Follyfoot - The Settlers

[whatwhyme]

I've just been transported back to a small room with 3 channels and it's lovely there

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.

Brings back memories, we had nothing but had everything.

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.

[PaulWallis]

Once heard, never forgotten. Love the conviction of this performance. Takes me back :)

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.

My god this is absolute perfection... four voices in total unison and harmony. A small miracle captured on film.

Childhood. Right there. Just as atmospheric 50 years later.

Born in 68 so I've actually got a tear in my eye....we've lost so much.

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🙏🙏

First time actually seeing the Settlers perform this song, first time hearing it in five decades, wonderful, thank you Youtube for connecting us with our youth .

I’m an American, so I don’t remember this song or the TV show it came from in the 70’s..just heard the song for the first time today..it’s great!!

[WhitewashTheThird]

One of the best theme tunes from the 70s

[anthonyjones]

This has to be most iconic theme tune ever. It is pure 1970s nostalgia. TV is rubbish today.

I had a honking crush on Cindy back in the day, she was gorgeous🥰

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.

This is my childhood, encapsulated in one song.
