Hullabaloo (1963) released on DVD 30th Nov.

[John Green]

Massively influential but now almost completely forgotten, this early '60s music show featured the cream of British Folk and Blues – as well as some highly important foreign artistes. Hosted by musician, poet, sculptor and all-round polymath Rory McEwen, Hullabaloo was a key part of the early '60s Folk boom, with guests recorded live in front of an invited audience as ABC's Teddington Lock studios.

Featuring home-grown talent in the shape of Martin Carthy, The Clancy Brothers, Isla Cameron, Tommy Makem, The Spinners, Long John Baldry, Davey Graham, The Ian Campbell Folk Group, Bob Davenport and Rory's brother Alex, the series also showcased early British appearances from Carolyn Hester, Bill Clifton, Peter, Paul & Mary, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Sonny Boy Williamson and Esther & Abi Ofarim.

Unseen for over fifty years, all thirteen shows have been transferred from film materials especially for this release.

I posted a little note on the Esther Ofarin forum as they were on the look out for Esther and Abi Ofarin performances.
