OMG. can't believe I found this after all these years; I saw her perform this on a British TV show in 1977; it was certainly "different"! My sister was still laughing about it and trying to imitate her for about two years afterward LOL I live in NY now, no-one seemed to have heard of her, and I didn't know the name of the song so didn't think I'd ever find it. Thanks for posting this - it's still cool :)
She is amazing. Just got through listening to her and Maddy Prior on "Silly Sisters' for about the 100th time. If you've got a drop of scot/irish/english blood in you, this will thrill you.
On the same programme that night were Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. I am told they became instant fans (and in truth June's performance put theirs to shame). I don't know whether there were ever any discussions about collaborating.

This was the performance that turned me on to June!
The last time I saw this was when it aired here in NZ some 14 years ago.

Virtuoso performance. She once recorded this song with the great Nic Jones.
