Imagine the reaction if the DJ had played something like Air Supply at 1:07:50 after that Punk song! 😂

Well the swing dancing at 32:28 was unexpected

If Tories & Reform were honest.

DUNE

This is my Roman Empire.

Bowie's bonny babies⚡⭐⚡⭐⚡⭐⚡

I ran Goth nights in Brisbane, Australia during the 90s because i am a massive Bowie fan and no other clubs would play his music so i was like, sod it, i'll start my own called Dark Entries. Watching this video reminded me of some truly magical times. This club looked utterly fantastic. Especially the Bowie fan in the crop top dancing to Life On Mars? at the end. She is by far and away, the standout of this entire video. Good to see some Huddersfield folk as well. 😀

I wish I could go back in time to this place! Does anyone know when or why it closed down?

I’m such a lover of this video. My mum is actually in this and to be able to see actual footage of my mum when she was around my age is such a privilege. Honestly, I think she looks so cool… I could only wish for this vibe and subculture now. I will keep returning to this video for years to come 🫶🏻

Look at that song list, I don't care what anyone says it's not up for debate, our music WAS better back then lol! So many of those bands and tunes are hugely relevant in our historic pop culture. Put that list up against today's One named cookie cutter acts on billboard ( (apparently bands don't exist on the charts anymore ) In 40 years our bands will STILL have their historic place where as much of todays music and artists will be forgotten. I'm not suggesting there isn't great music out there now because there most certainly is but what I am saying is our mainstream radio played music back then blows away todays charting tunes. Mainstream music right now IMHO is at it's absolute creative worse.

What it the song playing at 1hour 26 minutes ?

There were a lot a problems in the 80s but the music wasn't one of them. Great music.

Fraggle Rock. 😎🤪🥸

Fantastic! I'm from Canada, the best music on earth was coming out of the UK in the 80's. Great to see footage of people making their own scene, & I love the open-mindedness of the 'adults' making the film (including our tour guide/narrator).

Hate to tell you 84 was Not the Height t of Goth at All especially as it started in London 1981 originators were Bauhaus and UK Decay maybe it was the height in the North & stupid clubs(never about that) instead of live gigs( everything it was about)

In 1984 I was an innocent little goth in the making at 15yrs old and missed out on this fine time. Now I'm 54, still doing music...last live gig at Club Infinite Sadness as "Electropath". My friends now work until their fingers bleed or worship $$$. Stay young, burn the candle at both ends and live forever as an outcast and dark visionary. And if your dream goes unsung, the more the rest will die before you hung.

Where was this? What town, please?

Drug dealer say no more sc

This reminds me of a club we used to go to back in the late 80s called Club Me in Sacramento, CA. We dressed and danced just like the kids in this video. Brings back very good memories. Thank you for sharing this video!

Interesting

No.... Labour isn't simply oppositional..... just like people opposed his rejection of a pardon for the founder of AI.

Found this as a new goth and its so cool to see people like me just enjoying being themselves T - T

wouldn’t want it to spring a leak

all the deathrockers look so hot omg

A cool generation. These are all the middle-aged adults now!

what a soundtrack, fucking perfect

Looks like a fun night out

Never forgotten, never forgiven

I spell F-L-Y baybeh!

This is so wholesome and makes me mi ss all these amazing goth nights. I live in Nottingham and we do have some alternative nights but nothing like this anymore, especially after we lost Rock City to the emos and eventually the 'normal' people. After 30 years im still goth, and 2 of my kids have followed suit! I would love to hear if anyone else is still after so many years. Once again, I love this! I used to go to Whitby but now its overrun by emos and people who think that goth is just a Halloween dress up (even in April). Most people there now have no idea how or why this weekend even exists! It's become so far removed from its original form.

“…that is not an excuse to go out rioting” Spike Lee showed us in 1989 that if your response to anger after decades and decades of police racism is to ask ‘did black people Do The Right Thing?’ then you’re asking the wrong questions. Darcus Howe Rest in Power ✊

god, what I wouldn't give to experience this now

She said ‘Marcus Dowe’ 😂

Bowie featuring strongly here among the ‘modern’ tracks- always loved by the arty crowd and misfits ❤❤❤

What a lovely looking couple. Anne looks so glam. Lovely to stumble across this video as only a handful of months ago, i was looking at an apartment above where the XClusive used to be. Nice to see it in its glory days.

Thank you for your kind gracious reverence and profiling of our city's sailor and explorer's namesake. Here's to the Crown, for without which we wouldn't all be here.
