This video was made in 1999. Was very flattered to get a call from Keith Cullen, Setanta records head honcho saying that The Franks wanted a video made. I'd been a fan since seeing them support A House in 1990 in McGonagles and had met the lads a few times. They were fun and earnest and polite at the same time. I can't recall what other video had prompted them to put the request in. So the plan which suited me and the band down to the ground would be that The Franks would not appear in the video. Well one of the band at that time appears in the video - do you know which one of the four was in The Franks? It was a fun video to make. The great Russell Gleeson shot it and the soon to be famous movie director PJ Dillon assisted him. All of the clothes came from Bad Habits in Barcelona. The locations will be obvious to you if you've been there I guess. There's something about this video that I really like but can't put my finger on it. It's kinda cynical and innocent at exactly the same time. The cast were wonderful and really did pull it off I think. This video wasn't seen too widely at the time if I recall but I was delighted to come across it on an old hard-drive the other day. Donal Scannell July 2010

  • 4 lovely heifers on the Bull Wall - as far as I can work out - unless it's the wall on the Ringsend side. Great vid and the F & Ws are still one of Cork's greatest gifts to mankind.
