when life was fun

The close harmonies grate some ears. But listen again and focus on one of the parts They will grow on you. Poetry reaches parts other words can’t.

TBH, The first time I heard the Watersons, I hated it. It sounded so foreign and grating. I didn't think I could ever make myself like it. But now, so many years later, I feel so much Love and Nostalgia when I hear them. Especially Mike. Their sound is so much a part of my past and formation. They brought so much of my English heritage back to me. There's also the wall of sound aspect that hits your ears aggressively, and I love that.

That was just amazing. Silly but brilliant. Sometimes you think nostalgia for the past makes you look through rose-tinted glasses, but a lot of 1980s TV was undisputably vibrant, ground-breaking, creative, and unpredictable. Having said that, the topical references (esp to Gary Glitter and Jimmy Saville) were somewhat unfortunate! Oh, and I briefly lived in Timperley, as well as working in Stevenage New Town in the 1980s, where J C-T had also apparently lived or worked, which probably explained why I found his 1983 collection of poems Ten Years in an Open Necked Shirt in the town library, whose poetry section was exceedingly small.

God I cannot even imagine seeing this lineup (or any of these artists for that matter) live

viva! little frank!! (....and big frank too!!!)

Bloody awful

This has the potential to break the internet

..this is really trippy TV, I mean wtf? Hearing John perform 'Money' is a treat though :D

Hopefully the Poet will stay alive long enough to do his tour...

Absolutely wonderful film. Omitted in the credits is the appearance of the great Delores Keane, uncredited, with her sisters, 17:50 into film

An amazing version of 'Tam Lin'

Only thing that was right about this shite was the pissing down rain song at the end .

Lovely. Brings back my folk song clubs in the 60s...and I haven't forgotten a word even though I'm in my 70s now xxx

Who is the woman singing? Her voice is angelical, and sounds even better than the one on the original wax

😆🤣😂 I have lots of things to plug in my i don't have a telly to plug in so that's good. I plug my plugs in then I unplug them tho I don't like to keep them all plugged in at the same time because of phantom electricity use!

Yes!!! So fun to see you both!!

I love that Robin!

I am an authentic Hull boy of 72 years. The Watersons were just as authentic. I don't ever remember hearing folk music around The Avenues when I was growing up but my point is that their style and accents were ADMIRED nationally, whereas the flat tones and tight lips of a Hull accent are otherwise NOT south of the Trent. I love the fact that they were clearly unbowed by the disdain of Southerners in general. Hull people are very musical and happy in their skins. You will hear little difference throughout North and East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. I never have. Modulation is a taught skill.

1:48 is that Clare Grogan?

I worked security at this event. Daryl Dickgrubber was the Director and we had one hell of a time with Masons from Sheffield rushing the stage. I lost a tooth and got irritable bowel syndromes but after the concert Matt came from his motor coach to thank us boys. Great memories on that tour.

One Frank Sidebottom...... There's only one Frank Sidebottom.

Great video. Happened to be watching 'Wallace and Gromit movie today. And noticed in background shot poster for John Cooper Clark and the Fall. Now that is sure surreal

Ummmmmmmmmmmm ?

Matt would be terrific as Judas in a stage version of JCS.

Wow - haven't heard this is years - it's still bloody good - one more tour please Mick!!!

haiku, unrhymed poetic form consisting of 17 syllables arranged in three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively. The haiku first emerged in Japanese literature during the 17th century, as a terse reaction to elaborate poetic traditions, though it did not become known by the name haiku until the 19th century
