| Looking for Moorsholm man! | | Dear Vin's fanbase -
Many thanks for the response to my appeal for vintage Vin footage - some rare
gems have been unearthed and hopefully, subject to copyright licensing, will
appear in the film.
URGENT:
Can the guy who attended the Moorsholm show and told Vin about the early b/w clip
from the 60s/70s filmed above a shop in South Bank - please get in touch asap!
And lastly to save people emailing me - I have Vin's South Banker Show video!
Many thanks,
Craig Hornby
