OK folks, here we go with show three of the eight recently-discovered Top Gears. Tonight there's sessions from Pentangle, Blodwyn Pig, Mandrake Paddle Steamer and the John Dummer Blues Band.
Session Details
There's not much I can really say about this one. Unfortunately, the BBC pages don't have details for a single one of these sessions!

Great work
Although the session details on these Top Gear's are not on the BBC site they are mostly in Ken Garner's book
Thanks for that. I suspected they would be, but not having Session Tonight myself I was unable to look them up. I'll definitely be getting Ken's new book when it comes out though.
The file has been deleted from the download site ;-( Any chance of uploading it again? Thanks a lot,
Mike
oh please please please, upload some of these older ones (1969) dying to hear some of this "in context" (with JP commentary)
Yeah this is not available for download now. :(
Is there any possibility of a re-up???
This has to be one of the best sites ever! I'm amazed at how good some of these ol tapes sound -quality and content!
Please re-up - this is a great site.
Please re-up! Thanks!
Hello DuffPaddy
I just stumbled across your site & would be very interested to re-hear some of the old Peel Shows, many of which I remember listening to as a spotty teenager with my ear pressed to the speaker of the radio. Unfortunately most of them are no longer available - Megaupload has ceased to exist of course, and the files on Sendspace have expired. Is there any chance of a re-upload of these unavailable gems?
