I think it was at the astoria in leeds. the video had clips from other venues but my 2 mates are on the clip from the astoria. i unfortunately taped coronation street over boy was i gutted does the astoria clip ring a bell with anyone and is it still kicking around.

well done roddy! they used to get on my nerves circa '79, but not as much as the "punks"! i never understood why they were called punks. my friends and i could always out anti-social any of them!!!

great stuff,love Weller in all his guises.............but just had a thought (off topic).

Was this one of the first tailor mades,of any credibility?.(forget Wigan's Ovation).

Did Weller get away with it cos he's a geezer and loves his Northern?.

Or did he suffer the wrath of the scene at the time , like new kids Amy and Duffo?

He nicked I'm Ready For Love for a Town Called malice and So Is The Sun for Trans Global Express so it's not the first, he had previous.

Hi, I do have this on Video if I can dig it out, It was at the Astoria, It was a Documentary at around 1986, I am in the process of copying all onto DVD`s so when I get it out I will give you a shout.

:lol::ohmy::lol:

FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THE VIDEO.

WASN'T AT A NORTHERN DO WITH NORTHERN DANCERS AS FAR AS I COULD SEE.

THEY WERE PROBABLY ALL FROM A LOCAL DRAMA SCHOOL AND HAND PICKED FOR THE VIDEO. :lol:

Brilliant track, cool video (even though he did throw the scooter to the ground) :lol:

I suppose it could be classed as a tailor made, it's just a faster version of "Stoned Love" really.

I too confess to liking the Style Council (there, i've said it!).

Most of them were scooter boys from South London - all my mates from the Merton Detours SC were in it. Only little Peter Grant was doing the northern scene in a big way at the time as far as I know, the rest were attending scooter & soul nights locally, and still do. They would have a right laugh at the drama school comment - they're mostly builders!

Love the Style Council, and never ashamed to say it. Weller was just paying homage to something he loves. That video takes me right back to when I was 16.

i can't beleive this was 26 years ago!! i was a mere 10 years old, but remember it well...

fo some reason i thought weller didn't like this - prob cos when i saw them live in '83 they didn't sing it and i dont think he ever referred to it. i have no backing to my thoughts it's just pure conjecture.

brill video (now does the girl say to Mick what i think she says which is why he gets pissed off...)

awful scooter control

happy days

it was originally a Jam recording, but not released.
