The Bunker Video

This section of the site is devoted entirely to the Bunker Video. It was produced by a bloke called Mick Catmull, originally from Billericky, and who lived in Sunderland at the time of the Green Terrace Bunker project. He was a photographer and film maker and worked for an organisation called Community Arts Project Sunderland, based at St Ignatious shops in Hendon. He enlisted Tommy Hair as camera operator and set about making a film about The Musicians Collective and The Bunker. The end product is about 21 minutes long and shot on very ropey video equipment. This is back in the days when I only knew one person who owned a home VCR (and that was big enough to land a helicopter on). They shot stuff over the transition period between the original base at Borough Road, and the eventual move to Green Terrace School in mid 1982. The film features most of the main Bunker founders and quite a few faces who were just around at the time and who were grabbed to do a scene. It is Co narrated by Jo Campbell, Dave Irwins then girlfriend, and Ian 'Stosh' Storey, who worked down the ship yards at the time. Son of Stosh, Les Storey, plays guitar for Sheerdrop, who practice at the current Bunker. They feature on the 'Bands' section of the site. The King pin Character, roving reporter Vick Zimmerman, is played by Dave Irwin, guitarist and singer in I Breathe First and early Bunker volunteer. I don't think anything was ever done with the video. Click on the thumbnails opposite to find out more.

If you are wondering why there is no scene 5, thats because I numbered them wrong and can't be arsed to go back in and do them all again. Use your imagination and invent one in your head. The possibilities are endless.

These are screeshots by the way, and don't actually play. If you would like to fund a sight posh enough to offer video, drop me an email and I will let you know where you can send the dosh.
