Saw these guys in an almost empty St. John’s bar in 1983. They played half traditional and half psychedelic rock.

Sadly, the drummer, Bodran player - Noel Dinn - a personal friend, passed away in 1993 of throat cancer, and thus the date of 2014 cannot be correct. I have known the few original members of this fine Canadian group, and they were always good people, and loving people, and loved their music as can be heard.

@@bowehj96 It's also stated to be from 1982, at which point I believe they had recorded only their first album in 1980 (actually second, but the first on Island was not released). I'd love to find that Island recording, if you know where to find it. Sympathies regarding Mr. Dinn, he was a fine musician. We never met him, but have met Pamela.

Pamela sounds like Grace Slick and Joni Mitchell

This looks like it might well be the 1981 Cambridge Folk Festival.

She has the sweetest voice I’ve ever heard in folk since Jacqui Mcshee.

THE REAL ROCK STAR IS MISSING FROM THIS VIDEO ......THE GREAT GUITARIST....MR. BRUCE CRUMELL.....HE WAS AWESOME.....NONE OTHER...💖

[@sharonconstable8146]

I loved Bruce's playing on songs like Henry Martin and Rumbolt. Also, Dave Panting is my favourite mandolinist.

Waw! I recorded this concert from a Spanish radio programme...mmmm...30 years ago? It was on one of my favourite folk tapes but had to imagine the faces, the instruments...everything! It's good to see the real things, no matter how late! Thanks for years of good music!
