Wake up Screaming - Vada Riah Live in Edinburgh

A few minutes of Vada Riah's wildly successful one-off, one hour Edinburgh show from 2008. Their first LIVE show since 1625!

Completely improvised and unplanned. You will try to blank this out of your mind - you will think you have forgotten Vada Riah - but you will wake up screaming.

NB The thing is there was nobody in the audience that day so we decided to improvise an entire show - then someone turned up - our usual modus operandi was to see how long it would be before we could drive people away with a very short bit of Vada Riah at the end and then Ollie and Elise could have a nice sit down - but nobody ever left during Vada Riah - they just always sat rocking and silently laughing in a lunatic way.

We managed to drive so many people mad that year!

Is that supposed to be Russian accents you're doing?

[Eliseharris]

Not really. They come from a small island that is now under two foot of water somewhere far away.

caspiar?

[Eliseharris]

You know, they never specified - but Caspiar does seem to have a very similar history to the land where they lived!

Wow, I couldn't stop watching. It was compelling in a really weirdly funny way. I could stand to watch it for a while longer.

[Eliseharris]

It was for a whole hour - never before nor since have we done this much of Vada Riah!
