Looks BRILLIANT!


Ive never actually been to Liverpool, I wonder what its like now


Me neither. If it doesnt still look like "Boys From The Blackstuff", I'm not interested.
"Shake 'Ands!"

I was at the premiere of his earlier movie Big Gold Dream which was excellent (Tam Dean Burn during the post movie discussion: "it was the gig that inspired us, not a record.")
He was referring to The Clash / Subway Sect / Slits gig (White Riot Tour) at Edinburgh Playhouse on 7 May 1977. I think he was particularly praising the Sect (a huge influence on the FAST Product / Postcard groups) but I'm sure all were great.


The only line I remember is 'Giz a job!' (natch)

I must check out the Big Gold Dream .. thanks for the heads up mate!


This purports to be the full BGD movie.:

The quality is so poor on this copy of the BFTBS Shake Ands clip its positively haunted.

The Green Man pub in Liverpool where it was filmed, has of course, with the rest of the neighborhood, been demolished, according to a YT commenter.
These are the Council wankers who demolished the Cavern in Matthew Street, and then had to rebuild it across the road when Beatle-mania proved not to be a flash in the pan, but rather a tourist attracting part of history.
Like all City Councils since the War, barbarians. Look at the number of nostalgia websites devoted to long-gone music venues in the UK. Or play The Photos "Barbarellas" (1980, so prescient!) and weep for your youth.

So many middle-class Anglos arrived in Edinburgh City Centre since the 80's/90's, and then complained about the noise from music venues and pubs. Like, what did they expect?! They got their way though, with either closures, or music/drink licensing hours restrictions. Bastards.
Another quote from Yosser, I think when he's at confession:
"I'm desperate father"
"Call me Dan"
"I'm desperate, Dan."!


My wife and I found it online and started watching today - great stuff!
