A short interview with Billy MacKenzie

I'm guessing from his outfit and glasses that this is from 1990/1991, but does anyone know where this comes from?
Short interview with Billy MacKenzie, 1989

I'm pretty certain that this is from the "Dundee - Britain's Biggest Village" episode of "It's My City!", shown on BBC1 on 20th June 1989. Can anyone confirm?

The Associates - Breakfast - ORS 85

From the same programme as the Billy MacKenzie in Dundee interview. I think it's ORS 85 - does anyone have any details about his?
The Associates - Breakfast - Riverside

Billed as Billy MacKenzie, it's Billy, Howard Hughes and a string section performing "Breakfast", so I'll guess that it's from early 1985. Does anyone know anything more about this?

Partial restoration of the band promoting one of three songs on a Dutch television programme. The outfits alone make it worthwhile.

Excellent 😊
Thanks! I uploaded last night and went to bed before typing the commentary; it's a trailer for the new single.
A question for our American friends, do you prefer this version of Human League ?
Such a handsome man with a haunting voice, this is such a beautiful song ❤️
A music legend that is not played often enough….. 80s miles better than the shite played today…
Superb. When music was original and groundbreaking.
Early Human League is the coolest music from this era as well as the image. Oakey’s haircut was a total one off and quite outrageous even now, makes his band mates look like Bank Clerks or something 👏😂
Thank you
Why are Blake and Avon in this?
Better than Bowie.
Fab memories of my youth. ❤
If Dr Who was a band!
Thx so much 4 this
A great talent sadly missed and gone to soon RIP Billy
There are only a few such songs on earth.
likeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Hope you found your peace billy beautiful man ❤
Wasnt he just so handsome??? Anyone??? Yeah the music is brill, but look at the gorgeous face....
No sign of that knob head simon cowell then when music was real...
Is that a young Gordon Strachan playing keyboards at the back ? 😂😂
Absolute classic
why why does he keep looking top left. Stop it
wow what a talent
rip+🍁
a fellow I worked with at the university radio station back in the 80s said to me "and he can actually sing". how very true...he could sing.
kind of known this tune for years but never paid much attention its been on absolute radio a few times after all these years im like wow!!!! im actually interested to know which act invented this kind of screaming tone of vocal style that was popular in the 80s?
love to learn how this song was written , its like from another entity of music makers
The most influential "unknown" band. I saw them in the late 80s at the Bottom Line in New York and was AMAZED. I expected them to become super popular. Whoops, wrong again. Still, I hear so many new bands and think to myself, "Nice try, but Durutti Column did that better". BTW, how great is that drummer?!
Love this - so sad xx Billy had a great, distinct and amazing voice
Wow what an incredible creative communicator , sharp like flint , flows like colours into each other , can not believe I've never heard of this band and songstress before discovering her through the equally wonderfully expressive Martin Jackson . Where have I been ....on another Planet ? ;D
Turns to shark??? Genius!!! RIP Billy.
I remember seeing this on TV - I was in the audience at the actual show - as well as Durutti Column Hugo Largo played. This was an ICA fundraiser but it took place at the Cambridge Theatre close to Covent Garden
Reproduction is one of the greatest albums of all time, almost as good as The Man Machine by Kraftwerk.
This disappeared for a while. So glad it's back up.
Strangest episode of Doctor Who ever.
So the lady pianist is only a Martha from Martha and the Muffins. 80's fest party at my place everyone. Oh and I had.Saturday job in Freeman Hardy and Willis, my shoe shop manageress would sing this on a continuous loop. 80 s to the MAX mofo.
One of those that your parents didn't 'get' in the 80s..... but we knew different :-)
What a voice! What a phenomenal voice! Every era produces videos that looks funny out of time but listen to that voice and the song writing - absolutely phenomenal... And I think it helps if you know the story behind the song which was one of Billy's family telling him about a party where two teenage girls turned up who were so out of it and out of control that the whole party was scared of them. If you put that tension in the song or them catherine-wheeling out of control, you see it even better - that was the Party that feared two. I absolutely bloody love this song.
A sign of what was to come in the 80s
Vini Reilly is simply amazing - makes my mind soar and my heart race - love you DC!
grand as owt, Bruce Mitchel , one o the best Manchester jazz drummers, currently running a lighting company too. Goes without saying Vini is a genius . smashing combination them two. Peace
apperantly he and Morrissey were lovers. anyone know if that's even true?
St Vincent
How so very sad. I didn't even know he'd died. He was beautiful, we swooned over him in the 80s
How so very sad. I didn't even know he'd died. He was beautiful and was his music in the 80s
Alan Rankine: "top of the pops tomorrow, Billy. important gig. what shall we wear to be taken seriously as major league chart contenders?". Billy MacKenzie: "i was thinking you could rock a samurai dentist and i'll go with 1940s french resistance flasher"... the incomparable wit and unquestionable genius that was (and will forever be) The Associates x
So Dystopian..Hard to believe this clip is nearly 40 years ago..Classic
Dutch? Isn't it Rotterdammerung? Götterdämmerung sounds so German...
Götterdämmerung = twilight/downfall of the gods, as I guess you well know. Otherwise you wouldn't have got the umlauts right ;)
So awesome!! Early Human League was the best!!
Beyond beautiful...
This is shocking , many good musicians & singers in the 80's this just doesn't do it for me.
The beauty in this genius is all in his mind, I can't imagine the colours he experiences. And all everyone thinks about is how monetarily rich they want to be. The Human race appals me
beautiful
