Production material shot by students of the North East Media Training Centre that would form part of the music video 'Geordie Boys' by Paul Gascoigne. The tapes feature views along the River Tyne, the Scotswood area of the city and Eldon Square where people are out shopping. The film also features young men and women out enjoying themselves on a Saturday night in December 1990 around the bars of the Cloth Market in Newcastle. The film ends on a boy writing 'GAZZA' in big letters on a wall near the Byker Wall. The film opens with a view from the riverside of the iconic Tyneside bridges showing the Tyne Bridge, the High Level Bridge and the lower Swing Bridge. A closer view of the bridges follows. Close views follow of river craft moored at the quayside not far from the Tyne bridge. The film pulls back to repeat the general views of the bridges and the boats at the quayside. The view changes to show the large Baltic Flour Mills building on the Gateshead riverside. It then moves back to the three bridges view. A closer view of the arch of Tyne bridge follows taken further up the bank on the Newcastle side of the river. Followed by another a bit closer but from a similar vantage point, with roofs of older buildings in the foreground. The view moves further back showing more of the foreground buildings. A change of view shows a street looking downhill in the Scotswood area of Newcastle. Snow has been falling and covers the road. A pedestrian walks up the street towards the camera. General views follow of other pedestrians walking along the snow-covered street. More general views follow of the street. A similar view follows looking downhill along a back street. The views changes to traffic going across the new Scotswood bridge in bad weather. The film pulls back to show a footpath between two rows of houses. The film goes back to the closer view of the Scotswood bridge. These changes of view are repeated. The next view shows a back street in bad weather with few people venturing out into the cold. A general view follows up one of the hilly streets from the main road, with rain and sleet obscuring the view as it hits the camera lens. A complete change of view as the film shows Newcastle city centre particularly Eldon Square shopping centre. Crowds walk past the camera; some notice it, others ignore it. Filming here follows mainly younger people, single or in couples, looking in shop windows and generally going about their business. The centre is decorated for Christmas. The film cuts to the entrance to a night club or pub, probably Presidents Bar in the Cloth Market next door to Bewicks pub. Security men stand either side of the doorway. A view outside at nighttime shows a group of young men walk past the bar continuing further up the street. Another two walk into the club past the security men. General views from the rainy pavement show people walking to and fro either past the club or going into it, some wave to the camera and/or shout. General views follow at the club entrance. Along the pavement a group of males approach in fancy dress and play up to the camera. The film shows a view of the street towards the club entrance and general views of people walking along the rain-soaked street. Later others emerge from clubs and pubs somewhat worse for wear singing and shouting. Views follow of people going into and out of Robinsons wine bar. More general views follow then the film shows people queuing at the entrance to Balmbra’s bar and former music hall, also in the Cloth Market. The film cuts to a small boy standing next to the word ‘Gazza’ that’s been written in large letters with a spray can on a brick wall. The film ends as it pulls back to show the brick wall and part of the Byker Wall residential area.
