   Singing in Gaelic and with tom toms? That doesn't sound like Steeleye to   
   me. Or was there a lineup I missed?   
      
   Err... You say you taped it in the 1990s but was there any indication   
   that this was being broadcast as a current bit of video. Might it have   
   been from the archives?
