Photo Slide Show From Scottish Tour 1985 4m M Private
Filmed from the crowd, so some obstruction, but some great shots. Dubbed with an excellent audience tape. This show was filmed in the pre camcorder days on a portable video recorder, which took proprietary tapes. After filming we made 2 master VHS copies on Hi-Grade tape, from which all subsequent copies were made. The master tape has been either taped over or lost. This DVD was made from one of the master VHS copies.

Shakespeare's Sister / I Want The One I Can't Have / What She Said / What's The World / Nowhere Fast / The Boy With The Thorn In His Side / Frankly, Mr Shankly / Bigmouth Strikes Again / That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore / Stretch Out And Wait

The Slide-show is made up of about 50 photos taken during the 1985 Scottish tour, mainly backstage and at soundchecks.

The Smiths Episode of an Irish TV Documentary
A new and revealing six-part documentary series that tells the story of modern pop music and how the sons and daughters of Irish emigrants have changed the face of popular music.
What impact, if any, did their Irish blood have on singers like Bing Crosby, John Lydon, Morrissey and Marr, Dusty Springfield, John Lennon, or the Gallagher Brothers? And what impact did their music have on Ireland?
It is often said that the emigrants that sailed from this country travelled with nothing but the clothes on their backs, but they also carried with them something more intangible: they carried stories and songs of home in their hearts. These emigrants made their way to London and Liverpool, Boston and New York where they established roots and communities.
The series examines the environments and influences that shaped the musical heritage and creativity of the emigrant Irish and their offspring. Through a combination of interviews with the musicians themselves and archive footage both of their work and emigrant life GUTH crafts a story that is part social history, part music documentary and breaks new ground in analysing the impact of the Irish diaspora.
