Richard Lester was the director, he along with the art director and film editor are responsible for the marvelous mis-en-scene of "It's Trad, Dad." I'll take credit for a nice presentation package made from the two songs the Temperance Seven played, but Bill Lenny and Gilbert Taylor were responsible for the editing style.
Thanks for your answer.
Acknowledging Bill Lenny's work,
I wrote my comment because I read that Richard Lester, though more uncredited than not, always worked on his movies editing: he said it was the part of filmmaking he loved most .
His worst movies are those where he couldn't control the editing at all
Vitajazz: I hope you won't mind a correction. That's "Count" Clifford Bevan on piano here, not "Canon" Colin Bowles (who wore a dog-collar on stage). There was a book (I wish I still had it!) written by veteran Radio 2 DJ Brian Matthew at the height of the trad boom in 1961, which had a whole chapter on the Temps. The captions to the illustrations were quite positive on the identification.
By Palmer-Williams...The Temperance Sevens' version was included on "Ring A Ding Rhythm" movie, which was subsequently issued as the LP "It's Trad, Dad" on Capitol Records.
Ahead of their time,and vastly under-rated! An influencing factor of my formative years,they're deeply embedded in my phsyche- part of my DNA; years roll on,but I never tire of their recordings!(All temperance papers,please copy!)
