The Flying Pickets - Live From The Albany Empire (Enhanced audio) ITV 1980's.....

[@Robbie63]

I saw them in 1983. They were brilliant.

[@avril9572]

This brought back so many memories. I saw them first in 1982 in the theatre show "One Big Blow", and have never forgotten it.

[@mobsquad8557]

Avril Horn sic. I learned about this when I was a kid (in 84) and now I played it for my kids!!

[@brunettebabe9488]

This band always reminds me of when I had gromits done when I was 4 I first watched them on chas and dave’s show then when I came home from hospital I watched them perform only you on top of the pops, it still feels like yesterday!

[@inkeri60]

I just love them againg and alwaysssssssssssssss now ? oh yeah,,, What ????? Love forever !!!

[@richardanderson5424]

I have a signed program from one of their shows during the miners’ strike. Signed by Eric The Flame . One of the signatures was from one picket to another. It belongs to my uncle (I was Very young at the time) but he was a union official during the strike. He was in many news reports and is included in the 1980’s Rock and Roll Years.

I saw them live at the Hammersmith Palais in 1984. David Brett just stunned me -- singing high notes on most songs and taking the bass line on "Remember This."

[@alanpymont9651]

Saw them live three times. Portsmouth, Fareham and Soton. Couldn't believe how they recreated the sound live!!!!! Have a 12 inch single of Only You in Spanish!😎

Live at the Albany Empire is one of my favourite albums but mine's a tape and I haven't had the means to play it for years. Great stuff! Thanks for uploading this.

[@andreasherrle8763]

Same here. Now I finally found it on vinyl.

[@corvettevipergts84]

I have this on LP, didn't know they did a TV version :)

[@haicokuut]

me too, but i think there are more songs in this video than on the LP. Can you check?

[@Tiddybeth]

One of my favourite bands. I remember Granada TV really championed them. Thank you for the upload.

[@DJNee]

My pleasure! I became a fan as my sister was pretty much one of their biggest fans back in the day. She recorded so, so much stuff off the TV of them back then, none of which i can since find uploaded on KZbin....like them on Pebble Mill (BBC daytime tv show in the 80's) I have since asked her if she still has all of these recordings and unfortunately she can't find them. She had so much recorded stuff of them. Gutted it's all lost

[@stevieh9860]

I saw them at the beginning. 50p Jackson Club Hull. "supported " by Iain " sludge" Lees..fabulous. So drunk but they were so good. Had this on vinyl but never seen it till now. Fantastic thanks.

[@DJNee]

Happy to help :) Thanks for commenting

[@PaulSuttonArt]

Wow just wonderful... I went to see them live when I was just only 15, at a club in Manchester... my dad took me, my GF at the time and my brother Mark... it was just the best thing ever... I've still got the album I bought there and then, with the inner white sleeve signed by all of them... Memories are made of this !

[@fishhead6449]

Brilliant Perfection

[@angelbangtana9885]

Been a fan since I was about six, but in promo pics where they all in a row they make me think of some alternative dimension where they were each a different Dr Who Which would have been cool

[@djenorman]

Thank you so much for uploading this.

[@SimondeLisle-au]

Superb - thank you.

[@Sayana7]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@trevorblackman5802]

Have the lp and saw them live

[@richardanderson5424]

Red Stripe aka Eric The Flame fire eater

[@blueycarlton]

Saw them twice in Melbourne, it was 1981 or 1982.

[@richardanderson5424]

I think they were blacklisted after supporting the NUM during the miners’ strike 83-84.

[@katesmith5255]

I don't care, this is top quality with an extra dose of humour - fantastic

[@gkoryniaka]

who's the female vocalist in Mocking Bird?

[@DJNee]

Gwilym Koryniaka Debbie Bishop. If you need more info on her I think there's a Wikipedia page for her too...
