Widowspeak (rooftop sessions)

Widowspeak keep appearing on rooftops...

Snub TV

Snub TV 89-91 I rounded up all the best clips from the show that shone a light on some of the great bands (new & old) of the time. I was about 18 and the show was broadcast weekly early evening - I used to ram a VHS video tape in the recorder every time it was on, as my parents wanted to watch the news, these are some of the clips I remember, and a couple I have never seen. With their detached, cool-as-ice presenting style (only voiceovers, never in your face) and decent band interviews, they managed to capture the essential indie scene in the moment, something only bloggers ever seem to do these days...
