His tubs were always a bit restricted when he was with The Yardbirds

Yes.
Think I saw him guesting with a reformed band from the 60s whose name I can't currently recall. The lead singer sported a deerstalker. Sounded a bit like a garage Yardbirds.
Top Topham opened.

No, but if there is it will be that Annie Haslam/Illusion nonsense sans the Relfs et alia
[a bit of French and Latin in the same sentence - cool!]
Not a fan then?
Not sharp enough for a trilingual response, salutant te.
Piano is outstanding.

I don't know if you have seen this but perhaps soemthing to watch later
Island - lovely
Okay, Jane Relf was no Maddy Prior or Sandy Denny but she is perfect for the fragility of some of these female vocal led tracks (Wanderer also)

No. But, in particular, I like to wind up one or two folk around these parts who take themselves far too seriously...!!

Yes, fragile is the word that comes to mind. Like the blend of vocals - that sibling thing is often special.
Shall play the clip later indeed.

There's a yearning quality to the vocals that is most endearing.

Yes.
One of my musical highlights was at the Orange music Festival, summer of '79. A concert of baroque music in a medieval church including harpsichord & lute music lives long. Haydn's Creation in the Roman theatre , also part of the festival is another.
