This is a very fine live version of 'Clyde Water' by the great Nic Jones (he later recorded it on his classic album 'Penguin Eggs' under the name 'The Drowned Lovers', but this live version, found on the CD 'Game, Set, and Match', is far superior, in my view). Many others have recorded versions of this song, including Kate Rusby and Martin Carthy; other versions of the lyrics can be foundhere, here, here, and here. I'm currently making my own arrangement of this song, using Nic's version as my basic source.
Unfortunately this is audio only; I have not been able to find any surviving movie footage of Nic Jones' performances. Information about Nic (and the reason he stopped performing in 1982) can be found at Wikipedia here and at his own website here.
