This footage was shot almost forty years ago in late 1983 by Tracey’s old friend Huw Davies, a photographer and film maker, now turned academic. He turned up with his 16mm camera and filmed us in Hull and London. The soundtrack is Each and Every One from our debut album Eden, which we'd recorded just before this footage was shot.

You can see Tracey walking through King’s Cross station and getting on an Intercity 125 up to Hull. Meanwhile up in Hull Ben wanders around the docks, before walking down Salisbury Street and arriving at the flat where we lived at the time. Our handwritten names are underneath our doorbell, with an image of a trumpet.

We hadn’t seen any of it in decades. We contacted Huw in late 2022 and he very kindly rummaged around in his garage and found the reels and then digitised the original footage and sent it to us. Viewing it again was like opening up a time capsule. The clothes, the haircuts. Those cars driving round King’s Cross. That train.
