Classic Quadrophenia, Sky Arts HD

[T soprano]

In case you haven't seen it already just a heads up for lovers of Quadrophenia on sky arts HD tomorrow morning at 8am (set yer sky plus box)
Watching it now but it's repeated again
Great to hear one of the best albums in a classical music form at the Royal Albert Hall with guest appearances from the man himself Phil Daniels plus Billy idol, Alfie Boe & Pete Townsend

 

[Bombadier Botty]

A classic indeed Tony. My personal highlight:

Alfie Boe (big dramatic baritone): "And you get beaten up by blacks, who though they worked still got the sack"
Susan Boyle: "You stop dancing"

BELL BOY with Billy idol singing, great stuff

I watched lots of Quadrophenia being filmed, great cadging cakes from the caterers and chatting to the actors who were unknowns to us 13/14 yearold kids hanging around Shepherds Bush Market late at night. The cafe where they played pinball and sorted their pills out was owned by a mates dad. He burnt it down for the insurance not long after! Got rumbled too!

Awesome film. Must have watched it at least 50 times over the years. Always, always think of it when on the seafront and imagining what it would have been like for real running amok on the beach! Just a few years too young to have taken part in the truly fun times.

Mods rule!!
