Mary Epworth & the Jubilee band - It's 1966, and Shirley Collins is fronting Moby Grape, dating Gene Clark and being produced by Joe Meek. Mary Epworth is down the front, taking notes, whilst the rest of the band try to turn a Banjo into a flux-capacitor.
"So exuberant in its ragged glory that you would be very hard-hearted indeed if you weren't moved to smile, to join its rutted rolling procession, its pilgrimage, its parade of smashing cymbals, shivering violins, clamorous voices and a horn section just roused from sleep, but game for the journey to Rome, to Damascus, Samarra, Mecca or simply the end of a cobbled London street.: : ":
