Memory 2 from Visit to Kazakhstan in 2000
Continuing our series of interesting visits over the past 30 years – in 2000 the Melodians UK visited Kazakhstan and played on National TV. This is a video of the programme with the slightly unusual presenters (notice the woman asleep on the bed behind them!).
Memory from 1990 visit to Russia
In preparation for our 30th Anniversary concert we have been going through our old VHS recordings. This is from our first overseas trip which was to Russia (Daghestan area). This was our performance of Lezginka which was received with tremendous applause. Hope you enjoy it!
