Davey Graham - Moanin'

Описание к видео Davey Graham - Moanin'

From ABC's Hullabaloo series, 5th October 1963.
Davey was not introduced before this clip, and presenter Rory McEwen simply says (at the end) it's a tune "by John Mayall". That's a mistake, as this is essentially a speeded up version of the Bobby Timmons tune which Davey would record in 1964. The mention of Mayall is still interesting, as his first recording would not be until 1965, and - while he later claimed Moanin' as one of the "eight songs that changed my life" - doesn't seem to have ever recorded it.
The link is explained in a 1978 John Renbourn interview, where he mentions seeing Davey play with an early incarnation of John Mayall's band - after the recording of Angi (1962), but presumably soon before this TV appearance.   • John Renbourn: The Complete 1978 “Gui...  . So either McEwen heard him play the tune with Mayall, or Davey told him he'd been playing it with Mayall, and assumed it was Mayall's composition.

Davey was a semi-resident on this whole Hullabaloo season (Sept 63 - Jan 64, and possibly on earlier seasons), often accompanying singers, and this was his first solo appearance - the month before his premiere of She Moved Through the Fair (elsewhere on this playlist).
