😂Indeed it is! I miss it too from time to time. The TV was a kind of warming fireplace for the whole family to gather around in those days. We had a fireplace too back then and used coal or even wood for fuel. Double cosy during those long winter nights. Just memories now.
A time when virtually everything had their Sunday dinner at lunchtime, and teatime in the afternoon was made up of sandwiches, mixed fruit out of a can and sponge cake with jam in the middle. Thanks mum. RIP.
I remember I used to play up as a young kid, as Sunday dinner was the big thing, and I still don't enjoy it to this day. I suppose a carvery is the closest now. Mum used to make Spotted Dick (suet pudding), rice pudding, semolina, sticky toffee pudding, rhubarb and custard. Of course I wanted them whenever she made them! Teatime was tinned salmon sandwiches, "angel" cakes, jelly and ice cream, crackers and cheese. Memories 🙂
@@DrMontague my mum covered dad's plate with foil and put it on a saucepan of water to reheat it. I had my hand thwack more than once trying to nab a bit of the meat😊
My god. I have not heard this song for about 50 years. I had absolutely forgotten that it even existed. I don’t think I have ever heard it outside the TV show. What a memory.
I'm 59 this year and clearly remember the TV show and our music teacher Mrs Bainbridge having us all sing this song on Monday afternoon singing. Happy times.
@@Michael-mm3fm hey ... We weren't far off lol. She divided 30 of us into sections to cover all the vocal parts. She was very strict and passionate music teacher.
@@paulbyrne2445 man, amazing. I’m thinking about our class learning Joseph and the Dreamcoat. I can’t help thinking the 20th century was a lot more wholesome than what there is now.
First time actually seeing the Settlers perform this song , first time hearing it in five decades , wonderful , thank you TH-cam for connecting us with our youth .
One of the most memorable times watching Follyfoot with my mum Sunday afternoon with our tea, sadly they they don't make anything like that any more 😢 RIP mum🙏🙏
I know what you mean, I have always loved horses and Follyfoot was a favourite of mine; my Mum recorded the theme song from the TV amongst other songs on an old reel to reel recorder doing a voice over (she had a very gentle geordie accent), I miss my Mum as well (48 years now) RIP Mum❣🌹
@@1234mikechrisThank you, I don't know where all the years have gone - many of my favourite programmes were watched together with my Mum and/or Dad which I see a lot in the comment sections with people sharing memories attached to programmes that are special to them.
I’ve got the boxed set of all three series. The last time I watched it was on a black and white TV. They haven’t spoiled it by cleaning up the little lines and spots that appear and disappear on screen. Some may not like that, but to me it just adds to the great nostalgic value. When I watch it, all that’s missing is my mum and dad sigh. Happy TV watching memories when we had no real worries as a kid.
Back in the 1970's I was a stage electrician and was so lucky to light 3 shows by this amazing group and I have to say Lightning Tree sounds even better live. Mike the leader of the group even attended the same school as me (but not at the same time) an absolute gentleman, sadly now departed us. I always enjoyed working with Mike, John, Cindy and Geoffrey I learned so much from their shows that helped me in my stage lighting career. I cannot thank them enough.
I was born in 62, I know exactly what you say. Just like the the song says mate” never give in to easily” I’m 62 now and I’m never going to give in to this insane world until the day I draw my last breath. Who knows, stay strong! Fantastic memories mate.👍
It was the sheer range and variety of music that set the 70s apart, rock, pop, glam, metal, progressive, motown, disco, reggae, punk, mod revival, classical, country and western, instrumental and i bet i still missed a few. A wonderful time to be young.
@@jennifergirling6850More to the point a genre missed was this particular one , folk music. Two comments listing genres and no mention of the one actually being performed, interesting.
This band is from the sixties. They started out in 1964, and this particular song is from 1971, so very early seventies. In any case, we all have our opinions, but the sixties had a lot of variety already. Even as a teenager I didn’t think the seventies were an improvement musically.
Snow white and the seven dwarfs! Cryptologists take note: The whole point of marching around the walls of Jericho was to show Israel's faithfulness to God through an act of worship. Scripture records that “seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord's covenant followed them” (Joshua 6:8).31 Jan 2022 NATIONAL GRID TAKE NOTE!!! *THAT MONSTROSITY IS COMING DOWN!!!*
Like it was just yesterday. Happy times as a child. The theme was performed by Birmingham-based folk band The Settlers, who - by 1971, when they recorded the song - had already been together for the best part of a decade. Comprising Cindy Kent on vocals, Mike Jones on guitar, John Fyffe on banjo and Mansel Davies on bass (replaced in 1965 by Geoff Srdzinski).
I have this tune saved to my playlist along with the theme from Black Beauty, White Horses, Sleepy Shores, all memories from my childhood and so sentimental. Takes me right back and I seem to remember having a bit of a crush on the guy from Follyfoot Farm lol.
Haha 😂 Me also!!! ..... I'd watch anything & everything that was related to horses & ponies. I'm 57 this year, a member of my local horse association in Andratx, Mallorca (where I live now)...... "Assocació de Carreters i Cavallistes d'Andratx" ... (& understandably still riding) Still look up any films horsey related as well!!!
This superb song was used for the 'Follyfoot' TV series. Made No.36 in the charts in 1971. The single recording was arranged and conducted by the great Johnny Pearson. Great harmonising.
Brilliant song and performance..just great memories from when I was a child x All the band come across as really lovely people and I love how they perform...all adds up to one quality, entertaining act 😊
It was tough back in the seventies too, its just that people forget, my parents worked extremely hard to give us a good life, nostalgia can warp your memory a bit 😮
True but it was a much easy and interesting life for kids, spent whole summers out, either in the street playing kerbs or tennis over hedge or off to the woods with a bottle of orange squash and matbe some beef paste sandwiches and a swim in the river, we didn't always have 50p for the electric meter, but hey is was summer and light till late
I first heard this tune around 1978-79 when watching a clip from "Follyfoot" series on a french canadian tv channel. Decades later, i stumbled by chance on this group and found the theme again. I can´t believe that the tune ended low on the charts, sounding better than the currents singles higher up. A century from now, this masterpiece will be rediscovered by a future generation while today´s noise that passes off as music, will all be forgotten.
Such a great theme tune. I can't make too many comparisons between children's TV from the late 1960's, the 1970's and early 1980's with what has come since then but there were some truly great memorable children's TV drama programmes made in those decades and Follyfoot was one of the very best.
My god I used to love Follyfoot Farm. watched it religiously every week. I always wondered who sang the theme song and then I stumbled upon this video. Great memories.
I live in the house that Mike Jones grew up in. My parents bought the house from his parents. Allegedly, Sir Cliff Richard stayed in the house after doing a show somewhere, but I cannot find any provenance on this.
Cindy Kent is absolutely beautiful here, l used to watch Follyfoot I'd be about 7ish l used to think Dora was nice and felt sad when she cried, was a great 70s tv series.
😊 Wow, that was wonderful. My favourite, favourite song from way back then. I loved Follyfoot Farm, and this wonderful theme tune. Never seen the group actually singing it before. Happy, happy memories of childhood innocence and years of freedom....🙂
Loved follyfoot, loved this great song, loved Dora, loved cynthia, great times, I'm 68 now and have watched the full series of follyfoot about 100 times over the years, probably more. I would loved to have met Dora ( Gillian blake) I called my daughter after her . I still wish I could just meet her would be awsome 🤞 I wonder where she is now
For me, this song along with Light Flight (from 'Take Three Girls'), Galloping Home (from 'Black Beauty') plus the themes from 'Sam', 'The Persuaders', 'The White Horses' and 'Rupert the Bear(!)' used to give me an overdose of HOPE!! It's running out fast ;)
Great stuff ,first time i have seen this clip of the group performing the song ,as i remember the girl in Follyfoot was always crying in every episode , this and also another classic Black beauty, on late sunday afternoons of yore :}
Somewhere I’m sure there exists a forgotten Seventies British folk horror movie that features this song. Maybe I’ve watched The Wicker Man too many times but listening to this instils images of pagan rituals and unsettling locals more than it does horses!

This has to be most iconic theme tune ever. It is pure 1970s nostalgia. TV is rubbish today.
It was the most atmospheric theme song and quite frankly, series.
still watching in 2021... in the United States. .... and this show aired years before I was born
I’ve got the boxed set of all three series. The last time I watched it was on a black and white TV.

Why don't they run repeats of some of these programs on the childrens' tv channels today?
this should have made the top 10 in the charts at the time(why the hell didn't it achieve this), should have been a gold disc seller !
Loved follyfoot! And black beauty. Those were the days ❤❤❤
Me too. And the White Horses. 😊

Same here, never heard it before. 🤷🏻
It was a British childrens show so we would not of heard the song or seen the show. Too bad sounds like we would have liked it. 😊
I too. Anybody else, hearing it for the first time, get reminded of The Wellerman?

You're absolutely right my friend, The 70's was the best decade for music.

@@jennifergirling6850More to the point a genre missed was this particular one , folk music.
Two comments listing genres and no mention of the one actually being performed, interesting.
Music started to slowly die off after the 70's because there is a limit to how you can rearrange musical notes.

That was awesome… been a long long time since I heard this… still knew the words funnily enough… thanks for this 👍👍
