George Formby - Aunty Maggie's Remedy - Emperor of Lancs Posted by: Joshua12345
Video duration: 337 seconds Two more songs from George Formby, both from his film Turned out Nice Again. I am sorry about the very poor sync, but it went awry in the transfer. I'll try and upload better versions soon, but they're still ok. Related: emperor, formby, george, lancashire, lancs, remedy, ukelele |

Charlie Chaplin - City Lights - The Ring Posted by: Joshua12345
Video duration: 384 seconds Charlie decides to help a poor blind street flower seller pay for an operation to restore her sight, and takes various jobs to start raising the money. Here he is a prize fighter, and I reckon it's the best 6 minutes ever of the Chaplin Genius. Related: bout, box, boxing, chaplin, city, fight, lights, ring |

Lumiere Brothers - selection of silent shorts Posted by: Joshua12345
Video duration: 449 seconds These 10 very short films when combined, make a very enjoyable few minutes watching scenes from a bygone era. Please be patient,though, there are a few seconds between each film. Related: dinner, factory, goldfish, lumiere, lyons, mer, promio, sea, vaulting |

Hank Williams -- On Top of Old Smoky Posted by: Joshua12345
Video duration: 325 seconds Only Hank could have taken this 2 bit song and recorded the definitive version - live - and even the much maligned Miss Audrey has to take credit, her less than 100% vocals actually add to this. Related: hank-williams-live, top-old-smoky |

Video duration: 557 seconds 8 minutes of silliness from the Edison company. Related: beanstalk, edison, jack |

Felix the Cat with Gerry and the Minesweepers Posted by: Joshua12345
Video duration: 428 seconds Another short just for laughs. I've taken a Felix the Cat cartoon, taken off the original soundtrack, who liked his voice anyway?!!, and I've added ' I heard the Landlord', and 'Booze 'N' Blues' by Gerry and the Minesweepers. Related: blues, cartoon, cat, felix, minesweepers, the |

The Thomas Edison Company: Women boxing Posted by: Joshua12345
Video duration: 98 seconds Old Tommy Edison and his pals produced hundreds of shorts, but, the truth is, despite having greater resources, most are of little interest, artisitically anyway. This little offering is watchable because of its bizarreness, 2 women in full period dress have a boxing match. Daft. Related: boxing, edison, women |
![George Formby - You can\](http://img.youtube.com/vi/NfS8pGVrVEA/2.jpg "George Formby - You can\") |

Crosby, Little Crosby and Thornton in the Snow Posted by: Joshua12345
Video duration: 431 seconds Not a video but a collage of pics from March 12 2006, the only day the area had snow all year. There is also a few pics of the Iron Men of Crosby, more formally known as Another Place by artist Antony Gormley. The music is the backing track to the Skipper's Lament written by John Haines, and finishing off with El Dorado by Gerry and the Minesweepers featuring Gerry Jones Related: crosby, iron, liverpool, men, thornton |

On the Liverpool Waterfront Posted by: Joshua12345
Video duration: 259 seconds The rather cheeky title is just the new name for a vastly improved, video of the Port of Liverpool, the Mersey and Crosby Beach, with the song 'The Skipper's Lament' used as the background music. Related: beach, crosby, head, liverpool, mersey, pier |

The Little Match girl Posted by: Joshua12345
Video duration: 195 seconds If you care about people you will like this, it is very simplistic but poignant. It depicts the only good that can come out from the bad. Related: girl, little, match, matchgirl |

Liverpool FC - 60s/70s - You'll Never Walk Alone Posted by: Joshua12345
Video duration: 200 seconds Clips from an FA cup match in the 60s, assuming '65 but not certain, but very certain of the later clip, it is the clinching of the Championship in 1973, look out for me on the Kop, I'm the young lad with a tee shirt and red scarf. And, sorry, Gerry, but I think this superb Blues / Gospel band, 'The Original Blind Boys of Alabama' just has the edge on you. Related: kop, liverpool, liverpool-fc, shankly-1973-champions |

Go Kart Rock Posted by: Joshua12345
Video duration: 123 seconds Just a few snippets of 1930's 'Go Kart' racing. At least that's what the file was titled from the Prelinger Archive, but these Karts seem to be going suspiciously fast at times. Music is a vintage live track supplied again by Gerry and the Minesweepers Related: karts, minesweeper, racing |

Liverpool Scenes -- Promio / Lumiere - 1896 / 1897 Posted by: Joshua12345
Video duration: 360 seconds This is my modest attempt to help get much revered films out of the vaults and available to all. It is sad to note that even the film institutes who say that that is what they are about, fail miserably in their efforts. But, not here, enjoy the full unexpurgated Liverpool Scenes, filmed in 1896 by Alexandre Promio for the Lumiere Brothers, who released it in 1897. Related: lumiere-promio |
