After an amazing Blackpool sunset I take you on a tour of a rowdy town centre on a balmy & very busy Friday night. Recorded 31/7/20 Music: looperman.com
@Bipolar Ronnie O'Sullivan As if I'd share that with an online creep! I certainly don't live in that shithole Blackpool. So go and meet your druggie mates you loser.
Good to Blackpool in bloom....as a Sandgrown person, I hate it when people criticising our town. Yes it has bad points, but a lot of good ones as well. I wish the local authorities got a grip of it all and make it a greater place 🙏 keep up the good work.
I really enjoy your videos, other vloggers shy away from the 'dark side' and times when you just wish they would show you what's going on but turn away, not you ! Anything or anyone interesting your there Keep it up 😉
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool Your work is superior to the other vloggers Stephen, there's really nobody who can touch you. I'm drawn to your videos like a moth to a flame xx
A lovely atmospheric video. You captured Blackpool after dark BRILLIANTLY! It brought back fond memories of when we stayed in Lord Street (a few times). We love and miss Blackpool. Hope to get back soon.
Lovely vlog. I lived and worked in Blackpool in the early 70's and worked in Jenks bar used to be opposite Yates. Its changed ts name unsure now what its called. I did a few shifts in the Gaiety bar too. My old stomping ground loved it. !!
Love your vlogs, always good to see new places and life in general, wish government ministers spent as much time as you do chronicled state Britain, Brunel would be so sad
Love Blackpool for a pub crawl on a summer Saturday, been doing it for 20+ years, such a great atmosphere and rarely seen any trouble. Miss some of the old bars mind.
When I was young we went on hols here, I remember alarms/horn sounding going off on a peer if someone had jumped into the water.... I can still hear it to this day, we went once when it was stormy and windy with 6 ft waves crashing onto the beachfront so maybe that could have been the reason... Can't wait to go back here tho 👍 great vids thank you
Great stuff. I'd like to go back to Seattle one day. Maybe I will get the shot I wanted, a clear shot of the city and Mt Rainier from Kerry Park. I managed this effort in 2015 flic.kr/p/AWXStc
Fantastic filming and great intro. I must admit this isn’t my scene anymore, but I have been to the Syndicate night club in the past which I believe is now demolished? Thank you for sharing, great video.
Blackpool is dead now, stayed and worked there in 1997 and 1998, you could hardly move down the main streets it was that busy. Sad to see it this quiet.
It's great 2 c people enjoying themselves Blackpool is a fantastic place for a great wk end, like everywhere else u get people that dont know when 2 stop drinking and of course not forgetting a share of morons as I said we all have our share. I'm a very mature person and I luv 2 go walk around late on and I have never come across any trouble in fact really nice young people just enjoying themselves. Blackpool everytime fantastic wk end treat yourself something for everyone 😀
Great vlog mate. Nice to mix it up. It's been a long time since I have been on a night out in Blackpool. Scratch that, it's been a long time I have been on a night out anywhere 🙂. Nice work mate, keep it up
@@markbtelevision many ways just how society was then, schools fought each other nearly every day for a laugh round our way, i think what helped it be this way was number one police weren't that bothered about aggro back then, in general or with the football violence it took em years before thatcher intervened and made them deal with it, another example back then lads had a go at the gays and nothing happened, though there wasn't anywhere near the amount now because there protected these days, i was only young back then but it was a culture of violence, i grew up on the biggest estate in Blackpool Grange Park, or as some people called it strange park were again fighting was an every day thing even at age 10, if you walked through part of the estate alone you'd probably get attacked and depending you would end up with a sore face, all this went on until society and the courts in general became anti violence, so people know if they are violent and cause harm theyl get locked up.
@@markbtelevision I'll give you another quite big example of how it was different back then with violence, at the clubs round our way that had doormen on from other places, they'd nearly always get attacked or some of our lads would get lairy in the gaff and cause doormen to intervene, would always end up in our lads fighting them nearly every weekend in town, again unless somebody got badly injured the cops weren't bothered, but now it's different there all in touch with each other.
You'd be better off moving to Lytham and having Blackpool as your neighbour. There are not many nice places left to live in Blackpool, I can assure you. Lytham is a bit snobby and obviously more expensive than Blackpool, but that's just the way it goes.
We will be up for "Rebellion" even though it's not on this year. There's a lot of people doing the same, so from now until Sunday you should see quite a few of us. The event might not be on, but we will still come for a laugh and a good time. Always have a good time here. If we see you filming we'll come and say hello :)
Just caught this one . Made me feel a little melancholy , but in a good way if you get what l mean . If aliens were to land in Blackpool on a Friday/ Saturday night l wonder what they'd make of it all ? I find it fascinating , and no , l'm not an alien !
The standard atmosphere just isn't there, It's a massive shame to witness a place like Blackpool in such a decline but that is the truth and it's been in decline for a good number of years, Covid-19 has been another hammer blow the town did not need but Blackpool has had big problems long before Covid. I've spent years in the place what with Holidays and in the past lived and worked in the town too but I last visited back in 2018 and I couldn't help but think I wasn't sure when Id return. All the Piers are just in a sorry state and not been getting basic maintenance, they look very rundown and the insides are stuck in the 1980's, toilets are extremely poor considering this is ''2020'' and none of the rides are exactly cheap. Lots of places in regards to attractions etc is a classic example of they have been TAKING TAKING TAKING but over ''YEARS'' not investing back in. When you apply the ''TAKE recipe'' over years it only has one ending, a seaside town going downhill rapidly with no brakes and a few new hotels or a new tramline will not fix that.
It's always been disgusting.Last time we went ( couple of years ago), we drove out of the carpark and an Asian family were sat on a huge blanket eating on the road! Didn't even move out of the way.... Dump.
I remember a pub crawl and every pub packed. Some pubs with live music, others DJ, family pubs too. The streets packed in some areas. Lots of night clubs to crash. Or go watch a show or even cinema with a bar and food and spend the evening. Now it's get em in, get the cash and on your bike. Now everything seems tacky and very low. Hope it changes for the better.
Hi sorry I don't know really enjoy he videos How do u film them? I seen u with one of the tripod things BT u surely can't walk abt carrying that to film Is it a mobile phone u use if so does it arm not ache holding it all that time? I don't know how u manage to walk talk & see where it going all at once u make it all look so natural That guys right u show all of Blackpool not just the fun bits bt everything ! It sunset video was amazing beautiful! Shame Blackpool has had to go back into lockdown & lights got switched of At least theyv left the tower lite so something's still bright Keep making ur videos Thanks really enjoy them Hope to see u soon
Thanks Deborah. I mainly use a very small camera, which doesn't actually look like a camera, so I can be quite discreet with it. This video was a bit different because all I had was my dslr camera , which I had to use mainly from the tripod. The quality from this camera is much better than my small one, but not so easy to lug around.
It made me quite sad watching this. As usual your camera work was excellent but but before emigrating I lived In Blackpool on Lytham Road in the late 80s, early 90's and it was constant hustle & bustle, people everywhere, bright lights & and a really happy vibe. I didn't get that vibe at all watching this, It's really gone downhill since those days, such a shame.
Very good video,and fine sunset,but what a foul dump of a town,nothing but run down shops,junk food, and sleezy bars,such a shame, I doubt it can ever recover its once lively but decent reputation,and all those tragic vagrants and street people!!.and now that miss Sturgen has advised against visiting this summer I fear Blackpool will be left to it,s drunks and degenerates .
All the many many times I have been to Blackpool and I have never been round the town drinking. Also love the pictures of the sunset and have you ever thought of getting a drone with a HD camera, I reckon you would get some amazing shots.
Funny enough, I am a fully licensed drone operator. I should include some footage in these Blackpool vids, but so far I have only used the drone in the Morecambe video.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool Sorry I did not know you were a licensed operator as I have not seen your Morecambe video, I will have to watch it but yeah I think a lot of people including myself will appreciate any and all of your drone footage. Thanks.
Your camera work and editing is very good you make Blackpool look better than it actually is . You really need to go to Manchester or Liverpool. Lots to film there .
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool yep come to Northampton, Kettering. Or u want ruff go corby lol or u wanna get mugged go to Queens way in Wellingborough. Rough as shit.
Loving your work bro.. Shame Blackpool has become the arse hole of the north.. Bring it back to the good old days I remember as a kid.. Get rid of the drunks / prostitutes and smack heads... The council need to do more for the homeless also.. Much love from Liverpool 💙
I live in Blackpool, and that' the quietest I have ever seen Blackpool on a friday night. It used to be rammed busy in the 70s, & 80s. Maybe you were filming early evening. Either way, the lockdown has had a massive downward effect on the bars ...people cant be bothered having to book tables in bars etc. A really well filmed video though.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool all over the world what a shame I have 3 hoildays cancelled this year the worst one my daughters weeding I mexio been cancelled twice last year due to thomas cook this year due to the virus
Fabulous camera and editing skills, you're very talented. Why is the tower lit up like that, is it for an event or permanent? Looks great although Blackpool looks to of gone really rough. Be careful out there, if you look at them in the wrong way or they take exception with you filming them, they could take your camera off you.
Thanks John. I do put quite a bit of effort into the editing, so the videos flow nicely. The filming is pretty covert, so it's very difficult to tell I am filming.
I used to like Blackpool in the 80s and early 90s but it slowly eroded into a massive shit hole.... This Place and Benidorm I could not even send my worst enemy to. That said this is a nicely styled videography. The Baleric sound track is chill but is more Iberico ham than Blackpudding. 😂. On a more serious note... has Blackpool cleaned its act up yet on being a notorious grooming gangs paradise.?!! Had or still has a shocking reputation for grooming gangs picking up young vulnerable girls in and around the cafes and arcades... Dirty bastards... Where's the Government report!?????
Thanks for the compliment. On the subject of grooming gangs, Blackpool was well documented a few years back after the Charlene Downes murder. It's surprising how many people probably are not aware of what happened. The takeaway (renamed) which was at the heart of the case, features in several of my videos.
Grant Wilson sadly, a race with no respect for women. An Asian Taxi Driver heavily came onto my Daughter who was 18 at the time. Luckily she took a video. He was sacked by Licensing 8 days later.
Wild side, you are so correct, apart from the glitz and glamor of your beach road, Blackpool is just like any other British town, seedy and dirty. No self respecting sauna parlor with the name of Brooklyns would trade in the real Brooklyn.
I hope it will be easy for me to pull birds ere in Blackpool .I'm a young geezer from london that just moved here 3 weeks ago and ain't know no1 fam, all my gang is back in the hood causing trouble still lol I ain't really banging or doing that shit no more I think that's why my parents moved me here, so I'm on my Jack jones here my mum and dad moved here with me and they got a yard in lake district but got me a yard in Blackpool's they said it will be close to them still as I aint never left home before ha ha.do the birds like London boys ?or is life over for me now I'm here? Ps decent vid bruv respect
Hi mate great video again ... The drinkers aren't social distances are there must be so sad more too life than drinking when theres a killer virus about
A rowdy Friday night shouldn’t exist right now! We are in a pandemic 🤷🏻♂️ clearly the people of Blackpool didn’t get the memo... - Premesis and security are responsible for managing social distancing, This clearly wasn’t happening! - Music in any licenced premises is to be at background level only to not promote raised voices/Singing! Is it any wonder that Blackpool will again go into lockdown shortly when premesis and people wether on a weekend break or locals are showing complete disregard to our current climate?! Why are people in our nation so stupid that they cannot follow simple instructions?! I’m embarrassed at times to live in this country
The place has been turned into a shit hole by the Labour controlled council. Only investment was sea front but no help for Hotel owners, don't believe me have a walk down Lytham road.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool top ho, hey if you like this sort of thing have you ever thought of doing a proper documentary styled video about blackpool. bet it would be fun. If I lived in blackpool I'd totally do that. up to you, likes.
@@Just_Another_Piece_Of_Toast I am evolving into doing short history videos (see Derby Baths). I will also do some murder & mystery videos based on past events in the town.
Thx for uploading. If you have a minute come check out my music videos - I'm an indie rock musician and think you might dig my sound. Really appreciate it!
I’m more focused on the homeless that you, and the rest are walking by. It’s like they don’t exist?, it’s Sad 😔 sit down with them, sober, and hear what they have to say. If you can show them some Godly love, tell them about Jesus and give them food, an ear, and a shoulder, and better yet and hand up out of the gutter xx
It's great your not afraid to show the moody side of Blackpool.
If you think that's the moody side of Blackpool you my friend have absolutely 0 idea about the town
Greet brilliant videos
was born in Blackpool, lived there for 34 years...I loved Springs/Calipso Bar/Rumours.... lived for Thur/Fri/Sat ! good video
You poor bugger living in that shithole.

I love the sound of the sea rushing to the shore.
Great video I go to Blackpool every year I love it😍
Great video "A Night On The Town" Stephen. So atmospheric and I loved the music.
Nice intro sunset great to see it was still busy at night can't wait 4 the lights this year thanks xxx peace
Thank you so much. I thought it would be a nice start. Hope you like our extended lights season.
Wow what a sunset.Love the video brother,lots of my drinking holes.Keep up the good work,can't wait to get back up Blackpool xxx

Like a walk in the park compared to the 80s, much wilder back then and more violent, its what helped with our towns decline, scared family's away.

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool looked super cool when it appeared thanks for replying . Antony
@@thrualens Yeah it did look a bit like a ufo lol. Maybe I should send it to one of those alien tv programmes!
Maybe there's a video in there somewhere lol Blackpool aliens
I used to like Blackpool in the 80s and early 90s but it slowly eroded into a massive shit hole.... This Place and Benidorm I could not even send my worst enemy to. That said this is a nicely styled videography. The Baleric sound track is chill but is more Iberico ham than Blackpudding. 😂.
On a more serious note... has Blackpool cleaned its act up yet on being a notorious grooming gangs paradise.?!! Had or still has a shocking reputation for grooming gangs picking up young vulnerable girls in and around the cafes and arcades... Dirty bastards... Where's the Government report!?????
Thanks for the compliment. On the subject of grooming gangs, Blackpool was well documented a few years back after the Charlene Downes murder. It's surprising how many people probably are not aware of what happened. The takeaway (renamed) which was at the heart of the case, features in several of my videos.
Grant Wilson sadly, a race with no respect for women. An Asian Taxi Driver heavily came onto my Daughter who was 18 at the time. Luckily she took a video. He was sacked by Licensing 8 days later.
Beautiful Sunset, could have been in Africa. The rest looks cheap & nasty. Last time I visited was 1976 . Never again .
If there is one thing we have that is enviable, it's those sunsets.
Looks like ibiza
Wild side, you are so correct, apart from the glitz and glamor of your beach road, Blackpool is just like any other British town, seedy and dirty. No self respecting sauna parlor with the name of Brooklyns would trade in the real Brooklyn.
are you from blackpool mate?
Yes
I hope it will be easy for me to pull birds ere in Blackpool .I'm a young geezer from london that just moved here 3 weeks ago and ain't know no1 fam, all my gang is back in the hood causing trouble still lol I ain't really banging or doing that shit no more I think that's why my parents moved me here, so I'm on my Jack jones here my mum and dad moved here with me and they got a yard in lake district but got me a yard in Blackpool's they said it will be close to them still as I aint never left home before ha ha.do the birds like London boys ?or is life over for me now I'm here?
Ps decent vid bruv respect
I think they will like a southern accent, even if it's fake cockney. Do your best Danny Dyer impression and that will rewarded with compliments.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool I am true cockney I'm from east London same town danny Dyer lives mate.
@@paulsmith2823 Nice one. You can't go Pete Tong.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool sweet as bruv.i watch your vids to check out the area
No body drunk thats good
Hi mate great video again ... The drinkers aren't social distances are there must be so sad more too life than drinking when theres a killer virus about
That's right Andy. The more drink, the less social distance!
Grim.
Such a shame the amount of homeless there is on the street
Not a place I would go on a night out any more ,far too many aggressive drunken louts just looking for a fight .
See the man outside Amigos at midnight getting his dole money.
Not really it's not that bad.
@@briandoherty3249 ooh, sorry Brian, it is. 👎
Busy ??? It’s dead
A rowdy Friday night shouldn’t exist right now!
We are in a pandemic 🤷🏻♂️ clearly the people of Blackpool didn’t get the memo...
- Premesis and security are responsible for managing social distancing, This clearly wasn’t happening!
- Music in any licenced premises is to be at background level only to not promote raised voices/Singing!
Is it any wonder that Blackpool will again go into lockdown shortly when premesis and people wether on a weekend break or locals are showing complete disregard to our current climate?!
Why are people in our nation so stupid that they cannot follow simple instructions?!
I’m embarrassed at times to live in this country
47 second intro is too long.
Bri Sutcliffe It was longer than that until I cut it down. I’ll try not to do longer than 30 seconds if I do another similar intro
The place has been turned into a shit hole by the Labour controlled council. Only investment was sea front but no help for Hotel owners, don't believe me have a walk down Lytham road.
why do you do slow mo and close up on random people, I don't wanna call ya a weirdo dude but it's a little bit creepy.
Just a bit of fun dude. I don't do now anyway. I have evolved since.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool top ho, hey if you like this sort of thing have you ever thought of doing a proper documentary styled video about blackpool. bet it would be fun. If I lived in blackpool I'd totally do that. up to you, likes.
@@Just_Another_Piece_Of_Toast I am evolving into doing short history videos (see Derby Baths). I will also do some murder & mystery videos based on past events in the town.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool oh cool well if ya ever need a starving artist to do some graphic designs for them XD jk
It’s a shot hole
Thx for uploading. If you have a minute come check out my music videos - I'm an indie rock musician and think you might dig my sound. Really appreciate it!
it`s a shit hole has been for years 👀
I’m more focused on the homeless that you, and the rest are walking by. It’s like they don’t exist?, it’s Sad 😔 sit down with them, sober, and hear what they have to say. If you can show them some Godly love, tell them about Jesus and give them food, an ear, and a shoulder, and better yet and hand up out of the gutter xx
You are an absolute weirdo ! Walking round filming everyone 🙈
Just your opinion dude.
