KiOgon Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 It's a bit strange to hear a song about everyday places I know so well, it's not quite like 'New York New York' down here Here's the video, made around the Cafe & seafront - shows a bit of Bexhill life [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH13eUiDhmo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH13eUiDhmo[/url] Quote
Mykesbass Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 And not a mobility scooter in sight!! I'd really like this song - it should be as uplifting as the video, but why does he have to always try and out-miserable Morrissey all the time?! Quote

Cosmo Valdemar Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Badly Drawn Boy once shot a video around some flats up the road from where I grew up... Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 My home town was immortalised by chas and Dave and only fools and horses. We saw both lots doing the filming when I were a lad! The town in question is, of course - Margate! Quote
Raymondo Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Some of my Mums' ashes were scattered in the sea at Bexhill....she lived there as a young girl.......I really Liked that area of the south coast.......Not that what I think matters ...it just made me think of mum! Quote
LiamPodmore Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Bolton's only real claims to musical fame (That i know of) are Danny from McFly was born and raised here, and Marseille (Which is Neil Buchanan of Art Attack fame's band). I can't think of any other than that. Oh, and The Blackout filmed their video to Higher and Higher here. Liam Quote

mep Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Metronomy have made Torbay famous with their album The English Riviera. Now just round the corner up the coast is Teignmouth where I have heard a rather well know trio come from. Quote
Maude Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 The only band to make my area famous for a day that I can think of are Travis. The video for 'Why Does It Always Rain On Me' was filmed on the moors my Village backs onto. The first part of the video up until they all jump in a lake (disused quarry) was filmed on Bodmin Moor across the moors from where I live now and when they all surface up through a floating rooms floor it's filmed on the stretch of the Tamar where I grew up. Why the band came all the way to Cornwall to film in a location that looks so similar to their native Scotland I don't know [quote name='mep' timestamp='1345494405' post='1778226'] Now just round the corner up the coast is Teignmouth where I have heard a rather well know trio come from. [/quote]. I saw this trio in Tavistock wharf before they 'made it'. If you had to pick a band destined for super stardom it certainly wasn't them then . Quote
spongebob Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Being in the Weald of Kent, we had some of the Darling Buds Of May filmed not far away. And of course, near to where I work we have Dungeness, home of loads of films and videos. A couple of years ago, there was a BBC 3/4 programme, 'The Incredibiles', in which one of my colleagues appeared on a weekly basis giving the, ahem, 'Incredibles' their latest stunt. All filmed in Dungeness! Quote
Deep Thought Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 We frequently get filming going on round here. Just down the road from me is Charlestown, where they've filmed everything from The Eagle has Landed (had a school trip there when I was a kid whilst they were filming-got Michael Caine's autograph, since lost. Had never heard of Donald Sutherland or Robert Duvall) to the Three Musketeers-my mate took Charlie Sheen and Keifer Sutherland out in his boat for a day's fishing during the filming. We have a lot of clay pits which have been used for Dr.Who, Blake's 7, the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy-every time they need a bleak, barren alien landscape they come to St.Austell! There's the Eden Project which they filmed one of the Bond films at, there's Roche Rock where they filmed a bit of the last Omen film. It's a regular Hollywood down here-oh and of course every year they're back in Port Isaac to film another series of Doc Martin. Also they filmed the video to Alison Moyet's 'Is this Love?' at the now derelict Cornwall Coliseum, where I saw many a band during my formative years. Quote

waynepunkdude Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 This is filmed where I used to get the bus to school in Edmonton thankfully has been knocked down. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6FyvK4DO6U"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6FyvK4DO6U[/url] Quote

Mabrothrax Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Bollocks to Keane. Let's not forget that our beloved Bexhill on sea was the concentration camp in the film Children of Men, whch reminds me of one of the local nutters who'd hang about the library and insist that the town's name is daemonic and that t was of special interest to the Nazis... Oh, and we're #8 in the original 'Crap towns' book. Quote
gub Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Travis did the video to why does it always rain on me just up te road from me at a place called gold diggings up by the cheese ring Quote
gub Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I like this topic because it says my home town was made famous by gub, if you are the last poster Quote
