I can tell you who played the music and I can even give you a link to it, but I CAN NOT remember or find the name of the track.

It was used as a theme tune for a 1978 reality TV programme (Yep. Reality TV in 1978).

The musical was Celtic harpist Alan Stivell and the program was called Living in the Past. The theme starts at 2.00.

I might just have it no guarantees though as I can't remember the original.
So as a long shot try "Manx melody" smiley - musicalnotesmiley - musicalnote

Starts at 25.53 but not convinced that the title on the tube video is quite right.

I had the album - I remember the cover.

Getting there.

thank you.

You can call me TC

Have just had a look at this and went to Amazon and sampled all the Alain Stivell tracks I could find until they all started to sound the same but I couldn't find it either. Maybe I should try amazon.fr. But I have a plane to catch.

Now I shall be inundated with Breton music recommendations. Tant pis.
