Rubettes - Tonight - Totally 1970s

I can't believe this hasn't surfaced on YouTube before, especially as it is now available on DVD. This is a transfer from an old VHS copy, so apologies for the quality. For those who don't know, it is from a truly dreadful film called 'Never Too Young To Rock' which makes 'Confessions of a Window Cleaner' seem almost Shakespearian by comparison. Just as interesting are the cars in the background. Can you see Gene Hunt anywhere? A truly iconic clip though, the Rubettes at the peak of "Ru-mania". Great stuff!

Great video!! I was a child on 70's. 35 years late I say: I love Rubettes.

Lead singer in the Rubettes is Alan Williams, not Tony. The drummer is John Richardson, and he is very much alive and well, and looks as good now as he did then. Lucky guy!!

Great clip...I loved the Rubettes - "Sugar Baby Love" was the first single I bought as a 10 year old and I had their debut album too. I can still remember excitedly going to the cinema to see "Never Too Young to Rock" and loving it. Probably best not to revisit it from what you say!

Great stuff thanks for posting. Also loving the comments, you've gotta love those corny 70's 'films'

Dave Mount was not Rubettes drummer, Dave was drummer for the other awesome band in the film Mud :) ~(for @seventiesmania).

Cheeky chappy on drums here is John

@SeventiesMania I could be mistaken, but I dont remember seeing NTYTR! I do know that Dave Mount (who played drums for the Rubettes-and has since died) was in "Side by Side", and I seem to remember Mud knocking down a wall between the two clubs in the storyline and starting to play! I actually have "Side by Side" on videotape somewhere! Its a real trip! I also remember that when it was shown in the cinema it was shown alongside "Remember me this Way" with GG (nuff said!).
