Craig Campbell on "Switch" in 84 at Rom?
« on: January 10, 2007, 04:12 PM »
I just read a thing on a website:

"I remember Romford skatepark, first from a short Channel 4 music video in '84, created for a 'youth' orientated show called 'switch', remember the song AEIOU by Freeze!? (mainstream electro freakout!). The short featured mainly local boy and BMX freestyler, Craig Campbell, busting airs and tricks around the park, which he obviously knew so well"

Anyone got it and could you youtube it?

That’s great. Any chance of getting it on line somewhere (or even of sending me a copy)?

I got the quote from a mate of mine who takes photos’ and has always had a passion for Rom. He first went there in the early 80s and we went last year. His new photo site has a section on Rom and I think he would appreciate any constructive feedback about what he has said.

Id love to be able to show him the TV clip from Switch.

That's bizarre! I saw that video last night on one of the Sky music channels. I don't remember seeing Rom on it though I just saw some kids on BMX's riding around the streets and some body poppers. The song was called I.O.U.

Video is here ::CLICK::

Loved this song when I was like 12, but I realized tonight I had never seen the video before.
One more reason to love it, besides Arthur Baker produced it  :D

Can`t find the video at the moment, I did put it up on a hosting site, but it seems to have dissapeared  :(

I`ll have a look and see what I can find on disc  :daumenhoch:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'
