I hear echoes of very old European traditions mixed with a kind of beatnik styling (which I thought had died out completely by the '70's). It seems very impromptu, irreverent, and free.
Ah yes, I heard about that. Their performance caused a riot and all recordings (or records of that year's festival ever having taken place) have been wiped from the records so as to not cause any more similar incidents.
Ms. Harris's recent discovery has shaken the world of popular folk/rock scholasticism to its very core. An epiphanal (is that a word?) encounter with Vada Riah would certainly make more sense of RT's post-Fairport resort to fly mask and male-female duo performance format than all current theorems.
Research is now centering upon the then Mrs. Thompson's early 70s headwear - where did the Minka influence end and the Sufism take over?
Sadly I doubt I'll live long enough to see this resolved.
Not so. I could have sworn I saw Minka in a folk club in Wallonia when I was there on holiday. It was at the sign of the Red Dragon in Ponteprinsk, as I recall.
I studied 'pan European folk music and culture' at uni. In particular I researched the many scales and tunings used in this style of music - a most fascinating subject.
Yes, long and vaguely purple, I see.

Well at least Ollie Broadstreet can be funny without wearing a dress like Benny Hill.

I do NOT get the english humor. Never have, never will. Well, I guess the Benny Hill Show was ok.

How on earth did you come upon these recordings?

I saw them play the Isle of Wight festival in 1971, their only known live performance. They had a big influence on Richard Thompson I heard.

'Vada Riah' is (gay) slang for See Hair.
Not that I'm gay, I just happen to know a bit of Polari/Palare. No idea about the meaning of 'Zaba Ryba' though.
Fantabulosa!
