I've been trawling the interweb looking for this ad. I hadn't seen it for years until I saw it on the guiness 250 ads on the tv earlier in the year. They released the shorter politically correct version (no scantily clad women to upset anyone ) and I accidently captured it while taping a programme. Think we need to barrage guinness to post it to youtube. Long version please...
ah so they still don't have it up on the guinness website, darn.
they have the full 2 minute ad on the guinness tour with headphones if you are desperate (which I was obviously) very nostalgic to hear the music properly and see your one pull her bikini bottoms out.
I really want to see this ad again, as I was 8 years old when it first aired on RTE. What a great ad, and the music is ace. It has stayed in my memory for 30 years!
Can someone out there from Guiness or anyone please, pleeeeeease post this to uTube? Please?
this ad is a childhood memory for me that i thought i wud never see or hear it again,well ive just seen it here but fek louis armsrong to hell for being on in the background,the tune in this ad is super catchy wah wah and the ass wigle,i thught this was like porn to a 3 year old and the surfing was so cool,i am now a surfer bodyborder ,25 yrs on,i guess i was inspired but i goto hear thais ad tune again please someone help
i asked the guinness archivist and she sent me the following response:
The ad which you refer is called 'Big Wave' and was aired in Ireland from 1981 - 1983. The ad was produced by the advertising agency ARKS. The music was specially commissioned by from Bill Whelan - who later composed Riverdance. The saxophonist was Rafe Ravenscroft.
As the music was specially composed for this advert, as far as I am aware, it is not available commercially
i have been looking for this ad for years,found it and the music is wrong,u can bearly hear it under louis..has anyone got the original,i remember they would play it in the cinema in abbey st dublin b4 main feature,2 versions long and short,this is the short..come on someone must have it proper
Finally got around to uploading the version of this ad I taped on tv. Just do a search of Big Wave ad and you should find it thereabouts.

Ahhh the memories.
My dad was the film editor for this, I remember him cutting it together when I was a kid.
Seems every time you went to the cinema this ad was shown. Probably the first example of a big budget ad from Guinness

thats not actually the music to that ad, it was a sax solo, the armstrong tune must have been piped music in the hopstore

That song is We Have All The Time In The World by Louis Armstrong. I don't know what album it comes from, if you find out let me know.

Anyone know what the music was for this ad? Not 'All the time in the world'!
The ad has a guitar track over the top with a 'wah-wah' type tune.
Also, know where I can view a hi-res version of the same ad?
