'Twist & Shout' -Going out in Oxford in the 1960's

[@andrewajjones122]

I was a teen in the 70's so some of this is before my time, but what an intersting snapshot of Oxford. Great video, and I loved everybody's reminisces.

Excellent. I was in the Twist and Shake group contest on 22 June 1964 (poster about 2 mins 50 seconds in). Great memories.

Fantastic! How wonderful to see Oxford in the 60's. My parents were teenagers in this era and I came along in the 70's. It does all seem like another lifetime, a different world and I miss the simplicity. My daughter did some courses with Film Oxford and is now studying film at Salford Uni. Well done for putting this together, I know how many hours and immeasurable patience went into it.

One Oxford character I can remember from the 60s and beyond was "Joyce." I recall being ushered across the road in St Aldates by my parents as Joyce swept down the street in a pair of ladies slacks and a chiffon scarf. He was quite a character! I worked in Oxford in the 80s and I saw "Joyce" knocking on the window of a bus in Gloucester Green to attract the attention of a man that he had taken a shine to. Joyce was as camp as Christmas, a complete extrovert - and at times, an embarrassment. He blazed a trail at a time when homosexuality was illegal. In his prime he was a sight to behold. Britain needs more eccentrics.

Yes I remember Joyce very well, a real eccentric, and completely fearless. Someone sent me an article recently about Joyce, it was from BBC Radio Oxford, entitled, Thomas John Joyce, interesting read.

Anyone remember the catacombs

Not a single "Oxford" accent to be heard in the whole video. 0:40. Nice tandem though! Ma & Pa & 2 kiddies. No helmets in those days.
