THE LITTLE WASTER
Bobby Thompson
VHS: MWMV1003
DVD: MWMDVD1003 |
|
DIGITALLY REMASTERED VIDEO
Bobby Thompson - “a legend in his own lifetime”
This was the almost unanimous opinion of both audiences and fellow performers. After something like fifty years of comedy and working
almost exclusively in the North’s clubland, he commanded high earnings and large crowds.
Bobby Thompson was admired and loved as a hero of the working class, who was able to turn tales of harsh experiences into the stuff of
laughter.
This video shows Bobby at his peak, with full length versions of his most famous acts, The Little Waster and
The Old Soldier, an account of his contribution to the Second World War, including an encounter with Adolf Hitler down the chip shop.
The video also contains a documentary film shot during his final years, in which he speaks frankly about his
origins, and problems with debt, dole and drink.

The Little Waster
Recorded at Ryhope Poplars Club; 14 August 1978
The Army
Recorded at the Mayfair Ballroom, Newcastle; 19 July 1978
Two recordings of the legendary Bobby Thompson at his best. His hilarious portrayal of working class life and his tales of debt and
how to avoid paying have audiences in fits of laughter.
Bobby was a born comedian of the kind that possibly only emerges once in a generation.
He struck a chord the audience by talking about ordinary happenings and the hardships of life.
But although Bobby spoke from his own experience of coming up the hard way, his infectious sense of humour and surreal
imagination embellished every anecdote.

THE LAUGH-IN
Bobby Thompson
RUBCD38 |
|
Including the songs:
Dreamin’
You Little Waster
When I Was A Lad
The Golden Voice Of Bobby
“You don’t care what you spend,” Bobby used to say, “as long as it’s debt.” A little higher up the social scale, it’s called credit, and at the top end (among members of the plutocracy, like committee men’s wives) goods are obtained on account.
Bobby had a knack for detecting and exposing the pretences and petty snobberies of everyday life.
His gift of mimicry and uncanny insight into people’s minds made audiences explode with laughter at the revelation of their
own thoughts.

Bobby Pattinson
STILL LAUGHING
DVD: MWMDVD80 |

The latest hilarious video
from the Godfather of North East comedy
Way back on the 22nd October 1957 at the Dominion Theatre in London, Bobby Pattinson won 1st prize of £1000 in the Butlins/Sunday People National Talent Contest. In 1957, this was a fortune as the average weekly wage was only £7. With the prize came the offer of a theatre contract and management by a London agent.
Working his way up the bill, he eventually became a headliner in theatres and cabaret clubs throughout Britain and the English speaking world, including Australia, America and South Africa. He appeared at the London Palladium in 1962 and over the years performed five Sunday Night at the London Palladium TV Shows.
He started his acting career in 1974 in Granada’s The Stars Look Down and appeared in countless TV plays from then on for both Granada and BBC TV.
In 1978, he returned home to Gateshead to open his own music hall The Talk of the Tyne, which was a huge success and didn't have an empty seat for six years.
This programme was recorded at the Gala Theatre in Durham.

The Godfather of North East Comedy
NOW AVAILABLE ON DVD
Bobby Pattinson is possibly one of the most successful of all North East comedians. He’s travelled extensively around the English-speaking world, appearing in Australia, Canada and the USA, including the Sands and the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas.
He’s topped the bill at practically every major theatre club in Britain, and has been voted Cabaret Comedian of the Year three times.
Bobby returned to his native North East and opened the highly successful Talk of the Tyne Club at Gateshead in 1978. He likes nothing better than working with Northern audiences where he can ‘taalk proppa’ and be understood.
This video is of a live performance at Whitley Bay Playhouse, where he played to a packed sell-out audience. The standing ovation he receives is a tribute to his screamingly funny material, his professional delivery and his instinctive rapport with the fans.

Another hilarious video
from the Godfather of North East comedy
This is a very different album from Bobby Pattinson’s previous recorded show, Bobby’s Back. In this intimate theatre, it’s Bobby at his best in a more relaxed cabaret style of performance.
It’s the style that’s made him tremendously successful from Longbenton to Las Vegas; from South Shields to Sydney.
Bobby likes to say that he isn’t a North East comedian, he’s a comedian from the North East.
It’s certainly true that his humour appeals to audiences all over the world, in places ranging from tiny clubs to massive cabaret venues.
Bobby Pattinson Laughs At Life was recorded in front of a delighted full house at the Phoenix Theatre Blyth in 2004.

Bobby Knoxall
MACKEM LAUGH
DVD: MWMDVD74 |
|
The wit and wisdom of Bobby Knoxall MBE
Introduced by Tim Healy
I’ve been a fan of Bobby Knoxall ever since I was a young lad. I was a welder but all I wanted to be was a comedian.
I first saw Bobby in 1974 at the Ouston Social Club in Chester le Street, County Durham and I laughed till my belly ached.
Bobby oozes confidence, from the moment he walks on stage. He makes you feel as if you were in his front room. I know that Bobby has
always needed to be a comedian.That’s his passion in life. This comes out in the delivery of his lines and in his 100% belief in
his material. That’s what makes him so special.
Every gag he tells sounds like his favourite, no question about it, and he delivers them brilliantly. He's travelled all over the world making people laugh and you have to care about people to want to do that.
Bobby is a one-off, a comedian’s comedian. He’ll always be a legend in the North East. He’s recently fought through a life threatening operation, has bounced back and is performing his own unique brand of humour again. I take my hat off to you pal, wish you love and luck, and I know people old and young who buy this DVD will have a great laugh.

Side-splitting belly laughs
from a North East comedy legend
Alan Snell’s eccentric style playing the Geordie daft lad has been entertaining audiences since 1970. At the peak of his career, he was doing up to twenty-one shows a week, including bookings throughout England, Wales and Scotland. But his favourite audiences are right here in the North East of England, where he’s won many awards for his work.
At His Very Vest was recorded in front of an audience at Newcastle Playhouse on 28 September 2003.
The video includes Alan’s quirky views on hospitals and doctors, schools and teachers, holidays abroad, football, pubs
and “wor lass”.
There are occasional mild swear words and references to sex so parental discretion is advised. The video has been given a “12” certificate.

TALL STORIES
CD: MWMCDSP67
VHS: MWMV67
DVD: MWMDVD67 |
|
Recorded in front of a live audience at the Customs House, South Shields, on Friday 11 March 2005.
Tall Stories features Brendan Healy’s surreal humour at its best. Alternative uses for Viagra, how to get your own back on taxi drivers, carol-singing snails and a witch doctor’s curse are all topics dealt with in Brendan’s irreverent and zany style. The programme carries a 15 certificate, although the occasional ribald language is unlikely to offend anyone other than people who have lead an exceptionally sheltered life!
The title Tall Stories reflects Brendan’s height - six feet four inches fully extended. The production was directed by Geoff Wonfor, who has made numerous videos including work for Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Bryan Ferry. He shared the direction duties with Ray Laidlaw, who used to play drums with Lindisfarne. |

DVD: MWMDVD75
VHS: MWMV75 |

Following Geordie actor Sammy Johnson's sudden death in 1998, his friends Tim Healy and Jimmy Nail established the Sammy Johnson Memorial Fund in his memory. This is the fourth of what has now become a series of sell-out concerts on Tyneside in support of the fund. The event, staged this time at the Sage Gateshead, again captured the imagination of the people of the North-East and both shows sold out without any advertising.
A cast featuring Tim Healy, Jimmy Nail and Kevin Whately - Dennis, Oz and Neville from Auf Wiedersehen Pet, plus Brian Johnson,
Denise Welch, Jill Halfpenny, Brendan Healy, John Miles,
ex-Lindisfarne singer Billy Mitchell, Young Sinfonia, the Swing Bridge Singers and many, many more delivered two hours of scintillating music and comedy in memory of their pal Sammy.
75% of proceeds from the sale of this product will be donated to the Sammy Johnson Memorial Fund. The fund is managed by the Community
Foundation and provides grants for talented young performers from the North East of England.

An amazing showcase of North East talent
When Geordie actor Sammy Johnson died suddenly in 1998, his friends Tim Healy and Jimmy Nail were determined he would be remembered.
The results of their labours was the formation of the Sammy Johnson Memorial Fund and a series of bi-annual concerts.
On the 1st February 2004, an all-star cast of Tynesiders performed two sell-out concerts at Newcastle City Hall in support of the fund.
Those lucky enough to get tickets laughed and sang their way through two hours of fantastic Geordie entertainment.
75% of the proceeds from the sale of this product will be donated to the Sammy Johnson Memorial Fund.

THE HULL STORY
DVD: MWMDVD72 |
|
When singer/songwriter Alan Hull died suddenly in November 1995, the reverberations travelled much further than his native Tyneside. As a founding member of the North East group Lindisfarne, his unforgettable songs had been heard around the world. Anyone who listened gained an insight into his thoughts on love, loss, heroes, villains, politics or just having fun, and all were married to melodies that could be delicate and beautiful or grand and anthemic.
On the 19th November 2005, ten years after his death, over 40 of Alan Hull’s musical and literary friends and colleagues gathered at Newcastle City Hall to perform his words and music as their own tribute before a hugely appreciative home-town audience. The money raised by the concert was donated to the North East Young Musicians Fund and all thirty pieces performed by the all-star ensemble that night are featured on this DVD.
Featuring Phil Armstrong, Michael Bailey, Alan Clark, Simon Cowe, Andrew Craggs, Marty Craggs, Steve Cunninghan, Steve Daggett, Brian Duffy, Tommy Duffy, Mike Elliott, Frankie Gibbon, Charlie Harcourt, Graham Hardy, Brendan Healy, Tim Healy, John Hedley, Robin Howe, Brian Hume, Irene Hume, Ray Jackson, Jack Laidlaw, Jed Laidlaw, Ray Laidlaw, Ian McCallum, Finn McCardle, John Miles Jnr, Billy Mitchell, Scott Mitchell, Terry Morgan, Jimmy Nail, Paul Nichols, Tom Pickard, Greg Pullen, Rachael Rhodes, Chris Ringer, Stephen Robson, Bob Smeaton, Paul Smith, Julian Sutton, Kathryn Tickell and Peter Tickell.

Tall Ships, Rivers And Seas
A celebration of the maritime heritage
of the North East of England.
1986. 1993. 2005. Each of these years is marked by a visit to the River Tyne of the Tall Ships. And to celebrate the event, the Northumbria Anthology has put together this video,
directed by Ken McKenzie.
It's a collection of thoughts and reminiscences of five North East writers, who specialise in the history of our region, our shipbuilders and our seafarers: Max Adams, Tony Barrow, Dick Keys, Adrian Osler and Ken Smith.
Find out why the Wear and the Tyne became such important shipbuilding centres, which Geordie admiral was the real hero of Trafalgar, how bad conditions were in the Royal Navy in the 18th Century and what it was like to live in fear of the press gang.
From the early days of wooden sailing vessels to triumphs of steam technology like the Mauretania, this video gives a fascinating glimpse of ships and the people who worked with them.

Tall Ships on the Tyne
Welcome aboard the biggest gathering of Tall Ships the country has ever seen for a magnificent festival of sail, music and celebration
in the company of Jill Halfpenny and Craig Conway, joined by the comic talents of Brendan Healy, Billy Mitchell and Mike Elliott.
This lyrical souvenir features over 100 Tall Ships from more than 30 countries as they visited the Newcastle/Gateshead Quayside for four memorable days in July 2005. More than 1.5 million people came to see this great spectacle and now you can relive the magic of the event including that awesome firework display when the Tyne became a River of Fire, and watch again as the largest Parade of Sail in the history of the event makes its stately progress to the starting line.
Experience the realities of life aboard as we join one of the crews on their voyage to join the festival and enjoy some wonderful music from the Northumbria Anthology, featuring songs by Graeme Danby, Judy Dinning, Sting and Jimmy Nail.
The programme is narrated by Eric Robson.
