A treat to see this performance.

Even with the jerky cutoff at the end, this is a treasure. Nanci is one of a kind.

The banjo (played by Bela Fleck) was added later, so I’m told…

[@razzle504b]

I hear a banjo all the way through…but where is it???

[@knifelyfe6565]

Bela Fleck played banjo on the original.This is just a Nance video with a Texas vibe.

[@adhocrat1]

it looked to me like the Tele player was doing some banjo licks.

[@razzle504b]

The tele players picking doesn’t match the banjo, so it is actually Bela Flek…added later. This is such a popular video, I wish the BBC could publish it in its entirety….

[@paulh-1950]

What you are hearing in this video is the studio cut with Bela on 5-string, Mr. Philip on his Strat, and Lloyd Green on dobro! Why we aren’t hearing the live performance is quite beyond me! That’s why nothing matches! They don’t expect us to notice!!!😂

Aint it fun being from Texas.

Does anyone know the names of the band please?

[@knifelyfe6565]

Nance has played with everybody from Mark O'Connor and Jerry Douglas to Buddy Holly's old band.If I remember it's Bela Fleck on banjo....Sorry been to long.

Checkout Nance and Mark doing a Tom Russell cover "St Olavs Gate" Happy Listening!

[@HungryH1951]

She started calling her band the Blue Moon Orchestra. Could be them.

[@knifelyfe6565]

I don't think the players on this video are her band.This was shot overseas and they had to look for a "Texas" looking location ....IF I remember correctly.Again Bela Fleck.played banjo on the studio cut....and he's not in the video.

[@paulh-1950]

@@knifelyfe6565 The soundtrack you are hearing here is the actual studio cut with Philip Donnelly on electric guitar, Lloyd Green on dobro, Bela Fleck on dobro, and Mark O'Connor on fiddle among others. I do however believe I see see James Hooker on keyboard in this video made prior to the formation of the BMO.

[@marvwatkins7029]

Nice C&W tune. But on the BBC? Really? Sunk.

[@knifelyfe6565]

Lol Its not C&W.Its Americana, genius.

[@Rollin_L]

My understanding is that Nanci found as much success in the UK and Ireland as she did in America.
