Pink Fairies Roundhouse February 16th 1975
Short clip - Pink Fairies first Roundhouse reunion gig of 1975 - February 16th. The bill featured Hawkwind, Pink Fairies, Al Matthews, and Lady June’s Linguistic Leprosy. Pink Fairies line-up consisted of Russell Hunter, Paul Rudolph, Duncan ‘Sandy’ Sanderson, and Larry Wallis. Mick Farren also made a guest appearance and can be briefly seen during the clip. The original footage has been around for some years but the quality has obviously deteriorated having been transferred onto VHS at some point and finally digitalised.* The soundtracks are not synchronised with the film footage although they do derive from the relevant performances. * Tony Davdison (Tonal) out of Pink Fairies covers band Pink FA has shed light on the provenance of the footage - “the video you have on myspace was shot on 8mm by Geoff Eade,He showed me it in 1978 when I joined his band the infamous Drag Squad who released the equally infamous ‘Operation Julie’ 7″ single.a singer very much in the Farren mould. In 1992 I remember this & for the reason of social history I get my mate to transfer it to video……Geoff & I thought of getting someone to put it out….UFO of Hanway Street came to mind as they had just released ‘Syd’s First Trip’….also silent….of course nowt could be done…so my mate Richard Clarke fronts the money & it sells about 10 copies!!………”

- I had no idea there was such an infestation of fairies back in 16th century Europe. But just this once, I’m going to give the history books a pass… I am never one to argue against fairy costumes!=)

Up The Pinks! I’m told I saw them many times ,but I’m not sure.LOL!
I hope Larry doesn,t mind ;but IMHO Paul Rudolph is the most un-acknowledged Gun-slinging guitar player ever!

Ah yes,the days before sciatica and poor ticket sales!
is there some footage from the Roundhouse that Kerranng mentioned in their 1983 look back at the ‘fairies. The vid is OK y’know.
Amazing archive footage;Camden used to be full of good shit ;Now its just SHIT!
Absolutely appalling. Thank god for p**k r*ck.
I was there as well. Did Twink take his clothes off. I seem to recall something of that sort happening.
Later on I stuck my head in the bass bin while Hawkwind were playing and was deaf for a week.
Lady June had Lol Coxhill in her band and brought on as special guest that star of Groupie (and later The Police) Andy Summers. No wonder we booed her off.

I remember that gig.. think Lady Jane was the first time I had seen a band booed off at the Roundhouse…they went off , came back and did a good(ish) version of SilverMachine. All anyone wanted really was the Pink Fairies (and anything else that was very small and pink) then Hawkwind
Hi Bod - I was at the gig with garrybod and we had a quick chat with Rudolph after the set - he seemed to like my home-made Fairies t-shirt - I’ve even still got the ticket stub - £1.50 for the full gig with Hawkwind, Arthur Browns Kingdom Come, Lady June;s Linguistic Leprocy, Gordon Giltrap and others. Great to see it again - Garry - send me copies of the photos please … and…. Up The Pinks
Amazing. I was a big Rudolph fan and remember him offering “flying saucer trips” from the stage for a quid. He was a bit out of it by then, but still the best Fairies guitarist/singer. He now lives in his native Canada selling bicycles. Up the Pinks…
Great post…any Deviants clip?
I was at this gig ! The fairies were a great band live ,its great to see that they are still remembered.
I have really been into the Pink Fairies lately.
I live in the US and no one knows who they are or were it seems. Would like to see more!
Hawkwind and Fairies are almost unheard of here and two of my favorite bands. Considered comin over to see a gig on more than one occasion.
Great clip, arsydd!
