Wow!!

Someon could tell me if Andy Summers is on guitar on this film?

Thanks.

No, it's Daevid Allen. Andy Summers joined for a short time when Allen couldn't get back into the country. Great piece of film!

I wonder where the italians had the hint to get a look at a (1967) completely unknown band in England that even never reached mass attraction in later years? It rather looks like a private 8mm movie shut by may be Brian Hopper...

Wonderful film. Starring the man behind "Kathy Kirby's Grips". Perfect as it is warts and all in my opinion. We get so used to hi fi hi def etc. Snap Crackle & Pop. Full of atmosphere. A real time capsule. Great cuts and colours from the soft ice cream parlour. Still alive and kicking like a much loved and well worn pair of treasured breeks. Thanks for posting up this film...Grazie.

It's brilliant! Thanks for sharing this. I'd so love to see a better quality version but still amazing to get a glimpse of them playing at Honor Wyatt's house.

Can someone explain to me what this is exactly. Why are they playing in a bedroom? and why are there people answering a phone and stuff?

[DRGasMoney]

that's a band practice at the wyatt residence. roberts parents owned a hotel-type place and they would play in the front room. you can see pam and roberts son with them jamming out!

i wish i could find a good copy of this. i have the same footage at about the same generation and can barely watch it, regardless of how much of a fan i am, ha.
