A WEE DRIVE AROUND GLASGOW 1990'S Old Garthamlock Road Old duke street GIRO PRODUCTIONS (c) COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL PROPERTY OF GIRO PRODUCTIONS LIMITED (c)
Loved it, hope you have more like this. Nothing beats looking back at the way things were when I was 16 and comparing it to how it looks nowadays, great stuff mate.
The year I started senior school.. I was 11 years old but I feel lucky to have grown up in the 1980"s and 90"s compared to what the kids have to deal with today.
Superb, most of the folk watching this will prob have been 16-25 oot ducking and diving to get some cash together to go oot wae oor new timbues oan and get fu of the doves at the exact time this video being made, grabs ye and takes ye right back and puts a smile on yer face and a tear in yer eye at the same time, made me remember auld pals no longer here anaw.. good ole days 🙂👍
8.31 minutes, D-Shake - Yaaah. Remember driving about like this, more in Ruggie and Toryglen though, listening to the same tunes, then heading to Tin Pan and the Subbie at the weekend. As you say, "smile on yer face and a tear in yer eye at the same time". Good times.
My Dad worked at Firth Brown at the forge. I remember scenes of unimaginable deprivation in the surrounding areas - this was in the late 70s to mid 80s.
I think I see old Hagill here - on the left side before you reach "The Jigging" - looks like the area around Corsock and Appin street before it was knocked down.
Guy at the end ... Was up the Mardi Gras the night before getting "full o it" .. I coulda been there that night myself . Those were the days my friend, I thought they'd never end.
Duke Street before it was ruined, the old butcher's and flats at corner that got pulled down at Whitehill street. Coia's bought the land then built those new flats and their restaurant. Remember Coias was at top of Millerston st and Duke St across from station. An old friend talking about the Mardi Gras, saw him recently he's doing well for himself
@@GIRO He's doing great and got his own landscaping / gardening business going which is doing well as he's got good few vans and workers on the go. I hadn't seen him myself for ages and saw him in Asda, was same old Tony smiling and laughing . Was Good to see one of the guys doing well for himself, I like to see people getting on.
@@GIRO Usual stuff same shit different days. You must have hours of footage built up are you working through it converting from tape to digital. Did you film a lot during the 90's or kept going through the years, when you think of camera size then to hd quality on some phones its crazy.
I worked there in 1990 when Asda was Gateway. Half of Carntyne worked in it. Remember the manager pulled up some of the young guys and after his shift he went out to his car which had a brick through the front windae
@@GIRO thanks for getting back to me! Sorry for the delayed reply I've been off for a week with Covid... I'm an Archive Producer and I work on documentaries with Pulse Films - if you google my name and "archive producer" that will take you to my website which has my contact details on, please can you call or email me? Thanks
The band Scheme was from Cranhill. My brother toured with them around Europe. The lead singer Robert was still doing songs in pubs in the city centre around 2010. I met him in the lamp post on the high street. That pub is gone now. I used to have a cassette tape of all their songs that my brother gave me but i gave it to another brother years ago and never got it back. The song they did in the 1980s that goes something like "another 5yrs you have f#$ked it up again" was my favourite at the time. It was about Maggie Thatcher 🤣
Crazy! So many memories you didn't realise you had...if that makes sense. Thanks for this. Does make ye feel a little old though. More teeth and hair than I thought I'd have. 😷🤕😬😲🙃
I know these areas well but just wondering if you have any footage from places like Kirkintilloch, Bishopbriggs, Lenzie etc as alot of changes in some of those places especially Kirkintilloch main street?
@@garryallison5679I always hated rangers fans till I seen a couple of rangers boys getting battered by a few Celtic fans near Byers rd.. jumped in and helped them and it made me look at things differently from then on, one of them had a Stanley blade and was about to do some serious damage, thank god my mate and me got there in time,, utter madness

Womack and Womack. Smashing
Love this video well done troops anymore ae youse driving about
Wish I was 32 in 1990
I always thought the Forge opened in 1992, so kinda surprised its about in 90.
It probably was 92. The years are never correct on these videos.
Started building in 86 and opened on the 10th of Oct 88
The auld Forge works (Beardmore) shut doon in '83.
Started building the 'new' shopping centre couple ae years later.

Love your videos mate...It's great looking back at how Glasgow used to be..Did you ever record any stuff from Glasgow band Scheme at all?
The band Scheme was from Cranhill.
My brother toured with them around Europe.

I met him in the lamp post on the high street.
That pub is gone now.

Brilliant mate 😂

There was no such thing back then as an iPhone
Silly question but what would they have filmed it with?
