And not one in sight x great old days

Brilliant stuff...👍

Before Health and Safety

I miss those old commer vans

To think that albums 25 years old now,where did the time go ?

Strange how in the 90s the 70s seemed a long time ago but now seems like yesterday. Tempus fugit. And it fugits faster every effing day!!

Never even been to Glasgow but that was some awesome footage and good tunes. Really was like stepping back in time 👍

No idea how this appeared on my feed, but brought back memories of my generation. I was 19 in 1976. Loved the Harry Worth impression. All the 'youngsters' shown in this will be like me, in their mid 60's by now. If I'd known it was going to be this hard, I wouldn't have bothered getting old.

Belle & Sebastian...Sound just like Donovan...

fantastic :)

Thanks for uploadind this vid. I grew up in the west end and remember the bin strikes well. All the mice and rats everywhere.

Just seems like yesterday, even the cars still as fresh in my head, brilliant before technology spoiled conversation haha.

🤗 Promo_SM!

A simpler way of life with no tech 😏

Nothings changed a bit heehee

Nice one! I did the same as well. Mid 80's used my Radio Rentals freebie - hire of a video camera for a day. I just took Vids of my area, no rhyme or reason and no documantary style. Just a youngster messing about with an early Video camera. Good stuff to see your footage online. At least generations to come will be able to view it!

Brilliant. loved the soundtrack as well. (I was born in '66)

Wicked

Fabulous

Great wee film and thanks for sharing it 😎

I used to drive these buses out of Knightswood Garage. Exact fare only.. I used to get offered cans of beer for the fare to Drumchapel ! Thanks for posting a wee snapshot of a while ago.

Love this ❤

Yet another incredible song by Tom Houston

Really nice video, thank you so much for sharing. I fish quite a lot and often get a pang of worry that I've left my waders at home!!! I'm glad someone was there to remind him :-)

Belle and Sebastian are so contrived and are hardly representative of Glasgow. As a soo'sider this is a hipsters view of Glesga. Phoney.

Love this song. I heard it recently on BBC Radio Scotland's Iain Anderson Show. I explored Tom Houston's music further which resulted in the purchase of his CD's.

All the elderly men watching tbe young man with envy in their eyes wishing they can go back and now that young man looking back wishing to go back too. My mother was a young woman back then and my dad was in his 30s. I would think them to be free my mothers mother ran the show in her life as her dad passed away when she was young. She made she sure she would marry young to my dad after them meeting in the hospital. She claimed her mother threatened her to be thrown on the streets if she refused. But my mother was said to always be a odd one even since she was little. I know her to be a sociopath narcissist myself. I also know my mother to lie and twist the truth to suit herself regularly. So I'm not sure what the truth there is. But if it were true her life and choices wouldn't have been free back then she had no choice but to become a nurse back then she claimed. I always felt her freedom must have come when she walked out on my dad but she had it free in their marriage all along she ruled the house she put out the orders nasty orders such as beat me up abuse me use me as a scapegoat murder and slaughter and dump the pets... everything was about her being served when I was growing up and she wanted nothing to do with us she constantly wanted us to serve her or not be heard or seen. And she constantly blamed everything on my dad while abusing him and spending his money on her own luxuries and our family into bankruptcy. Then when he ran out of money she left and got money through my brother and I. And left the adult children with my dad as I know now it would cost her to take them on rather than give her child support income unlike me and my little brother. Oh how things only got worse from there... but for me going out and travelling around whenever I liked feels like freedom... because I was trapped indoors 24 7 and made a house slave for my mother since I was a little girl. So freedom now is having my own mind feelings choices freedom will etc... I see family and groups as restrictive as like those times when it was the norm and not treated as abuse and neglect. My mother and dad married in 1970 and had my brother in 1971 and my sister in 1973... my mother murdered another sister between 1978 and 1982. I believe it was between my two brothers who were born in 1976 and 1980 because she has had boy and girl and boy and girl but my family claim it was before my sister in 1983 was born. My brothers gave me the hardest of times for being born because the family did not want me. When my little brother came along everyone favoured him most and said it should have stopped at him but I should not have been born. I think it was the another sister envy conflict thing. My mother set siblings up again each other she did it also by setting favourites but she changed it often to start conflict most of the times it was females against males. She was also herself envious if female rivalry even with her own daughters. I got a lot of that abuse for that very reason too. Even at 6 years old when I had no idea why I was hated so much and abused for no reason. I thought people nowadays generations now adays was getting more abusive an disrespectful but it really has always been the case. I think the 70s was when the corruption began. That was when manners and maturity and respect and that stopped and everyone for themselves began. They were not as loud in the 60s around it as they were in the 70s there was a balance there between those with a older generation background and the young who took over. I noticed in the 70s video and throughout my childhood too that there were quite a lot of elderly about maybe it was not because there was more of them just that they are retired and have no work or study like the younger people or adults have so they get out more... but nowadays there are less of the elderly there are more youths and kids everywhere I've noticed. Strange times... Anyway Enough babbling.

Very nice!

great voice!

Great sound!

A really fine song!

Bag of shite, B and S going on about racism just doesn't register here, we didnae gie a fuck aboot PC shite back then.

Love this song, can listen to it for hours.

My god so many memories flooding back

Great vocals

Great video 👍 great music 👏👍👍👏👌

WOW this needs to be seen and listened!

West end pish, that's hardly representative of Glasgow of the 70's

Thanks for posting, I enjoyed watching and its good that you included footage of the army being sent in to clear the rubbish from the bin strike, also liked the soundtrack from B,S, a good Glasgow group.

could have been anywhere, pretty poor excuse for a 70'sG;asgow film

Good stuff, Tom!

Really enjoyed that well done....

I remember it well, if you walked in Parkhead with your boyfriend they would give him a kicking for no reason other than because they could. It wasn't enough to seriously injure but a few bruised ribs.

This takes me back. Skip the bus or train into into town for a bit of mischief then a platform ticket home. Changed days. Love my city always.

cool!

awsome !
