THE HEIGHT OF GOTH: 1984: A Night at the Xclusiv Nightclub: Batley, West Yorkshire UK

A blast from the past. This film was rescued from an old and very damaged VHS cassette tape that by total fluke I came across so, the quality in the first few minutes is pretty poor but it settles down fine just in time for the action inside the club

The original video was commissioned by the couple who ran the club (Annie and Pete Swallow) and sold or given to family, friends and regulars (£2 per copy). This is the complete full length video as originally presented. For those who were there that night, I bet you never thought you would see this again! *chuckle* :)

And yes, I do have a personal reason for putting this online, it's because I'm in it :)

Enjoy

hi, I love this film! We are making a film about New Model Army - not strictly speaking goth i know but some of that footage would be really useful for us. Would love to speak to you about using it. Thanks, Matt

What a find! Love it. The club I went to just had a 30 year reunion and it was so much fun. Very similar to this club but in Australia.
