- The song ‘A Place They Called Forgotten Town’ is a musical and lyrical reworking by Hull-born Henry Priestman of his late 1980’s chart hit ‘Forgotten Town’ by The Christians which was written about the state of the country at the time (the North especially), which particularly affected his home town Hull.
Produced by Hull-based Humber Film the music video features more than 20 Hull community groups, many of which among the 500-strong singers and musicians performing at Stage@TheDock.
Lead vocals, recorded at Fruit Trade Music, are Martin Clappison and Emma Fee of The Mighty and the Moon. Emma is also part of The Happy Endings.
Humber Film strategic manager Malcolm Joslin said: “The video will be a vivid and memorable portrayal of Hull as a community of optimism and renewal, marking its shift from a ‘Forgotten Town’ to a city that is becoming a top attraction in the UK.
“Hull becoming the UK City of Culture is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the people of the city to stand up and show the full range of their abilities to the world, including the artists and community groups involved in this amazing project for the Creative Communities Programme.”

Fantastic song and video - excellent achievement for all involved!
Uplifting song and video
Great video, well done all involved. Great to see my girls in there, my eldest at 3.56 and my youngest with a brilliant 'happy face' at 3.59.
brilliant ☺☺☺
the man you see from 2.33 is Henry Priestman who as it says in the credits wrote this song :-)
well done Henry, still relevant today 30 years later xx
Fantastic!
Always loved this song, especially for its oriental feel and the uplifting middle eight! Glorious video, too. Sadly the case of Hull is all too typical: in the face of constant neglect by a miserable, uncaring central government, how many more forgotten towns are there across Britain? I take my hat off to those brave citizens who have been getting the 'short straw' for far too long.
EXCELLENT!?
by the way, the sound is good.
