upload! I've let the folk at the Al Stewart facebook group know about it too; they'll no doubt be as thrilled as I am!

Just brilliant! So good to hear Al live in concert playing all those great songs... And he is so clear & confident in his report with the audience...And always so witty & funny. Loved his remark about " more like tin foil than heavy metal " Rock on Al! Time to put out a new album of new or older songs that have not been released before... The 20's need you... Respect!

Wow! My second CFF. I wrote to the council organisers thanking them for the awesome 1988 festival... And suggested they get Al Stewart -which they wonderfully did :) we spent the whole afternoon on our blanket, as you did in those easy to move around in days. Thank you so much for posting this concert. Never thought I'd be able to hear this again. Didn't know the BBC recorded them back then. So cool :)

Ditto. This was my 3rd CFF. Unbelievably, my fiancé drove from St Mawgan and somehow found me asleep in my one man tent😂. Al was amazing, I bought his Best of Album at the festival. Just listened to it (transferred to mp3 almost 20 years ago) in the bath. I was trying to find out what year he played and found this. Fantastic.

As you now know from my post on the Davy Spillane gig at the same festival, I was there! A very special day that was. Both shows have given me a very strange feeling of melancholia - to hear something from a long time ago you assumed you'd never hear again. Greatly appreciated that you posted these.
