Voulez Vous Danser - Ricchi e Poveri - maybe not the most intellectual video ever - but great fun to make. Look out for a guest appearance by Steve Fairnie (Charlie Chaplin) and the amazing dancing dog near the end - oh, and GAZEBO was the translator on the day - they spoke no English and I spoke no Italian... Ricchi e Poveri - nice memories...
Forrest - Rock The Boat - Forrest - Featuring (a before she was famous) Sinitta... commissioned on Friday evening, shot in 3 hours on Sunday morning, edited Sunday afternoon and delivered to the Top of the Pops studio by 09.30 monday morning... those were the days... Made #4 in the UK charts in 1983. We also made Feel The Need for Forrest a few eeks later...
MYSTIC - Ritmo de la Noche - ULTRA RARE - only screened ONCE on tv before it was pulled because of a story about the "singer" in the UK Sunday Scandal Sheets - er - Newspapers - the "singer" was not the singer but a beauty found by Simon dancing in a night club to front the record... she was replaced...
Eddie Huntington - USSR - Eddie Huntington - From the same guys who brought you Gazebo, Den Harrow and Tom Hooker (who co-wrote this song) - Baby Records - Eddie Huntington was a really English nice guy who had several hits in Italy - where are you now Eddy? Mail me... Eddie Huntington
Den Harrow - Charleston - Den Harrow - The original - and our third - video for Den Harrow (Baby Records) - usual cast of thousands - look out for Barbie Wilde (Blue Hair) and the two dancers from Hot Gossip who appeared with Den live on tv... Crazy story, as usual... the dresses (all original 1920s - hired at great cost) were ruined in the swimming pool scene...
Tom Hooker - LOOKING FOR LOVE - Tom Hooker - the voice of many Italian hits of the 80s - This was a fun video to shoot - firstly because it had long (ish) takes - secondly because we had a (before she was famous) Sinitta and Floyd from Hot Gossip - and because it was shot the day before Do The Dance by Trancedance - on the same set - have a look - Tom Hooker - LOOKING FOR LOVE - Tom Hooker
Shakatak - STRANGER - Shakatak - Nigel Wright and the boys and girls shot on a pretty horrible rainy day just before a Shakatak gig in Brighton and on Brighton Pier - the best thing about the day was the prawns at lunch...
Timmy Mallett - Hot Hot Hot - aka Summer Medley by Del Costa - a week in Ibizia with Timmy? Sound like fun? Well, the good times - a laugh-a-minute - outweighed the bad - long, hot, sunny days and having to work through them.. Timmy Mallett - Hot Hot Hot - aka Summer Medley by Del Costa
Shaky does a goode job on this Supreme's cover - wasn't a huge hit, sadly - Epic were very mean with the budget so a simple vid concentrating on Shaky's performance was the best we could do... you can get this video on his new CD/DVD "The Shakin' Stevens Collection" but do I get any royalties? Er... no.
Classix Nouveaux THE END OR THE BEGINNING Classix Nouveaux - Shot outside Southwark Catherdral (just by London Bridge - you can see that, too) - Sal and the guys were great sports to follow my crazy script - look out for a guest appearance from Lowri Ann from Shock and the reference to an earlier hit... eyes open... Classix Nouveaux hugly under-rated band - Classix Nouveaux
Andrea - I'm a lover - Andrea - The original video for this wonderful bit of nonsense from Andrea - Baby records (home of Gazebo, etc) were fabulous! This vid features Jimmy Cameron - great choreographer whom we worked with on many other vids - where are you now Jimmy?
Gary Numan - HEART - Gary Numan ORIGINAL VERSION for this brilliant song - I genuinely love it - Shot in a cold, black studio in Pinewood Studios with just a mirror, a chrome dustbin and a piece of wrinkly roofing - the girl is Christine Peak - where are you now, Christine? Bless Gary for letting me do such a simple video... This is the original edit - thye director's cut (as they say)...
Farenheit 104 - Highway to Freedom - Brilliant anthem from baby records - featuring Tom Hooker, Maurizio Vandelli, Dario Farina - shot in a chalk quarry in Kent (where they shoot moon scenes for Dr Who) with a cast of thousands - also look out for early appearance by Eddie Huntington and Debbie Jones (who was in Future Brain)
Beautiful Danielle in our small studio in Wandsworth - why wasn't she a huge star? Do yourself a favour and get INKY BLOATERS by Danielle Dax - great album which this track comes from... Someone else has posted this, so here is the alternate edit and features the stereo 45 mix.
